    Ordering different breeds (pullets) online..? Any advice

    Hoping to order a few different breeds this coming spring for my flock since I have had bad luck at my local TSC with breed and gender (I am a newbie and told them I wanted pullets for eggs and they gave me several meat birds ) My question is, does anyone have any advice or experience ordering...

    Hidden eggs everywhere! Any ideas?

    I have had one GLW laying about 5 eggs a week for several weeks now. We returned home from a 5 day trip today to find 7 eggs scattered behind our shed and under an old utility trailer. I felt like a kid on Easter today! I'm not sure if one or two more girls started laying while we were gone, but...

    Help on breed please! Took in a neglected hen!

    Took in a hen that was neglected, and not sure what she is. As she is now getting healthy and very happy I noticed her tail feathers have black and when she flaps her wings the tips are white... Her body is a darker shade then her neck and head also... Age is unknown, thought she was very young...

    Help on breed for a few new girls in my flock!

    I took in some rescue birds that were very neglected. They hardly had any feathers and were under weight. They were quarantined for a few weeks and have recently joined my other girls. They are still rough but have been very happy and eating well. I noticed a few "lumps" on the white birds and...

    Rooster advise? Not looking to breed..

    Cornish X for eggs...? :(

    As I have had a lot of advice on my chicken breeds on here I have discovered I am the owner of two Cornish X and 6 golden laced wyandottes. One rooster out of my Cornish X and 1 rooster out of my GLW. I am upset because I wanted them for eggs (and pets at this point! :) ) and not meat birds...

    White leghorn or rock? Cockerel or pullet?

    I thought we had white leghorns, but I'm starting to lean towards white rocks over the past few weeks. They have bulked up quite a bit and are getting larger than my GLW which are older! They have quite a waddle when they run now!:P someone stopped over our house and said that what I thought...

    Anyone help on breed? Possible sebrights?

    Hoping they aren't sebrights like someone else mentioned.. Bought them at tractor supply out of the selection of pullets, not the bantams! I'm a first time chicken owner and my goal was eggs and I see sebrights aren't known for their egg laying! TSC didn't have very knowledgeable staff the day I...

    Pullet or roo, possible breed? First time chicken owner!

    Got my "girls" from a selection of pullets not labeled, and I'm a first timer with chickens.. Two out of my eight had a pretty distinct comb early on and their feet are much wider and bigger then the other 6. I'm guessing I have a couple boys in my flock! I have a picture of one white that I...
