    WHat kind of Wyandotte?

    Need some Wyandotte experts ... got these two from my local chick guy ... these were a few of the lighter ones Witt only hints of tan on their heads. They about exactly 6 weeks today. He had just got them ~30 minutes before I came in, had the BLRWs in their own brooder so I was literally the...

    When to worry, when to leave it be?

    Is my Zora really a Zoro? 3.5 week old BRs

    Need a little help with my second round of chicks I'm adding to my existing flock of four. All of the sudden, I fear I'm seeing that my Zora, the most curious one of the trio, might be a Zor-OH! Both of the BRs are hatchery stock, jumping all over each other trying to work out pecking order, and...
