    Silkie pullets or cockerals? ( plus cute pics:)

    These are my silkie babies that I have wanted forever. Over the moon with them! Hubby got them as a Mothers Day gift the week before on Star Wars Day-hence the names.(yes,I'm a big nerd;) All are a little over six weeks. One I think is definitely a roo ( Solo). Would love to hear what you think!

    Can anyone help me ID this pullet?

    My little Darth Maul (yes,she came to live with me on 'Star Wars Day') was supposedly a gold laced Wyandotte. She did have some red coloring when I got her,but now....nada. And her markings are very different from her silver laced Wyandotte sibling.(Her sib was also supposed to be a RLW,but I...

    Still need a heat lamp during the day or not?

    I have six chicks,4 silkies and 2 Wyandotte that are a little over 3 weeks old and are currently in my house. I've been using a heat lamp to keep them warm especially in the evenings. It's set to heat one side,so they can get away from it of they want to. However inside temp in my house is...

    Integrating newbies into an existing flock(and I'm a nervous wreck!)

    Anyone have tips to share on integrating new chicks into an existing flock? We have a flock of 'teenagers'- 2 naked necks (one is a roo), 5 Australorp (all are 8 months old) and a 2 year old RIR hen,who is the boss. We have new chicks-another 8-who are about 9 weeks old (5 brahmas,2 silver laced...

    Anyone want to play pullet or cockeral?

    So,we have a mixed group of brahmas, an Easter egger,and 2 silver laced wyandotte. I'm 100% sure there is only one cockerel in the brahma lot and I'm pretty sure the EE is a pullet as well. But the SL Wyandottes have me stumped. Anyone want to guess?

    Broody turken, maybe?

    My Fifi has never shown any interest in using a nesting box before. She'll just lay eggs wherever she feels like it. Today, for the first time, she used a box. She's laid an egg and is refusing to leave the box. Could she be broody? She's 7 months.

    Brahma chick with bald spots

    We have 5 brahma chicks that I believe are about 8 or so weeks old. Four are gorgeous little fluff butts, and then there is this one... I don't see any signs of mites or parasites. Eating, drinking and pooping normally and quite fiesty. I thought I read somewhere that cockerals feather more...

    Fifi's first egg!

    I'm a proud chicken mama, lol. My al6 month old turken,Fifi (she's the turken in my profile picture) laid her first egg this week. Actually 2 eggs from her thus week, so she's putting her Australorp sisters to shame. They are all the same age and I think we've maybe gotten 1 egg from between...

    Australorp? Maran? Anybody? Help?

    Last September hubby picked up new chicks from Tractor Supply, but he doesn't remember what they were listed as, only that they were female. I've attatched a few pics-I'm going back and forth between australorps and marans (they had both).

    Introducing new roosters to the flock

    At the end of last summer, we bought chicks and ended up with two turken roosters in the mix. One stayed here with us, and has been a relatively quiet boy, with his fellow flock of 9 hens. The other rooster went to live with the person we had split the hatch with. Today she decided he's too much...

    One Cockerel or two?

    I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...

    Mystery Turken number 2

    We are still figuring out the genders of the turkens we bought back in September. With help from folks here yesterday we pretty much confirmed one white and black chick is indeed a cockerel, and three of the others are girls. We do have one other mystery chick that we are on the fence about. The...

    What breed are these chicks?

    We have some mystery chicks acquired the same day and place as our turkens. The only thing we know about them is that they are females. Pics are from last month and today. They are almost 3 months old.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 13 (3) What breeds do you have? Turkens and black chicks I’m not quite sure of yet. That’s why I’m here...
