Hey fellow Washingtonians!
Glad I finally found you all!
I live up in Snohomish County and just started my flock in February. We currently have 37 chickens between 3 weeks and 14 weeks old. Hoping all are pullets, (still waiting for a few of the young ones to fully feather out), and...
I just got these girls 3 days ago, 7.5- 8 week old blue orpington pullets. Not any red on comb, some pink, but little red on wattles on both. Are these girls?
1st girl is Patsy:

Girl #2 Neko:
This is my first partridge chantceler, Laverne, she is around 4 weeks old. I don't have another one so cannot compare feathering in, but she seems slow compared to my other girls (different breeds) at 4 weeks. She is flighty, stands tall and aggressive to smaller chicks so I suspect she might...
This is our girl LaLune, a 4.5 week old french black copper maran. She is the only FBCM I have so I have nothing to compare too. She has a larger comb, but its pale, no red to it and no red to wattles. Exhibits no stereotypical roo qualities, sweet as can be, just wanted to know sooner than...
So my 2 easter egger girls/boys are 4.5 weeks old. I have suspected by behavior, color (black/white) and comb development, now the pinkening and prominance of comb, that I have 2 roos (pardon how disheveled the look, been enjoying watermelon). What's your expert opinion?
1st suspect EE June...
I have 2 EE chicks, nearly 4 weeks old, white, gray and black feathers coming in, no mahogany or red yet, but looks like 3 pea comb, not red, no wattle yet. Does 3 pea mean rooster?
So, this is our girl Pearl, she is a near 11 week old Easter Egger. She has all the colorings, and what I feel (as a newbie) characteristics of a pullet... except this week in some spots her rust color is getting darker, deeper- which makes me worry rooster. But her comb is smallest out of all...
Hi there, I have 2 3-week old EE sold as pullets. They are both unique colors i have not seen on here yet (but hopefully you have), one is a yellow, chartruse color- now silver/black wings and the other shades of yellow, silver, grays. What color will they turn out? Do you have hens that...
I just brought home a new batch of chicks today and they seem very thirsty. They are drinking a ton and I think over drinking cause some of the water is coming back up- are they choking, spiting up, drinking too much? What are they doing?
Thanks
This is violet, our golden lakenvelder. she is 5.5-6 weeks old. No signs of wattles, her comb is getting a bit pinker though. What do you think- pullet or roo?
This is Adele, she is 5.5-ish weeks old. I have no idea what breed she is, help? Light pink/cream
legs, no wattle yet, light pink comb, pretty eyeliner eyes. Beginning to get black feathering around neck, tail. What do you think?
This is our egyptian fayoumi Olivia, 4.5 weeks old. She is feathering in nicely and getting her coloring, no wattles, no red in comb. Just checking to see if you think she is a girl or boy??
Thanks!
I have a wonderfully sweet Easter Egger rooster Stan the Man, 8 weeks old. He is very sweet, handles well with kids (they like to push him in stroller and take on bike rides) and beautiful. We just ended up with a rooster we cannot have and he started crowing this week.
The $10.00 includes...
Hi there,
I have 2 cute as buttons Easter-Eggers, sold to me as americaunas, that are 5 and 6 days old. Beautiful shades of creams, smoke, blue, silver, gray almost. Can their feathers now be a clue as to what they might look like as hens? Did any of your baby chicks look like this, and...
these are our 3 sweet buff orps at 8 weeks old; Princess Buttercup, Alice and Penny. They all have same shape tail feathers from what my new eye, same color, one is smaller than the other 2, but not by much. Then I saw this reddish comb and beginning of waddle this week, at 8 weeks. is this a...
Hi there,
I have what I was told 2 speckled sussex pullets 4.5 weeks old, but they look different from one another in color, and specks. Thanks for any help!
Here is Es-cape:
Hi there,
I have a 2-day old baby chick, she is eating and drinking, but has started open mouth breathing the past few hours. What's going on, is she sick? I have given her probiotics and some vitamin/electrolytes.
Thanks
