    Any nail art enthusiasts out there?

    And another new mani. The new nail tips are thinner and more flexible like real nails, but they also chip and break more like real nails too! Plus it's been so humid here that the nail tips were starting to lift. Time for some natural nails now.

    Is this a group of pullets?

    That's what I was thinking too. Hence the caveat "if these are saphire gems."

    🙏 PLEASE HELP 🙏 What the heck am I? ❤️ 💙 🐔 🐥

    Very pretty! Age would really help in guessing gender, but she looks like a female to me. She has a crest, so legbar ancestry is probably accurate. Feathered legs certainly could come from marans, though the black feathers say it was not a splash. Do you own the parents? What breeds are in the...

    Is this a group of pullets?

    If these really are sapphire gems and no mix ups happened between the hatchery and you then you have at least two boys. Sapphire gems are a sex linked hybrid, females are non-barred and males are barred. The bottom two chicks in the photo are definitely barred.

    Chickens attacked , killed and mauled by neighbors dog-

    It's looking so good! I'd wait until it completely closes to put her outside. It may be there in a week or it might take a little longer, only time will tell. She will probably always have a little depression there in the middle of the wound. And she may never have feathers there, but once the...

    The Sullivan Six

    Apollo seems to be settling in with the flock pretty well. She still runs from Paprika and Amalthea, but as long as she's not where they want to be or directly challenging them they seem content to let her be. Artemis still seems to think she has something to prove, but she seems to be able to...

    Professional Necropsy - what does this mean?

    Salpingitis is inflammation of the oviduct. Ascending infection means they think the bacteria was introduced through the cloaca and traveled up the reproductive tract. Then the infection spread to the blood and from there to the liver where it causedcell death. Coelomitis is the medical term for...

    Black Copper Maran Pullet or Roo

    Should I give up?

    I would give it a few more days, especially if you're not 100% certain what day they're on. Not all (arguably most) babies will arrive on their due date. Let the hen decide when she's done, nature is usually better at these things than we are.

    Rooster and hens together or separate coops at night?

    No, but certain colors or patterns can obscure the identifying characteristics in newly hatched chicks. For example, with barred sexlinks it can be difficult to see the head spot that indicates barring (and therefore male) on colors other than black. For red sexlinks some patterns, like lacing...

    It really is! I was starting to think we should change her name to Houdini, but I think this is a sign!

    Any nail art enthusiasts out there?

    One of my nails popped off overnight, so I got to do new nails today! One of the new plates I got last week is a French tip plate with lots of different animal prints.

    I just realized today is the anniversary of the moon landing. Apollo laid her first egg on the anniversary of the Apollo11 mission landing on the moon!

    Breed identification

    Disagree (sorry @Bertram , i don't mean to call you out specifically yours just happened to be the first post saying this when I scrolled back up) Since single combs are recessive, they can be passed down for generations undetected before they pop up seemingly out of nowhere. Since single...

    Easter Egger and Olive Egger confusion

    Easter egger and olive egger are general umbrella terms for mixed breed chickens with the potential to lay colored eggs. Both can look like just about anything. Neither is guaranteed to lay a particular color, only that they are likely to lay colored eggs. All olive eggers are a type of easter...

    New babies but no idea of the breed or sex

    Personally I'm not seeing anything that screams boy on any of them yet. But they mag be just a bit young yet for the secondary sex characteristics to start showing

    The Sullivan Six

    Apollo seems to have made friends with Limu. She's also apparently allowed to peck Limu and Limu backs down. Marcille also seems to be dominated by Apollo, she actively avoids her. Artemis, Paprika, and Lady Amalthea on the other hand still have something to prove, so she (mostly) avoids them...
