  1. Rivendell Chick

    Favorite Pullet caught eating freshly laid egg out from under the layer hen! :(

    My flock just turned six months old today - most are laying with two that began at 18 weeks. Only one I'm sure isn't yet is a partridge cochin that is more slow to mature than her flockmates as a heavy breed. I went out a bit early to close them up tonight and was excited to see one of my...

    Mystery "rare assorted" chick - Cream Legbar or some kind of Egger?

    This pretty little girl came from Hoovers and I've been thinking she was an egger of some sort, perhaps Prairie Bluebell. She's looking a lot like a Cream Legbar though with her overall coloring and little crest, but I know Eggers can have crests too. She is the most petite in my flock of...

    Blue Andalusian?

    This pretty girl is 7 weeks and was an solid black chick when ordered as part of a rare assortment from Hoovers. I thought Midnight Majesty Marans, but as she gets more silvery I am wondering if she is actually a Blue Andalusian? Largest of my girls except one Marans, very friendly with me and...

    It was a stormy, stormy night...

    One of the silver linings of quarantine for our farm was being able to be home all spring to start chicks - ours arrived peeping loudly on Good Friday :) We just moved them into the new coop we have worked hard on for several weeks, but the storms arrived before we could roof the run, so they...

    Cochin? Brahma? Roo or Hen? 5 week chick with legs for days...

    This is Brownie - 5 weeks exactly when this was taken. She/He looks like a Project Runway chick with long legs and the perfect pose. I thought for sure this was a Cochin as a chick, now I'm wondering if she is a he, and a dark Brahma? Neck feathers coming in now and look coppery. This was the...

    6 week chick with watery stools, some lethargy - need advice

    One chick from my flock that turns six weeks tomorrow may be in trouble. Stools increasingly watery, almost completely liquid this morning. Still trying to eat and drink so far, slightly lethargic. The chicks were ordered from Hoovers via Tractor Supply, and since I did not know a vaccination...

    Stressed chick comong out of the brooder

    My 5 week old chicks have been brooding inside and will be moving to their new coop and run in a few days. I thought it would be a good idea to bring them outside on a warm (but not hot) over cast day to start acclimating to life outside the basement bathtub... Everyone enjoying a safe space...

    Hello! First chickens - need help with IDs :)

    You can call me Meg :) 1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've been studying/researching/learning for about 4 years, finally took the plunge to become a chicken mama this spring. The "shelter in place" in my area made it a lot easier to clear other things from the...
