This little guy came from the assorted bantam bin at TSC, he’s 4.5 months old. What breed do y’all think he is? Some sort of game breed I’m assuming? He’s tiny. And quick. Also, his name is Twizzlers :D
I bought an assortment of chicks at TSC a few months ago and this one was labeled as a Sapphire Gem, which it obviously is not. I have another that looks exactly the same. Thoughts on breed? Maybe Welsummer? They are 7 weeks old.
PS- Excuse their messy holding box while their pen is cleaned out!
Got some TSC specials today, were sold as Rhode Island Red but upon closer inspection once I got them home and in the brooder, I’m noticing white wings and no dots by the eyes (which I though RIRs had). What do you all think?
Was told they’re about a week old.
Hey all,
I've got a lethargic chicken, standing around by herself with her eyes closed. Brought her in to get a better look, her crop felt pretty hard and I thought maybe it was impacted so I have a couple drops of vegetable oil and massaged it. While sitting here holding her I can hear a...
I acquired this chicken from a lady that takes in chickens that can no longer be cared for in addition to raising her own flocks. She usually gives one of her "take-ins" to customers that buy several birds from her as a freebie (I got 3 EEs from her). She knows nothing of her history- she's had...
I am getting this chicken from someone and they aren't 100% sure it's a pullet. It's an Americana, possibly mixed with Black Copper Maran? I love me some barnyard mixes :celebrate What do you guys think, pullet or nah?
Hi friends! I have a couple young chickens that I'm on the fence about whether they're males or females. Can you help? They're EE's, both about 7 and a half/8 weeks old. I was under the impression that red (or in this case copper?) patches on the wings indicates roo in EE's but this one's (the...
These chicks are 4- 4 1/2 weeks old....all Easter Eggers except Dolly- she's a French Black Copper Maran. Just for fun......guesses on which ones will turn out to be roosters?? I'm thinking Dolly looks awful roostery with that giant comb....:barnie
I have an abandoned egg at Day 22, it's chirping and making a soft scratching noise. Mama went off with the other chickies. I don't have an incubator, what can I/should I do?? Help please!
So I just got two pullets (approx 5 months old) to add to my current flock of 8. I have them in a chicken tractor separated from my other girls for now. My problem though, they don't seem to know what they're supposed to do? They've always been kept in pens with tons of other birds as far as I...
Hi all! I'm a new chicken owner, just got my firsts about a month and a half ago. I have 8 total- 5 golden comets and 3 easter eggers. They all have southern lady names (since we're in Tennessee): Beatrice, Josephine, Miss Mabel, Henrietta, Ida Mae, Blanche, Cricket, and Ethel. I LOVE them! I...
