Can anybody share pics of your 1 day -1 week old blue EE? I just love them and my local pet store is getting EE pullets in soon. I want to be sure to pick blue ones but I cannot find pics of them as chicks online. Thank you for any help you have to offer :D
I purchased this little cutie at Tractor Supply labeled as an Ameraucana. I know they’ve been known to label their chicks wrong so am wondering if someone can confirm this? Or do I have an Easter Egger?
I noticed tiny bugs on my arm after retrieving an egg from the nest box! Upon further inspection, I found many of them on the nest boxes! I'm getting ready to check the chickens now; I'm sure I will find them on them =( What are they and how do I get rid of them??? I have a video of them but...
My Cream Crested Legbar pullet is laying white eggs :hit Do they start out white and change to blue after they've worked the kinks out? I've waited so long for blue eggs!
I'm so excited to be able to add a couple of Black Copper Marans to my small backyard flock Pictures taken at 1 week old. Thoughts on roo or pullet? My guess is one of each but would love to hear thoughts from experienced people =)

I have a silkie hen that lays her eggs in the corner of the pen, all the other chickens use the nest boxes in the coop. Are there any tricks or ideas on how to encourage her to use the nest box?
We will be building a new coop in the next couple of days and want to make sure I have the right ideas. I have 6 chickens total, with 3 of them being silkies. My idea is to build it 3 1/2 feet wide, 4 feet long, and 4 feet tall. I will have 2 roosts, one 5 inches from the floor and one 2 feet...
Hello. My chickens will be 22 weeks old on Monday and still no eggs. Should I be concerned or more patient? A Buff Orpington, Black, Sex Link, Isa Brown, and a Silkie (although I don't expect the silkie to start laying in the very near future)
I have a small flock of 4 chickens, with only one being a silkie and he/she is lonely I would love to find her a friend! Willing to travel. I HAVE FOUND MY GIRL 2 FRIENDS I am no longer In Serach Of but I don't know how to delete this add.
I'm afraid they are small for their age. The are 11 weeks old as of Monday July 11th, except for the Silkie he/she is 10 weeks old. Pictures below; What do you think?
8 weeks old and they finally all have name! Peaches, Nugget, Jade, and Impulse

Meet Impulse! My impulse purchase! LOL! I was just going to pick up a bag of feed and of course had to look at the babies and look what I came home with Here is a picture of her alone and then also with the other chicks. The 3 originals are 7 weeks old and the new one is 6 weeks old
I have been around chickens while spending time on my Aunts farm but never have owned them. I think choosing the location was harder than building it! LOL! Our first thought was farthest away from the house because of peoples opinions of them being stinky. Our property backs up to woods and for...
Hi all, our Buff Orpington is on the smaller side compared to the other two (Black Sex Link and an Isa Brown). Also, she has some black spots on her feathers. Wondering if this is normal? Either way, she has my heart, I just want to make sure she's healthy.
I have a black sex link pullet and have been looking at pictures/reading descriptions trying to figure out if she will have green feathers, without much success. Is it just the males that have this color?
Hello. I brought my 3 baby chicks home the other day. I purchased them from a very knowledgeable person that has been raising and selling chickens for 25 years. After discussing what was important to myself and my family, I decided on a Black Sex Link, a Buff Orpington, and an Isa Brown. I have...
