    Breed?

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a roo, yes? I originally thought it was a buff orpington but they dont have the small combs, right? He was a part of a heavy breed assortment.

    Hen or Roo?

    We thought this was a hen but caught her crowing this morning. She was a part of a heavy assorted straight run, with one other that looked exactly like her until about 8 weeks old. We figured the other was a roo (he definitely is) and she grew consistantly a little smaller and her coloring...

    ID help please

    These litte guys are about 6 weeks old. We ordered the Heavy Assorted from Ideal, any guesses? I know we have some buff orpingtons and a light brahma, but I can’t figure these out.

    New to ducklings..

    Hello... We decided to get some ducklings... Ended up with straight run, hatchery choice day old ducklings (20 of them).

    Buying chicks from TSC in January?

    We have lost all of our flock the past couple of months from various predators since our German shepherd went missing in August. I'd like to buy some chicks so that we can start getting eggs by summer (the chicks we had were just barely starting to lay). Has anyone ordered chicks during the...

    Rooster behavior?

    I'm not sure if this is the right spot for this.. We are newbies, our oldest chicks are 14 weeks old. Two are roos. They occasionally fight and puff their feathers at each other, but they've started to do it towards us now. My favorite one has taken to pecking at my toes when I wear flip flops...

    Hail storm

    A hail storm just blew thru and the roof of our coop collapsed. Our older chicks are fine but our week old chicks that were in the brooder ended up very wet and very cold, the cover on the brooder at least kept the big hail away. I think two are injured, they arent moving much. When the rain...

    Newbie question about introducing new chicks..

    We just purchased 10 new chicks to add to our "flock". We have the chicks in their own coop for now, but they are about 1 week to 4 weeks old per the feed store. Our "big chicks" are about 8-10 weeks old. 2 are "ladies" and we have 2 that just started crowing last week. Since our older chicks...

    Is it common..

    to buy sexed chickens that end up being wrong? We got 5 "pullets" but ended up with 2 roos. We got 5 more and I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 more. Just curious if this is something I should expect or if maybe we are buyibg from people that are just guessing. This is our first flock, so...
