    Moving mama and babies

    my hen and her 5 week old chicks currently sleep in a dog kennel inside my coop and all my other girls sleep on their roost bar. I know silkies don't typically go up high on roost bars, so before she had babies she would sleep on a very low ledge on the corner of the coop. Basically on the...

    What type of comb does this look like?

    Got these chicks today. Parents could be any of the following combination: buff brahma (roo or hen), golden laced Wyandotte (hen only), and potentially RIR (roo only). The other chicks have single row combs. But this chick has something else. Doesn't look like a pea comb really either. Thanks...

    Broody sebright

    I'm a new chicken mama. I have a broody silver sebright. We are thinking of putting a fertilized egg under her. How do I know if she's broody enough to put an egg under? Also, are sebrights typically good moms? I'm a little surprised that she's gone broody given what I found online. I've read...

    Hi everyone! So I got these chicks from TSC a few weeks ago. They're probably 4 weeks old now or so.

    Squat test

    Hi! Question: when you try to pet or place your hand on the back of a young chicken, is it pretty telltale if the chicken goes to squat rather than run it's a female? Regardless of breed? I have this one young chicken that I think might be a young cocker roll just because of the waddle...

    What breed do you think?

    What breed do you think this is? I was told at rural King it was an Easter egger but it had super tiny Tufts at the ears if any. I know that Easter eggers don't have to have beards or Tufts but a lot can. I don't even know if I would say this one has a beard or tuft. I didn't really get a good...

    Gender Help! 5/6 weeks

    Hi! Do you think these two look like cockerels or pullets? The larger comb/growing waddles are a little concerning. Added photos! One is a cream legbar and the other is a sapphire splash. Any guesses would be appreciated! I bought them at Rural King.

    What are your guesses for this silkie?

    I know this breed is notoriously difficult to sex. I just can't help but think it's comb is awfully wide, but it's my first time owning so I don't have much reference. I think this one is 5 or 6 weeks? Can't remember how long I've had her lol
