I kept thinking she was a Campine, but it doesn't look like she has a single comb. Her comb looks more like a rose comb. She has slate gray legs.
Here is her comb.
Here is an older pic that shows her legs.
She is approx. 19 weeks old. We got her from Atwoods. I believe they get...
My chickens just turned 18 weeks on Friday. I am almost out if there chick starter. Do I start layer feed now, or do I wait until they actually start laying?
We have hot summers here in TX. I have been using bucket watererers with chicken nipples. The outside of the buckets get hot and warm up the water. Is there a way to keep the water cool?
I have 3 California White chicks from TSC. They were all in the pullet bin. They are 3 weeks old. One looks suspiciously like a cockerel to me.
All 3 are pictured here. Notice the one on the far left has a noticeably bigger comb and he/she seems to already be getting wattles.
Here is a...

We bought them from Atwoods. They were shipped from Ideal Poultry. I was looking at Ideal's website and they do sell Buckeyes. They were from the red pullet bin.
I have 14 almost 3 week old chicks. We bought 6 more at TSC. The new ones are a week old. How do I introduce the younger ones to the older ones? How old do the younger ones need to be before I can put them with the others?
We bought 6 chicks at TSC on Wednesday. We were planning on giving one of them to my sister who already has 7 almost 3 week old chicks. Is it possible to introduce just one new chick to a preexisting group? If so, when and how? Also how do we go about introducing the the other 5 to our group...
of getting a rooster from the pullet bin when buying from a feedstore? I'm guessing that you are not guaranteed 100% to get all pullets. We currently have bought 20 chicks. 1 is going to a family member. I am worried about a few of them being roosters.
We have 14 chicks. I have named them all except one. All the other names are girls names from songs. The choices I have for my last chick are...

What are the 2 that are in the box?
Thanks!!
My hubby has been working on our chicken coop/run for the past 2 days. Here are a couple of pics.
We have it connected to our shed. Part of it is going to be enclosed with their nesting boxes. The other part is going to have chicken wire. It will have a metal roof over the whole thing.
