    Anconas - please say pullet not cockerel.

    I have a clutch of anconas and RSLs I'm raising up for a friend (6 anconas and 5 rsl). They are somewhere between 5 and 7 weeks (came from the feed store middle of April) and I have two anconas that I'm afraid may be little hes instead of little shes. Can anyone help me out (sorry the pictures...

    Exchequer Leghorn or Ancona??

    I bought these chicks from the feed store a few weeks back and I'm raising them up for a friend. They are about 5 weeks old at this point. I bought them as Ancona chicks but looking at pictures online just now I'm wondering if they may be Exchequer Leghorns? Or do both breeds look really...

    Egg sizes/types from Red Sex Link

    We have one RSL hen (Red Star) from My Pet Chicken who is approaching two years in age. She is firmly on the top of the pecking order (and always has been no matter how often or how much we add to our flock) to the point of being somewhat of a bully at times. The thing I love about her though...

    Looking for a breeder/hatchery for less common breeds

    I'm looking to add ducks to our backyard poultry for the first time this spring, but I'm having a really hard time tracking down a hatchery or breeder. Where is a good place to order from? I'm looking for small order (5 or less, preferably 3) and rare breeds (in particular Ancona, Appleyard...

    Shipping fresh eating eggs with other items

    I've been doing some looking around trying to figure out about shipping eggs for eating (not hatching eggs) and it looks like it shouldn't be a problem so long as they are shipped fresh, fast, and well padded (right?) and the info on this thread was great for packaging...

    Ducks and Chickens together questions

    My husband and I were thinking of adding some ducks to our backyard flock of chickens and were curious about the implications of combining the two. From what I've read, they can get along together just fine but it's suggested they have separate coops. I'm just looking for some advice and info...

    Do I have to wait till spring?

    I have a small back yard flock of 3 girls, one RSL, one BR, and one EE. The RSL and BR will be 26 weeks on Monday and the EE is about 3 weeks older than that. Either the RSL or the BR (still haven't solved the mystery of the brown egg layer) has been laying for about 3 weeks with good large...

    Acclimating chicks to hot weather

    I have three chicks ([1] 5 week old and [2] 3 week old) that are quickly outgrowing their brooder. I'd say we've got another two or three weeks tops before they are done being closed in a box all day. The problem is (other than the coop isn't done yet) that it's HOT outside here! We are in...

    Growing like weeds! {Pics} and a question on feathers

    Appart from the massive upswing in food intake, I can visibly see our three little girls growing before my eyes day by day. Our two week old Barred Rock and Red Star are just starting to get their feathers in. It's exciting to watch the BR go from all black to getting little bars of white here...

    Ameraucana or Easter Egger and what color?

    We bought this sweet girl last a few days back (from here ) and were told she was a 2 week old Ameraucana pullet. I've been trying to figure out what color variety she might be, but I'm really struggling now to determine if it really is an Ameraucana or an Easter Egger. I really won't care...

    They're here! Pics & a question

    Our sweet babies arrived this morning and are all set in their brooder! Sadly, the leghorn didn't survive the shipping, but our Red Star and Barred Rock are working out a pecking order and settling in great! 1 quick question, when to do I take the paper towel off from the top of the shavings...

    This week, my family will be getting our first ever baby chicks (red star, barred rock, and brown leghorn), and despite all the research and reading I've done, I just wanted to check with you old pros here on the forums to make sure I haven't missed anything in preparations, plus I have a few...
