I've become the crazy chicken lady around town, but I also converted my neighbors into getting chickens :) AND i turned my old baby cam into a coop cam, in the evenings it's in the coop and during the day it watches what small section of the run that it can see from where it's perched lol...
EE in Question:
and then these next few are in the 6 week range.
Speckled Sussex:
Salmon Favorelles:
The favorelles really has me on the fence. I see lots of Roo traits (dark colors, black on half the breast) but it didn't develop the black until pretty late, vs. the one that we...
Finally got individual pics of the new babies like I've been meaning to, wanted to track their growth and colors for fun, do a weekly growth of multiple breeds. So, here the babies are at a week and a half
1-3 salmon favorelles. Straight run.
4 jersey giant roo
5 light Brahma pullets (2 1/2...
I'm guessing roo, it's the only one that still hasn't developed a tail in the 3-4 week is group, and it also seems to like starting mini cock fights with the other chickens, not as much since two other chicks from the batch became food like I originally bought them for. But it'll try to fight...

So now I have those two little Brahmas, RIR, easter eggers, white leghorns, speckled Sussex, buff...
So, my little(heh) mixed flock I'm raising up will have 2-3 roos, assuming I can get them to get along and not be aggressive towards each other, but even if that's the case I plan on at least 1 Roo in with the girls and doing some hatching of mixes for myself.
Question is, I know the roo(s)...
Figured i've been mostly stalking the forums since around last year, and this year made an account to see if I got anything fun out of my mixed unlabeled TSC bin, but nah. Still, chickens are chickens and I love them for ALL their uses!
I have the small flock of young 6 (3 white leghorns, 2 EE...
Picked up some chicks, and there was a bin filled with a bunch of different chicks, they didn't really know what was in there because I guess no one properly checked them in or something, or at least thats what I was told.
So, I got 3 white leghorn pullets, and 4 randoms.
Some of the...
