One of the chicks I hatched may 13th is maybe 1/3 the size of the rest of the chicks I hatched. I gave her to my mom a couple weeks ago and she really just hasn't seemed to grow. She is a barnyard mix, rumpless but that is all I know. She hatched the same couple days as the ones around her, do...
I have an 8 weekish cockerel named Leroy. I am sad that I can not keep him, he is pretty even tempered and friendly. He has already started crowing, and has a gorgeous comb, its hard to tell but I'm 99% positive it will be a buttercup and I have been informed he is likely a sicilian buttercup. I...

Thank you

I am going to be getting 4 chicks and would prefer them to be very specific breeds. The only places that have them here in wichita offer an assortment, and don't have specific breeds, the break it down into pullets, cockerels, and st run bantams. I can not order from an online hatchery due to my...
