    Mystery chick

    So I got this little girl (I'm assuming she's a girl until that comb gets a little bigger) in Tractor Supply Co. with their bantam assortment and she's the only one out of the bunch that I still can't figure out. At first I thought she could be a modern game hen since she's so lanky but with...

    TSC assorted bantams breed help

    I just got five bantie chicks from the assorted bantams at Tractor Supply Co. and I need a little help narrowing down which breeds they are. I have a few ideas but it's hard to be certain. #1: I'm thinking this one could be a Cochin because it's hella feather-legged. Like seriously, it's a...

    What have I brought into this world?

    One of my hens has gone broody and hatched her first brood this week. She had a few of her own eggs (she's a golden-laced wyandotte), two from the easter egger, and then two from our bantam bwc polish hen. The catch is that the father is the proud, surly RIR roo, Moses, that's staring you down...

    RIR Roo + Bantam Polish Hen

    Sooo one of my wyandottes went broody and we decided to let her sit this time. She has 8 fertile eggs under her: 4 from her and her sister, 2 from our Easter egger, and then 2 from our bantam polish hen, all sired by our RIR rooster, Moses. I'm excited to see what all of the babies will look...

    Bright green poop, help!!

    This morning I noticed one of my Easter Egger acting sleepy and tired. I didn't think much of it then, since a few other birds were lying down for a nap. However, it's been a few hours and I just went back out to find her asleep again. It could just be coincidence, but I thought it best to...

    Easter Egger and Silkie HELP!

    I need help figuring out the gender of two of my chicks, an Easter Egger and a Silkie both at two months. They're both favorites within our flock, so I'm really crossing my fingers they're pullets. I know the front part looks red, but I think it may just be the contrast against the white. In...

    Northeast Alabama predators

    I live on Noccolula Mt in Gadsden and I want to predator proof my coop. I know I need to account for raccoons, opossums, and foxes, but are there any other predators like mongooses I should be worried about? We also have Red-Tailed Hawk in abundance, but I've heard they won't attack a standard...

    Easter Egger feathers

    At around what age do easter eggers' 'true colors' come in i.e. the feathers around their necks and head. I love how their feather colors are mostly a gamble and I'm excited to see when mine will start developing their own.

    Raising chicks outdoors - Best Decision Ever

    I'll preface this by saying this is only my third time being a chick parent, so I am by no means an expert. This is just my own personal experience with raising chicks outdoors. I also live in a very warm, humid climate, which makes outdoor brooding much easier. If you want to try raising...

    5 week old social butterfly

    One of my two rooster chicks is very socially adept. While both of them will jump onto my shoulder/head, Moses will jump onto anyone regardless of if they're strangers or not. I was just wondering if maybe there's an instinctive chicken reason why he does this, or if maybe it's friendliness?

    Mold in coop

    We've had a couple of rainy days lately and this morning I noticed mold growing near the edges of the coop. The coop is rainproof for the most part, but the water still splashes in from outside a bit. We removed (hopefully) all the mold that we found today, but is there a way to keep the...

    Help with RIR and Ameracauna

    Could anyone help identify the gender of these two, month-old chicks? This is our Rhode Island, they're very curious and brave and won't hesitate to jump on your lap, which leads me to believe they're a rooster. Our Ameracauna is very shy and flighty and I don't see much of a comb, but their...

    Bantam?

    One of the first two chicks that I got from this flock was a white crested Polish named Henrietta. We were told when we got her that she was a week old, but we soon figured out that she was closer to 3 weeks or a month. Now all my other chicks are approaching their month birthday, and...

    Question about roosters

    I have a flock of 10 chicks and it looks like I definitely have at least two roosters. I'm prepared for the inevitability of having to rehome one, but is it possible for two roos to coexist peacefully in a flock this size? The reason I ask is because my personal favorite, a speckled Sussex...

    Inside Chickens

    My brother and his friend have both always wanted a silkie and so we added a buff and a blue frizzle chick to our flock from a local breeder. The breeder we bought from (alabama silkies, absolutely wonderful service and chicks in Piedmont, AL) showed off all of her show silkies, who all had...

    Speckled Sussex: Abigail or Abraham

    This is my two-and-a-half week old speckled sussie who is growing their comb out significantly faster than their siblings are. This is luckily my favorite chick, so they get to stay and be our sole rooster if my suspicions are correct. I will say, they run like a hen with their head forward...

    Chicken guard dogs

    I have two Great Pyr/Collie mixes who run our fenced in backyard. We'd love to move our chicken coop into the backyard to keep predators away, but we're a little concerned about our dogs turning hostile towards the chickens. Our girls are both very smart and easily trainable, on top of being...

    How old is my polish chick?

    This is Henrietta. We got her from a local farmer at a trade day and he said she was 2 weeks old. That was a week ago, so she should be three weeks, but she has a lot more of her feathers and is a bit bigger than all my other 3 week old chicks. Can anyone help? This was her a week ago
