    Broody Hen

    Hey y’all! I’ve got a very angry 10 m/o Speckled Sussex that is exhibiting some seriously broody behaviors (growling at me when I check the nesting boxes, puffing up, “pancaking”, and a naked brood patch). Assuming she reliably sits for the ~21 days needed to hatch (we do have a handsome...

    First Egg!

    We finally, after picking up a pair of Appenzeller crosses to flesh out our flock a bit, received a first egg! Our other pullets are far too young still (~14 weeks) but our older pair are roughly 18-20 weeks and one of them has decided to finally lay an egg today (and in the box, no training...

    Submissive Squat - Eggs Soon?

    We picked up a pair of pullets to add to our younger flock a couple weeks back, estimated ~14-16 weeks of age (closest estimate we have!). This puts them around 17-21 weeks of age, as of now. Noticed today when doing a once-over on Licorice, our black EE x Appenzeller cross, that she has...

    Six Little Chicks

    Thought I’d formally introduce my modest flock of 6. 3 Speckled Sussex, 3 California Grays. Expecting all 6 pullets but one of the SS is looking suspiciously like a cockerel! We’re hand raising them to be as friendly as possible and exposing them (slowly) to the various hustle and bustle of...

    Roo? Hen?

    I have a trio of Speckled Sussex chicks and at around 3 weeks I’ve noticed one of the 3 is showing a much larger and pinker comb (#2). They are the most confident of the bunch and biggest by a fair margin. I know it’s VERY early to tell, but I just wanted some fun guesses as to the gender of...

    New Here!

    Hey guys, I’m so excited to finally join the BYC family! A good few years ago I raised some chickens on an old property of ours, but we ended up having to rehome them when we moved into a more suburban area where we couldn’t keep them. :hmm I’m finally back on proper property again (WA > TX...
