    New to this internet about chickens

    It can depend on breed, but I find that time of year they hatch has a big impact too. Since they are 3 months now, they will turn 6 months in October. That is when the days are getting shorter, so some pullets will wait until the days start getting longer again before they lay. Others will...

    Breed/Gender

    Agree. The other two are probably cockerels as well, but it’s too soon to say for sure. The way they feather out and how they look at three weeks is sometimes accurate and sometimes not. If they are mixed breeds, then there is no way to know what the mix is. When they are older, you might have...

    Shredded feathers?

    I don’t know about your specific birds, but it is not uncommon for mites and parasites to prefer some birds over others. Birds with weak immune systems or other conditions can be mite magnets while others of their flock mates get none. Long ago when my kids got lice, I read that lice prefer...

    Advice on low hatch rates.

    Being in the US and not knowing what may be different about chicken feeds in the UK and Australia, I would say I doubt it’s the feed. I’ve never heard of specialty breeder feed. I just feed my flock layer pellets (yes, the roosters too) And my eggs hatch just fine. I don’t know anything about...

    SandHill Preservation review

    I agree. When I ordered Mille Fleur Leghorns and Redcaps from Sandhill, none of them ended up looking like MFL or RC. :idunno

    I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I remember you from before. I think you must have been a regular poster in some of the threads I follow.

    Found Chicks Alone

    Nah, not abandoned. OP lives in an area with feral chickens and found some that either got separated from their mom or their mom died.

    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    Those were the only two I found as well, and I didn’t bother to look at the pet caged bird article since I was looking for chicken articles. But that was very astute of you to make that connection. The VCA veterinarians are not board-certified avian veterinarians, but around here they are the...

    Does this egg look fertilized? Thought I had all hens!

    Oh, I knew you were joking! At first I thought you meant the bullseye had 3 rings meaning triplets. Then I realized there were those reflections and that made more sense. 😂

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    Back home now and today I’m going to use the mug I got in Vienna. We went to the Spanish Riding School to learn about the Lippizaner horses. (No show because the performance horses are in the country avoiding the summer heat. But we did get to see the non-performance horses in their stalls.)...

    feeding schedule for baby chicks

    Or you can restrict their diet before they get too fat to prevent it from happening. Usually if someone is hoping to raise the meat birds for breeding, then they try to grow them out slower to avoid leg and heart issues. It’s not always successful but can be done.
