    Young Pullet Egg Or Fairy Egg

    Ok, so I got this tiny, tiny egg today. Two of the chicks hatched from a Polish mix blue green egg. They are mutts of mutts basically. But today I got this tiny, tiny egg. My polish mix had given me an egg today already and she's the only one that lays this color and size. So my young ones...

    Momma just doing her thing

    Three weeks old and out and about after a rain. Raising chicks the natural hands off way has been a piece of cake! Momma hen really knows best. I let her hatch them alone. But at day three, I opened the separated area in the run, let them out and things just magically work. She protected...

    First outing!

    Opened the door to my sectioned off part of the run to let momma hen and her chicks out to see what they would all do with each other! Momma, chicks, rooster, and other adult hens did great! When any other chicken would come close, mother hen would fluff up and growl at them and they kept...

    Letting Nature take it's course

    Well, I told myself that if one of my hens went broody, I'd let her sit on some eggs! My chickens are mutts and it's going to be interesting to see what nature gives me! She's sitting on 8 eggs now. Was 9 eggs. But I candled them when she got off the other day and saw that 8 out of the 9 had...

    Just an afternoon being lazy

    Now at 12 weeks old, the new 9 chickens have had their second outing from the run. They love it and now follow the older chickens in at dark! Had to round up a few on their first outing. Holding onto 4 roosters to see who is going to play the nicest for a while. Then three will find new...

    What breed?

    She was given to me as an olive Egger. But I know that's just an Easter Egger that lays an olive egg. But any further idea other than a mutt? She loves to be held and will just fall asleep on us. 10 weeks old and hardly a comb on her. Her sister is the last picture. I was thinking some...

    One still fooling me

    OK I have one young one at 11 weeks old still fooling me. I just got rid of 6 roosters out of a straight run and I kept this one because I am not sure yet. These are EE and Buff Orpington mixed. The first four pictures are of the chicken in question and the other pictures are reference...

    Help on male or female

    OK, got some better picture of my 8-9 week old EE and Buff Orpington mixes. 12 in total. But I have a feeling that I don't have very many pullets at all. Should be two pictures of most of them. Tried to get best pictures I could. Two for sure are pullets and I am 100% positive on another...

    Floppy Cockerel comb

    Well my rooster is five months old. Ever since his comb even began growing it's been floppy. Looks nice and red. He is mixed red sex link. Any reason to worry about it. He's just turning ito to be quite a good looking bird except this unruly comb he's growing.

    New from NWFL

    I have been posting already. But never really introduced myself. I started my flock about 7 months ago with 6-8 month old hens. I got 5 of them. They morphed into 8 hens at one point and then had a stray dog take two of my favorite ones from me. I recently had to cull a sick bird that was...
