First timer here! Our pullets (1 RIR, 1BA, 1GLW, 1SS, 1BR) are 22-23 weeks and we just got our first egg this morning from the black australorp!
We're so excited - had to share.
Any predictions on who will follow and how long we'll have to wait?
The suspense is killing me!!!
Hi all! I purchased 5 baby hens almost a month ago from our local urban farm store, and one (our favorite black australorp, Violet) is sprouting long tail feathers (see images). Any of you able to help me tell if she's actually a Rooster? If so, she'll need a new home, since rooster aren't...
New to raising chicks and need all the help I can get, and eager to connect with fellow Minnesota chicken enthusiasts! We have five chicks home today, one day old! Excited to be here. I've dreamed of this day!
Hi Y'all,
I'm new to this, so please forgive if I'm making newbie mistakes. I picked up my chicks this morning and have already had to clean a pasty butt. The same chick, a Wyandotte baby, is also self-pecking and pulling out wing fluff. Is this normal, if not, any tips on what to do?
Thanks a...
