    I had a broody hatch 2 chicks about 10 days ago, and another hatched 4 yesterday. Today the first mama hen had two of the new chicks following her around and was cornering the new mama hen and trying to take the other two.

    First time with broody, 3 eggs

    I have an australorp that insisted on going broody, it had been trying off and on for weeks. Finally I gave it 3 eggs on June 10th, and it's been sitting on them since. The other day I found it had changed nests, and was off the eggs for long enough for them to get cold. I moved her back to the...

    Breed ideas? 3weeks old

    im trying to identify this little chick, sold as a white leghorn. It appears to have barring on its wings, so I'm really not sure what it is. I contacted the feed store I got them at, and after much discussion learned that his "hatchery" chicks are from a local "breeder"... So no ideas what its...

    Evacuation plans

    last night an ugly truth about where I live reared its head. I was very VERY near to a wildfire evacuation zone, and although we didn't have to go, a shift in the wind could have changed that in an instant. As we considered the possibilities and our options, it became apparent we did not have...

    cockerel afraid of heights?

    of my ten growing chickens, ages 7-10weeks, one of my cockerels seems afraid to get on the highest roost in the run. He is actually the oldest, largest, and is definitely in charge of the bunch. The 2x4 is only about 4 feet up, but he is the only one that will not go up there. I placed him up...

    first crow (attempt), will other cockerels follow suit?

    Yesterday morning I heard the first crow attempt of my 10 week old barred rock! I let them out of the coop at 5 am, gave them fresh water and food, petted them for a bit and when I was walking away from the run I heard it; "aaaa-aa-a". It was the most pathetic and cute crow I have ever heard! I...

The bin was all mixed together, and there were 2 other blackish breeds in there too. Can anyone tell me if I picked out the right chicks? These two...
