The first picture is of the four that I believe are pullets. The last two pictures are of the one that I believe may indeed be a cockerel. Right now, I have them in the front room of my coop. Last year on a whim because I thought they were cute. I ordered six white crusted Polish chicks, one of...
I purchased pullets. I purchased pullets from the same hatchery last year, white crested polish and received a rooster. Just wondering if I received another roo.
The chick in question has nowhere near the leg feathers as the other four. Seems to stand more upright. Even the comb doesn’t seem to be as well developed as the others. Do I just have a slow developing pullet or did I get a cockerel slipped into my pullet order. I know it’s early but any...

I wanted to post pictures of my three week old white crested Polish chicks. Before I purchased them, I tried to find pictures of baby Polish chickens and didn’t find that there were many on the forum. They are so stinking cute. I can’t believe after having chickens for 13 years this is my first...
Was just doing my morning, but check on my chicks that are two weeks old today. Everyone was fine, but the tiniest one appears to have diarrhea. After I cleaned her up, I took another photo and then placed her in the brooder and she seem to be straining. I don’t see a blockage. What should I do...
This mystery chick arrived instead of a blue cochin (not an add to the shipment kind of thing). 13 days old. Bare legged and looks like a pompom on top. Any and all guesses are welcome 🤗.
Anyone have any ideas what breed of chick this bare legged chick might be? Received as a purchased blue cochin. When I called AV Hatchery with the question. I was told that sometimes through breeding some Cochins don’t have feathers on their legs 🙄. I won’t be purchasing from this hatchery again...
I got these blue cochin chicks, born on the seventh pick them up first thing in the morning on the ninth from the post office and in doing a butt check I noticed straight away. This one chick had an issue there’s a red bump under her anal. What is this? Is it some thing that happened during the...
I recieved my blue cochin chicks by mail this morning 3 out of twelve have no feathers on their legs are they not cochin?
They have been in the brooder for two hours now and all 12 chicks are doing well ❤️.
My first EE... I am posting pictures of what I think might be a Roo, but will be very happy if general consensus is pellet, (just getting use to the idea that one of the 6 light Brahma pellets is a Root)
And now the two others
It just seemed like the one I think might be a...
Violet ,my Blue Cochin, has been setting on shipped eggs for 24 days now and it is becoming pretty clear that they are not going to hatch. Believe me not through any neglect on her part. I plan to remove the eggs tonight and replace with ceramic eggs. I have ordered the first available cochin...
Today is day 22. Still no signs of anything happening. How long should I give shipped eggs under a Broody before I give up on them. Actually 8PM last evening made the full 21 days
ok new at this .... very new .
Violet is my lovely Blue Cochin (as sweet as any chicken could possibly be) upon becoming
broody for the third time in a year I decided to purchase cochin eggs on ebay. We received
16 and I felt that was too many for her to cover and after combing through the...
On July 6th I noticed that one of my 8 week old Blue Cochin chicks had a limp. I had been in the process of introducing them to my 10 week old Light Brahmas and assumed that she had some how injured the leg and I kept her and her flock mates separated from the bigger chicks.
To my horror she...
I have a question about feeding yogurt to chicks. I make my own yogurt from fresh jersey milk, unpasteurized. Can I feed that to my chicks, who are now a bit over 2 weeks old, or do I need to buy the pasteurized version from the store. Also should the yogurt be served from the fridge or...
I am a newbe and ordered my light brahmas from Mt Healthy Hatcheries for a 4/28/10 hatch and shipment date. The customer service people were always very nice and helpful. But yesterday was one of those days were if it could go wrong it did.
We notified the Post Office that the chicks were on...
