    Lets play a game- Pullet or Cockerel

    So I have 5 babies of different breads and I know it's still early to tell BUT I can't resist the attempt 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ They are are 6 weeks old. Two EE's, a Blue Australorp, Deathlayer and a silkie. I have a gut feeling the brown and black EE is a Roo due to combs and waddles and much bigger thicker...

    Broody sitting on eggs only one fertile 😕

    Hello everyone! I have a broody that was so determined and just wouldn't break that I decided to let her sit on some eggs. We have never let a broody sit on eggs. We have hatched using an incubator. She is an OEGB. So I only put 4 eggs under her as they were pretty big eggs from our other...

    New Coop build questions

    Broody 26 week old

    I have a hen that is 26 weeks for the last 3 days she has been consistently staying in the Nesting box. Some days she lays an egg other times she sits and no egg. I remove any eggs she lays within hours of her laying. We don't want her to hatch any right now. I have taken her out of the box...

    Polish-Pullet or Cockeral?

    Hi everyone! I know that this is probably to soon but thought it would be worth a shot. We only have one polish so I have nothing to compare with and have never raised polish. Unfortunately when we got it we got two that were days old but one didn't make it through the night. 💔 I have put...

    Is this normal for a Polish?

    Hello! We recently got two straight run Polish, they are 6 days old and seem so small compared to our other 6 day old chicks. We have never had Polish chickens and so I'm not sure if they do usually run smaller. My other question is we noticed that on one of them the wing feathers are different...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Help!

    Hello everyone! We hatched chicks that were various breeds and we had 4 that were the same as this one but looked different and crowed. This one has thrown us off and we have been unable to figure out if it's a pullet or Cockerel. I have not seen her crow and she runs from our Rhode Island red...

    Whats wrong with her beak?

    What could be wrong with my sweet cuddles? I did not notice this earlier in the day, did it just happen or maybe I missed it somehow. She is acting totally normal, I have seen her drink water and she has eaten treats no problem. I haven’t personally seen her eat her crumbles today but now that I...

    People food/Treats

    This is probably a silly question but I have real anxiety when it comes to giving things to our chicks, so I need to hear from you pros. I know you can feed chicks people food and meats. I have given my pullets and cockerals berries, watermelon and melons, eggs, rice, BOSS, and oatmeal. Not all...

    What mix are these?

    Hi everyone! I have a total of 12 chicks that are 10 weeks old. We hatched 8 and couldn't resist getting 4 more from our local farm store.
