Hello,
Hoping someone can tell me if these six week old chicks are Roo's or Pullets? The Buff Orpington sit on my lap and is super friendly. Not at all like my other chicks.
Just saw this, baby is in a seperste copp with mom and siblings the same age.
What do I do? I have vetericy plus, do I wash the wound and then spray? What would cause this? It's under her wing.
What gender do you think these 12 week black copper maran chicks are? They have more red in their combs and wattles than my other chicks the same age do.
Thank you for your time!
Help, broody hen hatched five chicks but the last one (has piped) she's not consistently sitting on. She gets up and teaches the new babies to forage even though the food is right next to her and the eggs. I can hear the chick and it has piped but I'm worried about it. It's hot and sunny 85...
Help, new broody momma hatched 5 chicks and one has piped but is still not hatched. I can hear it and she's not sitting on it consistently. It's 85 degrees and she is showing the chickw how to forage. What should I do?
I received a bunch of fertilized eggs to go under my broody hen. I have no idea what breeds they are or if it's too soon to tell. Especially the black one. Any guesses?
I think my chicken got pecked? It's my first incident. What do I do? Should I seperate her? Seperate the offender if I find her?
Thanking you in advance! Any advice greatly appreciated!
I got this beauty at IFA, she is 7 weeks old. They said she is a Olive egger but she doesn't look like the olive eggers I've seen before. Also do you think roo or hen?
I just love this group, such great information. So thank you!
Hello,
Both of these are Black Copper Marans bought at IFA. They are 7 weeks old. One sees to have pointier feathers. Any guesses of whether they are hens or roos? Thank you for taking the time to look.
I've started to notice my Easter Eggers both are just starting to get some pink to their combs.
My other chickens the same age aren't. I have cream legbars, rhode island red, sexlink, and blue laced red wyandotte. I'm new to all of these breeds and they are all 7 weeks. Is it possible I have 2...
I got this chick at IFA, she's almost 4 weeks old. I asked for a Red Laced Wyandotte and I think she's it but since I'm new to this breed and I bought eight other chicks I'm not sure what one she is!
Thank you for your input!
Imagine my heart attack I almost had when I discovered my chickens beak!
Thinking it was blood and running around franticaly counting chicks and looking for injuries, I saw her run into my beloved blackberry patch and proceeded to eat the first coveted ripe berries!
It's a good thing she's my...
