I’m no game warden, but you might want to check your state’s laws before handling a wild turkey egg and posting online.

It depends of course what color eggs the hens lay. If they lay a brown egg than most likely the offspring will lay 50% green and 50% will lay brown.

I’ve got an interesting male chick that is a multi generational fibro olive egger mix. It’s got all white feathers with dark skin, dark eyes, blue legs and yellow beak. I would say you could have him, but you already have your rooster.

This barnyard mix chick looks like it’s developing ear tufts. It doesn’t seem to be a beard/muff, but I could be wrong. What do yall say?

I noticed that on some of my chicks. Kinda like false eyes 👀 to fool predators

Easter egger barnyard mixes sure are trickier to tell gender than the pure breeds. I hope this one is a pullet. It doesn’t have much of a comb or wattles. I’m thinking only pullets would have this wild type pattern. No color to the comb, but the skin color is gray. The legs are thick and the red...

Chick “N” is a cute one.‘I would say the frizzle was the free chick. It’s beak, head, pattern, eyes, and feathers look different to me than the whitings.

9 weeks sure is early for crowing. I talked to my neighbors when my cockerels started crowing and they said it didn’t bother them at all and they were eager to get some colorful eggs. …but I was very paranoid in the beginning that I was upsetting the neighborhood.

Trucks don’t have the capacity for sensation or feeling, life or death. But… sorry to hear about your truck 🔥

Magic is a Whiting True Blue cockerel. He gets about 10 foot up on this old pen and surveys his yard.

I hand feed them in the brooder to get them used to moving towards my hand. When I feed them I call out “here chicky chicky” and they quickly catch on. As they munch on the food I will pick them up and gently set them down to get them used to being handled.

Are you sure it’s a whiting true blue? It looks a little different.

IMO I appreciate being able to pick up a chicken without having to chase it or use a net. That trust is built over time. It’s best to build that relationship early as possible in their development.

My pullets have been laying since mid March and the eggs have faded some and the speckles have increased. This one is from my lighter of the 2 marans.

I take that back, mine were only 2 weeks old when I let them into the main coop. You can use a bucket with nipples if you are concerned about a mess.

Here’s some of the chicks foraging by the coop. I have atleast 5 males. Some of the dark ones are getting silver on their hackles. I’ll need to start finding homes for the cockerels real soon.

Should be fine. I let my latest chicks into the coop with the main flock around 3-4 weeks.

If you find any good ones in Texas, let us now.

I found the experience of the forums is better when I put the ppl on IGNORE that consistently and confidently make incorrect claims.
