    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or A Cockerel? Click Here!

    They are all the same age, but I'm wondering if the feathering is so slow because it has been so unseasonably warm. Is that possible? And amazingly the barely feathered frizzle #4 is close to being fully feathered now. Not sure why it happened in such a quick burst. I'd been wondering if...

    Help! Wrong side up!

    So sorry to hear it! I'd recommend getting hatching eggs from someone who can A) show you the parents on site B) show you that they've had success hatching their eggs themselves.

    Yes, it is good to trim it back a little from time to time so they can see well.

    This is Iris, though I highly suspect Iris is a boy... 3 Brahmas and one Easter Egger (she is actually an EE/Brahma mix)

    Brahma thread

    This is my little girl Blossom. She has ridiculous plumage on her feet and growing at the joint of her leg. She seems a bit different than my other Brahmas, but she was hatched from our own eggs!

    Easter Egger club!

    I have some Easter Egger related questions. I recently hatched several chicks and two of them have an Easter Egger dad. The both have tufts and seem to be developing what I've come to see as the EE body type (a little narrower with the perked tail feathers) In one case the Roo was a Wheaten...

    I have a Brahma chick that is about 6 weeks old and she has more feathers on her feet than I've ever seen on any Brahma chick. I will post a picture when I get a chance later today.

    Make sure they are handled daily and (if you can) set up your brooder so that you are reaching in at eye/ground level rather than from above. When we reach into a brooder from above it simulates the way in which a predator (hawk) might swoop down on them. I've found that since I made my...

    Egg bound and prolapse

    Believe it or not my girl is doing much better now too. She took up residence in our bathroom for a while, but I knew things were improving when I found her roosting on the shower curtain on Monday. She is eating well and the prolapse (after numerous repeat prolapses) seems to be doing better now.

    Show off your roosters

    Our newest aspiring roo. Four week old partridge orpington. He is clearly the boss of this hatch. Can't wait to see what he looks like full grown. He is already so full breasted for a chick of this age.

    Easter Egger club!

    The two Easter Eggers from my March hatch. I believe the one on the left is male (bulkier, 3 distinct rows of peas) and the one on the right is female (thin single row of peas with two tiny ridges on either side). She is a beautiful blue wheaten color.
