    Hen or Roo Easter Egger?

    I have this Easter Egger who my daughter picked out at our local feed store as an older chick. When we got it back in June it was already about 2 months old so I suspect it is around 7-8 months now. All the chicks were suppose to be sexed females but they couldn’t fully gaurentee the sex of the...

    Recommended Feed

    I have a young flock, all my pullets are just coming into lay and I have a few cockerels. I also have a few 8 week old chicks I just introduced to the flock. What are your recommendations on feed for a flock of varying ages? Also which are the most nutrient dense? If it’s organic that’s a plus...

    HELP!! Sick Chickens

    Half my flock seems to be sick overnight. A couple days ago I found one of my roosters dead in the nesting boxes I had worked the days leading up to his passing so I’m not sure what his demeanor was like. Yesterday I noticed a few chickens looking lethargic, standing hunched with droopy tails...

    Scrambled? Ruptured?

    I received 2 dozen hatching eggs that were completely mishandled by the postal company despite the sellers best attempt to protect them. Almost half my eggs were crushed (the whole box was crushed despite a million fragile stickers slapped all over it). Anyway I tried to salvage the remaining...

    Mareks? Or something else?

    I have an 8 week old free range welsummer eating medicated chick starter who started out on Monday having difficulty walking. She was staggering/wobbling around and kept falling back on her hocks. I immediately quarantined her. By the end of Monday she was walking on her hocks and kept falling...

    Black Copper Maran, Cockerel?

    Still holding out hope for this one. My gut says cockerel but just wanted another second opinion from someone who knows the breed a little better than myself. He/she is 7 weeks old.

    Black Copper Maran 6 Weeks

    I’m guessing this little one is a cockerel but I wanted to get a second opinion before I rehome him. If he is indeed a cockerel I have someone who is eager to have him just making sure he is indeed a “He” and not a “She” before I give him away.

    Trader Joe’s Fertile Eggs

    For those of you interested in the Trader Joe’s fertile eggs and whether you can actually hatch chicks from them, I have 10 out of a dozen that have made it to lockdown!

    Supposed Easter Egger

    What do we think about this comb? This chick is supposedly an Easter Egger but I have yet to see an all white Easter Egger. I’m thinking it may be a Roo, keeps chest bumping my other Roo chick and I’m almost positive I heard it trying to crow.

    Pulley or Roo?

    I think I have figured out for the most part which chicks of my most recent hatch are more likely to be hens and which are roosters but I have 2 that have me stumped. The first is a barred Plymouth Rock and the second is a black copper maran, both are from a hatchery.

    Olive Egger, Male, Female, Too Early?

    I was really hoping this olive egger was a female but after looking at it today I’m having second thoughts. It is almost 3 weeks old.

    Barred Plymouth Rock Chick Sexing

    I’ve heard some people are able to determine gender of day old barred Plymouth Rock chicks based on the size and shape of the head spot and color of the legs. I’m thinking possibly roo?

    Day 22 One egg left, No pipping

    So far I have had what I believe to be a successful hatch from shipped eggs. 11 of my 12 eggs made it to lockdown (the 12th showed no signs of even being fertile). 9 of the 11 have hatched. Number 10 pipped but then this morning I noticed I couldn’t see it breathing anymore like I could the day...

    What breed are these?

    I ordered 9 chicks and of the 9 I decided to do 4 mystery chicks. I was able to identify two but the other two have me stumped. The first is a mostly black chick with a black beak and fuzzy legs. The feet looked yellow as a day old chick but are now turning more of a pale grey and at 3 weeks old...
