I got my chicks today - the rainbow assortment from Meyer. I got 7 chipmunk chicks. As far as I know they could be welsummer, light brown leghorn, speckled Sussex or Easter Egger?
They all have pointy combs. 4 of them are more black on the back and their feet and beaks are more pink than tan...
I got the ornamental layer assortment from McMurray and have a few I'm not sure about. I have ideas on some and no idea at all on a few!
In this order, I also got 4 speckled Sussex, 2 welsummers, and 2 NH reds but I'm 99% sure I've id'd those correctly.

I have a 4 day old Cochin chick that was being taken care of by its mother. I went out there tonight and the chick was cool and lethargic. Its crop is huge. I really don't think it's going to make it but I was wondering what I could try. I have it under a light and tried some sugar water. I've...
From what I've learned from previous posts, this one looks like boy to me.... am I right? I was supposed to get 5 girls, but I'll take a cockerel if that's what he is!
I'm holding out hope that I at least got one maybe two pullets in my straight run cochins from Cackle. The first pictures I uploaded were at 4 1/2 weeks old. I've now added 7 week pictures above the older ones.
1 - Large Buff
2 - Small Buff
3 - Small White
4 - Silver-laced -- first...
I have 3 day old chicks in a watermelon box on my glass porch. This is where I always keep my chicks but I've never had them this late in the spring. It is 96 outside today, and I'm scared it's too hot in the brooder. The thermometer says 94, and the light is off and has been since before lunch...
Well I got three BO pullets but I now think I have one pullet and two "pullets" (roos). Please tell me I'm wrong.
One of them has a healing after being pecked THROUGH a dog kennel I had them in in my coop (in which live two other 10 week old pullets, a year old hen, and an 8 month old rooster)...
I have a great chicken coop but now it's not big enough. Surprise! Doesn't this happen to most of us?! We have this old bus on my husband's grandfather's land, and I'm thinking we might try it out! It was my husband's idea, and it might just have potential... what do y'all think?
Clean it out...
My friend is new to BYC and can't post her pics. Can y'all check these out for her... I'm still really new at the gender thing -- especially the EEs. The reds are 12 weeks and the EEs are 8. Thanks!

I'm not really sure what breed these chicks are either, but I posted pics of them at a few days old and was told they might be EE's. I got them out of the straight run bin at TSC. Here is a picture of them when I got them:
Any idea on roo or pullet?

Thanks for your...
I ran by TSC to pick up some buff pullets they were holding for me and saw these two -- they were the only ones like this in the shipment today... I just liked them and had to have them... anybody know what they are?
thanks,
Ashlee
I'm new to chickens and have a lot to learn. I bought mine as chicks and have never had a problem. They are 8 months old. But I wanted a few more and found an ad for some "healthy" welsummers. I picked them up yesterday and talked to the seller about their health. I wanted to make sure that they...
My name is Ashlee, and I'm a new member -- obviously. I am new to chickens. After wanting them for forever, my husband finally built me a coop, and my 5 chickens are 8 months old. I bought them as 2 day old chicks from a locally-owned feed store who uses a good hatchery, and I have had no...
