That’s so interesting!! I love to see how these things go, I think I would have had to let them keep a few just for fun, it’s so sweet so see a hen raise chicks. And certainly less work!
One time i was trying to get a hen to take three feed store chicks and she kept rejecting one blond chick. I...
Thank you! She was only 4 months old. I thought about a necropsy but it’s not in the budget right now. The liquid was draining from eyes and nostrils, thin and clear, like urine.
If we lose any more though i think i will have to get one done.
Thanks for your reply!
Hi all, I have a mixed flock of chickens, one roo and eight pullets. To my knowledge, they are all vaccinated. A few came from a local farm store and the rest shipped from a hatchery and I paid additional for vaccination.

Thanks!!
Hi! How is your mystery chick feathering in? I have my own mystery chicks that I think are Americana/EE. Id love to see possible grown feathering, if you have photos.
Is this called lavender or blue or silver? Any way, I’m insatiably curious what this chick might look like when grown. Does anyone with a similar bird have photos of the grown pullet? I believe she is Americana, from Mt Healthy Hatchery.
🤣 That’s how 98% of my chick purchases happen…spur of the moment. I’m glad mine are on the way because after those pics 👆🏼 I almost need to go get some tomorrow.
