Got a couple better shots of our suspects in question. The first is a lavender orpington and the 2nd is a bantam of some kind, was supposed to be another lavender orpington but tractor supply employees... 😬 Anyone have any ideas if we've got pullets or roos?
I know these aren't the best pictures but does anyone have an idea whether we've got boys or girls here? We got them at Tractor Supply and they weren't sexed. The bigger one is a lavender orpington, the smaller one is a bantam of some kind. S/he was supposed to be another lavender orpington but...
We have 6 chicks that are about 6 weeks old and 4 that are a couple days younger. We've kept them separate for now just in case but we're wanting to move them all into one coop. The problem is that one of the 4 younger chicks is a bantam and is still tiny, we've named her Nugget. We didn't know...
We have 13 girls, 10 of them are laying right now. We have 3 nesting boxes in the coop and one on our back porch because they decided to lay in the corner there. They all want to lay in the same 2 boxes in the coop. If they can't lay in there, they jump our fence and lay in the neighbors yard...
Can someone explain why my RIR sometimes lays eggs with little speckles and sometimes they're speckle free? We only have one other girl laying and she lays white eggs. The two others who could be laying are both Ameraucanas so we're expecting blue eggs from them. Anyone have any ideas?? :hmm
We were told the breeds when we got these little cuties but now I can't remember. One was "for sure" an Ameraucana. But the others I can't remember. Any ideas?
We got these crazy chickens from someone who said they're Ameraucanas. We know they're likely Easter Eggers but we're wondering if they are boys? They're about 7 months old and we haven't heard crowing but they're so much bigger than the ones we know are girls. And they just look different . Any...
We picked up 5 new chickens yesterday. They're supposedly Ameraucanas. Can anyone tell the sex of them? They're about 3 months old. I'm thinking the little grey one is a hen and one of the bigger black ones too. The others, I'm not sure.
We are new chicken owners and can't tell if these two are male or female. They are about 3 months old. Both have bright red on their head and under their chins. Any ideas?
