Hi all! I am the aunt with the Welsummer 😁. She is doing so much better today. She can stand and is taking some steps. I have been giving her egg yolk with nutri-drench along with her regular crumbles. I also put some electrolytes in her water and gave her some vitamin B as suggested. I am...

One week later... #1 #3 (Looks redder to me but also looks like it has a cut on its comb) Side by side: The black one is significantly smaller and has skinny legs. Looking forward to seeing what it turns into.

I agree. I felt pretty sure about #1 as well and needed to keep one other as a buddy. We will see what #3 turns out to be!

I kept #1 and #3. I will post pictures as they develop. Thanks for your help!

#1 and #3 were my first choices too. The others look like boys to me. #3 is one of the smaller ones.

A friend of mine hatched these chicks in her classroom. I am thinking about keeping two of them to replace two of my hens that a friend is taking. These are mixes of all sorts and they are 3 weeks old. Which two would you keep? (FYI I am in the city and cannot have roosters) This is all...

Hi, my oldest chicken is concerning me a little. About a month ago I noticed that her fluff feathers had not lost the sheathing around them. I brought her in, gave her a bath and helped remove the sheathing. Now they are all fluffy and look good (I will add that she did not have about 75% of...

For the first time ever I got an egg from each of my chickens! I have had chickens for almost 4 years and this has never happened, always one short. I am pretty excited about it. Eggs clockwise starting on green: easter egger, easter egger, cuckoo marans, white rock, partridge rock, buff...

Yes that does make me feel better!

I have been watching the other chickens, no one seems to pick on her. They don't get scratch, I give them BOSS and dried mealworms as a snack. Their feed is Ranch-Way organic no soy layer which I believe is 16-18%. I had them on a higher protein feed when I merged my younger girls which was 20%...

I have a 1.5 year old Mottled Java that has lost most of the feathers on her head and throat (see picture). She is not the bottom of the pecking order, I would say she is ranked 2nd out of the 9 hens I have. I don't have any roosters either. What would cause her to lose the feathers on her...

I am at Harrington, north of City Park. We won't be hatching many duck eggs, last year we only had two hatch, I will let you know what we get. They are Pekin. Keep us posted on your chicks!

That is how I acquired our first chicks. We hatch chicks in our kindergarten class and two of the ECE classrooms do too. I picked 6 out of about 20 chicks and I managed to get 5 roosters! I hope you have better luck than I did. This year we are also hatching ducks which I will be looking to...

I caught my Cuckoo Marans yesterday in my neighbor's yard, stalking a cat! The cat was not interested in all. This funny chicken will even charge at my Jack Russells, she is pretty brave! Anyone else have a chicken who is not such a chicken?

I vote for roo. Out of my three EEs, one had that comb and he is all boy!

He is an EE Where are you?

Any suggestions on what to do with an 8 week old rooster? I am in the city limits and cannot have him, and he has started to crow in the mornings. I had suspicions early on and now I regret not doing something about it then, now he is too big to cull easily and I can't keep him till he is big...

I love watching them turn colors! Always a surprise.

Me too!
