Chicken math hit me and my husband hard at TSC the other day. We went in with zero intention to get babies. Then my husband said get 9. I said no and then we settled on six. We ended up with nine.
3 Rhode Island Reds (all pullets)
3 black Jersey Giants (straight run)
3 Barred Rocks (straight...
Hello!!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. But I’m back with an update since life has kind of chilled out of a moment.
Back story: I bought my first flock back in May of last year? Maybe? Around there for sure. I bought 10 altogether, but lost 4 after we moved them into their new coop...
Today I was surprised to find the very first egg in my flock!! I’m not 100% sure which of the ladies laid it, but I suspect it’s the one I previously thought was a Roo. It’s a speckled white light brownish color I think.
Any thoughts on the breed of the chicken who laid it? The reason I ask is...
I thought this was a female but the bigger it gets the more I think it’s a male. My other chickens are kinda poofy and big, this one is more sleek and slim. What do you think?
Here is an update of my girls. At least, I’m assuming they’re all girls. The four whites, I haven’t a clue on the breed. The other two are Saphhire Gem and Australorp. I’m guessing they’re around 12 weeks or so
Hello hello everyone! I hope you all are having a great day. I just thought I would do a little update on my chicks. We started out with 2 Leghorns, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 6 mystery chicks. (There was some mixed up at the feed store)
A two weeks ago, They were finally old enough to be moved...
I’m in central Kentucky looking for 4-8 week old Rhode Isalnd Reds or Leghorns. Females ONLY. I’m only looking to drive maybe and hour or so to pick up. I know this is a long shot but my two reds were killed and I would really like to have some reds back in my mix.
Thank you.
Hi!
Im looking for blogs, YouTube channels, IG accounts, etc that talk about chickens or homesteading. Facebook is the only SM that I’m not on.
Thank you!

These are my new chicks. I’m not sure how old. I’m guessing between 1 week and 2?
I’m not sure what some of them are. We are supposed to have 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 White Leghorns, 2 Amberlinks, and 1 Barred Rock, but I’m not sure about the other 3.
The two reds are Thelma and Louise
The two...
Hi,
My name is Terra. I am a mom of three. We just bought a house with 2 acres out in the country and we’ve decided to buy chickens. I’ve always been interested in raising chickens. I have some family who raise them and it’s always been a goal of mine to have my own. Four days ago we made the...
