    What breeds and sex are these

    I don't know what breed these two dark ones are. I suspect they are Silver Pencil Rock Cockerels but I am not sure at all. I have never owned this breed before. They are 8 Weeks old. These are just as much of a mystery to me. Are they female Silver Penciled Rocks or are they Heritage...

    Amazing Babies

    Little Baby Chicks are so amazing! This little girl, who I have named "Queen Ninja" was at death's door when she arrived Monday. Five of her clutch mates did not survive. The hatchery forgot to put the heat packs in the box with the chicks when they were shipped (from Missouri to Nevada!). I...

    Called?

    What does it mean when you hear the phrase..... the chick was called? Does that mean killed? I know that I have heard the phrase mentioned when a chick has problems or cannot be identified as one sex or another when they are sorting Cream Legbars. So am I right? Are they killed?

    Can You tell Splash from birth?

    Hello all, I received three Blue Favaucana from My Pet Chicken. My question is .... can you tell if a chick is going to be Splash from the time it is born. If so isn't it misleading to sell a splash as a blue? Or is a blue still a blue even if it is Splash colored? So far I think I have 2...

    Rooster???

    Hello I have updated photos of one of my little girls. I am fairly certain that she is a rooster. I have another Barred plymouth Rock that is bigger than this one, so is it possible for a hen of one breed to be bigger than an rooster, or should I assume that they are both Roosters?

    Do not mix Delawares?

    I just read that Delawares do not mix well with other breeds, Can you tell me why? I have two of them and do not want to put them with the others if they are going to create problems.

    Is it necessary to cool your chickens?

    I was wondering just how concerned you should be about cooling down your chickens? Though I love them dearly, and do not want them to suffer, I wonder what temps it has to reach before you become concerned about their health. Mine are two months old and it was not too long ago that I had them in...

    Diarrhea in Chicks

    I got up this morning and saw (and smelled) some diarrhea in the brooder. My chicks are 4 weeks old and I gave them some wheat bread yesterday. Not a lot. A small bite for each of them. Could this have caused it and should I be concerned? they seem very active and alert other than the Runny POO.
