    Just checking on these gals are gals.

    Okay so all of them were bought as pullets, from two different feed stores. They are almost 7 weeks old. AND VERY UNCOOPERATIVE. The Light Brahma is normally as pink as is shown in the pictures. The Welsummer isnt normally that pink, and it could very well be because I had to chase her around...

    Chicks dropping off, one by one?

    Okay so here is the deal, we had a few chickens we bought straight run. They ended up boys. We found them a new home and decided we wanted the maximum flock our ordinance allows for so we went and picked up two new babies that would join our others later on. The first night all seemed great...

    We have two 4 and a half week old D'uccles we bought straight run. Both are looking like little roosters, so we are looking to see if any one has interest in taking them?

    Peaches is getting a little suspicious.

    This is Peaches. Our amberlink. She is three weeks old. But "her" comb is looking significantly bigger than all the other chicks. Peaches is our only amberlink so I dont have anyone else to compare to. Thoughts? Also Peaches is not a cooperative model, so this was the best I could do.

    Chicks with large crops

    All six of my chicks have some pretty good size crops the last few days. They are very noticeable but not to the point the skin looks super stretched or anything. They are all still very active, very interested in food and water, and I think they are all still pooping since it feels like I am...
