    Kalmbach Henhouse Reserve?

    Hi all- My local feed store stopped carrying the feed I'd been feeding my girls (the Du-Mor 16% crumbles) and I bought some local-ish mill's pellets. The woman at the feed store said their chickens love it. My four laying girls almost immediately stopped laying. I went from 3-4 eggs per day...

    Elphie laid her first egg(s)!

    I’ve wondered about Elphie’s breed since I got her. She was a cute little chipmunk chick and I was told she was a Cream Legbar. It wasn’t long before it became apparent that she is not a Cream Legbar. But what is she? She came from a local feed store, which I believe bought from Hoover’s. For...

    How can I determine the pecking order?

    I’m still a very new chicken tender and I’m curious about pecking order. I have two age groups; four birds who are 14-15 weeks and two who are around 10 weeks. I’m integrating them at the moment and it’s clear that the little ones are beneath the big ones in their eyes. Two of the bigger ones...

    Same chicks, different day

    I promise I’m going to stop with this soon. However, someone mentioned something that sent me down a Google rabbit hole. These two are five weeks old now and were both bought from the same brooder at a local feed store. I think I deduced that they came from Hoovers. The feed store had been told...

    Newbie wing question

    I was watching my five week olds outside playing and noticed something. Three of the four were holding their wings low, with the tips under their tails, kind of over their vent. The fourth had hers held with her wingtips above her tail. Is this significant? Pictures attached. The brown one is...

    And now the other one.

    So, I have what I am fairly sure is a three week old Cream Legbar pullet. I posted about her being a jerk last night and people were suggesting she was either a roo(don’t think so) or a turkey? Uhhh, don’t think so. I’m still fairly sure she’s a female Cream Legbar. . . Thoughts?

    Question about a baby legbar(?)

    Hi all- I bought four chicks from my local feed store a week ago. They told me two were cream legbars and the remaining two a black austrolorp and sapphire olive egger. I have no question about three of them. One is clearly a cream legbar, and the other two seem to line up with the descriptions...
