    Welsummer not confirming

    Wow that’s pretty bad luck to order 6 pullets and get 3 cockerels! (Your SLW does look like a boy to me.)

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

    How old is it? It looks pullet-like, but maybe it’s too soon to tell. I see feather legs and a crest, so it seems like Marans and Legbar could be in the mix. What other roosters and hens do you have?

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Also, after that I procured some $15 wire dog crates from goodwill and garage sales, and if people weren’t able to bring boxes, I would offer to let them buy a crate for $15 to take their birds home in. A few people took that deal. I would, if I were buying birds and didn’t have a transport...

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    That is my feeling as well. I used to get a lot of ethnic turkey buyers. A lot of them like to zip tie the legs together and pile them in the back seat with the kids. One family came and wanted to do the “neck sticking out of the feed sack corner method”. They also zip tied the legs. Well my tom...

    What Mug Are You Using Today?

    Another clearance mug from the grocery store yesterday for only 75 cents! For that price I will enjoy it for what’s left of the summer and then donate it. Besides, the bulky rim is a little dribbly. And then I guess I forgot to post this other mug I found at Goodwill last week. We just so...

    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.
