Hi!
So, my siblings and I share a phone.
We probably have thousands of pictures.
We’ve gotten to a point where the phone is fully out of storage, and even deleting all the random pictures of someone’s finger or shoe isn’t really making a difference.
They want me to sacrifice my chicken pictures...
One of my friends hens hatched 2 chicks this Summer.
Are they both cockerels?
They are 19 weeks.
No crow, no egg from either.
Here’s the first one:
Here’s the second:
If there is a girl, I’d suspect the second one. It made a different noise when I picked it up.
Incubating chicken eggs.
It is day 22. Most of the chicks hatched yesterday. But I haven’t seen any action from this guy, yet.
Notice the weird dark patch in the air cell. Also the dark, detached looking spots inside.
Has this embryo died?
Hey guys,
Interesting comb question.
I bought 2 GLW day-old chicks from TSC.
They are about 20 weeks now.
Both are indeed, GLW, but one of them has a single comb.
How is this possible.
Might she not be pure bred?
First two pictures are the rose comb one. And second 2 are the single comb.
This is my little Sapphire Gem chickie.
She/he is only 3 weeks old, so I TOTALLY get it if it’s too early to tell. I was just wondering if y’all had any guesses!
Hi,
This is my first time incubating.
I have used 7 broodies, now, so I understand timeline as far as setting, candling, and hatching goes, but I have other incubator questions.
Anyone who can, or wants to help, is welcome!!
Getting started:
How much does rotating the eggs while storing them...
Hello all, from TheChickenGirl16!
I’ve been wanting to do this for some time now, and am finally getting around to it!
Time is precious around here, so I can give no guarantees on how often I can post, but will try to make it as often as possible!
I would love to here from y’all too!
These are my friend's chickens which her broody hatched.
She was asking me, but quite frankly, I have no idea…
I’ve got a suspect, but what do you think?

You know it, I know it too.
Keeping chickens is relaxing… But it also has its challenges and heartbreaks. The worst of these being losing our feathered friends.
This thread is for help, healing, and comfort from each other.
Please post pictures and stories of the precious ones you’ve lost...
Hey y’all,
In May, I bought 3 Leghorns.
By the time they were 5 days old, I knew this one was different.
Looks like she turned out to be Cornish Cross.
You can see right here, that she is already bigger than the others:
Here she is at 4 weeks old:
Here she is eating across from her “Leghorn...
I sold a 6 week old pullet to a friend.
She is going on 17 weeks now, and my friend is concerned that it’s a boy.
I’m pretty convinced that it’s a girl.
What do y’all think?
This is the only picture she sent me:
I am the only one in my family who thinks that this fella is a boy.
What do y’all think?
Almost 17 weeks, (but not laying).
I’m mainly concerned about the short tail, shiny feathers, and wattles.
Opinions anyone???😁
Thanks!😊
I’ll post every picture I have of
him/🤞her🤞
I found this chicken sticker, and don’t have any girlies that look like this…. But now I kinda feel like I can’t live without one!🥰🤣🥴
Does anyone have a guess as to what breed she is?
Speckled Austrilorp?
Hey guys,
This is my darling Chippy:
His/her mama is Americana/x/NHR, and daddy is RIR.
Chippy is such an attention hungry dear….🥹(That’s supposed to be a far-away look🤣)
As a chick, I KNEW, or at least thought I knew, that it simply couldn’t be anything but a he. His comb was legit the side of...

Any opinions would be appreciated!
Thank you!!!!
Hello everyone!
I am raising PULLETS for a lady I know.
I’m handing them over to her tomorrow. But first I need to make sure I don’t give her any boys.
What are your opinions about these three?
#1
Pretty boy to the core. His name is Buttons.
#2
I guess this one’s a boy too.
#3
A little...
Just went out to check on my almost one month old chicks. Found this little lady. Is her leg broken???
She is limping, and doesn’t want to walk or stand. Other leg looks fine.
I have a video, but can’t figure out how to upload it.
Any help is appreciated!
