These are all from Meyer, hatch date of 3/27. I have a bunch of EE's that I'm pretty sure I know which they are, but the others I'm not sure about.
#1 - Barred Rock? White spot on head
#2 BBS Ameraucana?

Has anyone used the layer pellets from Walton Feed? Their label is very limited, listing only protein, fat and fiber levels (along with the ingredient list). It’s very affordable and I think my grown children may use it for their flock, but I am concerned with the lack of information on using it...
I've searched some of the other posts, but nothing seems to be quite what my hen is doing. I have 6 hens, all hatched last July 25. The rest of them are laying an egg a day, but the Partridge Rock seems defective lol. She's laid a few (maybe 3?) eggs with fairly normal shells (and this has...
I had chickens in Idaho but this is my first "winter" in CA with chickens and a new coop. In Idaho, I put plywood underneath corrugated metal for the roof, but here we decided to just use the corrugated polycarb panels from Lowe's without any underlayment. I noticed this morning (first cool...
I checked their wing feathering at 2 weeks and there was no black, so I didn't think there was any chance either was a roo, but want to double check....They are 7 weeks old.
I bought these all as sexed pullets from Meyer, but can't keep them all so need to start making some decisions on which ones. But I just wanted to make sure there are no suspicious characters among the bunch (I already think there is one...one of the Partridge Rocks). I'll upload the pics in a...
I have a few extra chicks than I can keep so I thought I'd post here first before Craigslist. I've got 2 GLW pullets that are 4 weeks old. $10 for the pair. I'm in Ventura CA. I will have a few more later, but am still in the process of deciding...
I posted pics of 2 mystery chicks I got from Meyer in the very long thread (ordered Buff Orpingtons, and got 2 other chicks instead). Unfortunately, one of the chicks died a couple days ago. I haven't heard back from Meyer as to ID yet, so am hoping as this chick gets older, maybe we can...
We actually finished the coop in May, but I just got my chicks this Tuesday. I thought I'd post a few pics of the construction and the finished coop. My last coop was a tractor design, so this construction was a lot different and it's built to never move! I found that looking at how others...
I don't have anything that's really standing out to me that any or them might be roos, but I really don't know enough to know for sure They will be 6 weeks old on the 16th.
After about a month of working on and off on our coop, it finally got moved into the yard yesterday! It was supposed to be a tractor - I got the shape/idea from another poster's photo on the forums - but it ended up being a little too heavy for easy moving. I still plan on moving it around the...
My chicks are 1 week old - I know I was sent one EE, 2 Black Australorps, one Barred Rock, and one brown egg layer mystery chick. I'm assuming the all yellow chick is the mystery chick and the yellow one w/ some greyish areas is the EE. Any ideas on the other yellow one? I got them from...
I'm a new member and have been reading and researching and am almost finished with my coop. I've been anxiously awaiting 5 chicks that shipped Wednesday - waiting for the PO to call when I saw our postman leave a package on my front step. He didn't ring the doorbell or anything, so I never...
