    These are chicks from a buff polish hen and are a few days old. There was an EE, white silkie and black silkie roo in with the hen. No fuzzy feet or extra toes. Anyone want to guess who the babies daddy is? Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Chick #1 Chick #2 Chick #3

    First try at incubating

    Hello everyone. Decided to build an incubator and give hatching a try. A friend gave me some EE and game fowl eggs. I have a couple of questions.

    Carnivorous plants

    Hello everyone. Ive been growing carnivorous plants for 7-8 years now. I love them. The colors, the flowers and definitely the leaves modified to digest insects. I'm sure I'll have to consider chicken proofing them. I'll post a few pics. If you want to see more ask and I'll post.

    This forum is awesome!!!

    Ive learned so much in the last 2 weeks about chickens and BYC has been my main source of info. So much activity and helpful posts. I'm on a lot of forums and this one, by far, is the most informative.

    Male vs female chicks

    Do they act different? I have one chick Thats a bully and the rest are calm. The "bully" even pecks me when I get close. Could it be a rooster or can hens have aggressive personalities too? Thanks!
