    Speckled Sussex Pullets

    Still looks like a pullet to me, mine are 10 weeks old now. Admittedly, I’ve never had a Sussex rooster for reference. Between 6-8 weeks old it should start being pretty clear.

    Speckled Sussex Pullets

    I would say yes because of the long tail and well-developed feathers, but give it another week or two.

    Ducklings Are Mysteriously Dying Please Help

    They also stand/walk with their feet on top of each other and they groom almost constantly and have scabbing in their feet. 3 are still alive, we bathed them in apple cider vinegar.

    Ducklings Are Mysteriously Dying Please Help

    They have a strange disease eating their down and webbing, I’ve never seen this before. Some Latinos that didn’t speak much English dropped them on us and two have already died, one currently dying. PLEASE HELP. We just had them at the avian vet last Tuesday and he didn’t catch this.

    6-week-old Speckled Sussex Pullets

    I'm thinking of selling 2 of my brood, what would be a reasonable price idea? I know the breed is somewhat rare, and the cost of shipping 2 started pullets can be insane. I'll be taking them to a chicken swap. It's my first swap, so I have no idea what pricing is like, but assuming I don't swap...

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    Wow, that’s pretty bad. My best advice would be to go on a week day in the morning hours or early afternoon, this is most likely when the store’s receiver is there. They of all employees should know what they checked into the store. Although I’ve heard a few locations in WV and probably other...

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    We like to clearance out “older” chicks because we get escapees after a while. They usually get to this age because they haven’t sold well in general, although some experienced customers understand they’re essentially getting started pullets or meat birds.

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    My local Tractor Supply now has Dominiques and Delawares! Kind of surprised. Others include Barred Rocks, White Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshire Reds, Bantams, and more Khaki Campbells.

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    I would be a little concerned about the Ameraucana chick in the second photo, the hatchling wing shape is roo-like, although it's not a hard rule. Most hatcheries maintain that they're only 90% accurate at sexing.

    I would say hatched within the week. Most hatcheries schedule hatches to be on Mondays and/or Wednesdays. So 4 or 6 days old.

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    Lately we've had Red Rangers, Silkies, Sebrights, Welsummers and some other bantams, Rhodes Island Reds, bantam New Hampshire Reds, Cornish X, ISA Browns, Buff Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, White Rocks, and Black Australorps.

    Tractor Supply Chick Days 2018

    Share a photo and we could probably tell which week of life. Only the Receiver is allowed to receive the chicks, and he or she usually doesn't care about what the hatch date says on the box.

    NH with Leg Problems

    Another Update: She started walking today, I put her back with the other chicks. Still stumbles a bit but leagues better than where she was.

    NH with Leg Problems

    Update: It is most definitely perosis. But I did walk in to her standing tonight. First time I ever saw her stand. Still a bit wobbly and clumsy. I put lots of vitamins in her water and food.

    Duck Laid Weird Egg

    Yes we do have a drake! I was thinking that was it judging on the cyan coloring.

    NH with Leg Problems

    At about 2 weeks old, the bird had a leg injury. It was assumed to be a broken leg. It was not given any medical treatment for a week. The bird was given to me at 3 weeks old and seemed to be somewhat healed. I wrapped the leg, swelling went down, she has a great appetite and gets around...

    Duck Laid Weird Egg

    One of my Khaki Campbells laid an egg with a blue-green spot in the yolk. They only just started laying again a few weeks ago, we washed and refrigerated. It was laid in February. Has mold set in already?

    They were straight-run, but we're basically city folk and nobody wants meat birds... so they didn't sell for the longest time lol. They were 2 or 3 weeks old when someone finally bought the lot. Oakdale/Imperial's minimum is 4 chicks or 2 ducklings. Last year it was 6 chicks or 2 ducklings.
