    8 Rhode Island Red chicks (male) in Austin, TX

    My order of baby chicks coming on Wednesday will be padded with ~8 RIR baby boys. I raise my chickens for eggs, not meat, and therefore have no desire for the boys. While I realize male chickens are mostly unwanted (even free), I thought I'd give it a shot. If anyone is interested in them...

    Who laid these dark brown eggs?

    Most of my chickens are now 22 weeks old, and a few have started to lay eggs. I'm trying to figure out who is laying, short of setting up a camera inside the coop. Most of them I've figured out (I think), but this dark egg is still really confusing to me. Whoever it is has now laid 6 eggs...

    5 chickens - Almost 2 weeks old - All similar in coloring - What breed?

    These guys are 12 days old in these pictures. I got 2 different assortments (bantam and "rare") at the same time and have spent a lot of time in front of the computer the last 2 weeks comparing pictures to try to get everyone sorted out. I think I've identified everyone I was sent other than...
