My Wyandottes are 6 weeks old now. 6 of them I am fairly sure of their genders. 4 I'm still wavering on. 2 out of the 10 have single combs instead of rose and I think that is confusing me LOL Here are some pics...what do you guys think? I took pics with what I am pretty sure are a pullet (GLW)...

Just wondering if anybody else follows a primal or paleo style diet/lifestyle? I do, and my husband is inching closer to being fully, and it's a big reason why we decided to start raising our own meat and eggs. Well, that and we both just enjoy animals a lot and hubby grew up with chickens and...

*Pics added in post 3* I'm not sure if it's splayed or not. My chicks are 3 weeks old, but I got them as 2 week olds. I just noticed yesterday the smallest one has one leg that turns outward. She gets around okay, and goes to feed and water no problem and is bright and alert. I read the...

My chicks are only 3 weeks old, but I am seeing some very noticable differences in some of them. This one especially! I am thinking he's a HE? His comb is a lot brighter than all the rest...his feathers are coming in slower and he has like no tail feathers (which I ready on the Wyandotte sexing...

My chicks will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. I am really starting to notice a difference between some of them! I've read this is too early to sex them, but then I've also read that pullets start to get their wing and tail feathers sooner and the roos will have shorter/boxier wings at first? Mine are...

Got a few cute pics today while cleaning their brooder :) They are 2.5 - 3 weeks old now. I have a mix of GLWs and SLWs. Straight run so not sure of the genders yet! This one has lots of feathers already! I'm thinking that's a sign she's a pullet? I hope! Love how dark this one is The one...

I have 10 two week old chicks (5 GLW's and 5 SLW's), my first chicks! so exciting!, and I decided to let the dog "meet" them yesterday. She was fascinated! I got a quick pic with my phone, a few of my chickies were so brave LOL They seemed quite interested in her too. Any tips for training...

I picked up my chicks today :) I was going to go through a hatchery with a friend (you have to order 25 through the hatchery up here) but she backed out on me. So I ended up going through a local breeder instead, which I think I'm glad I did! She was wonderful and even gave me a care package...

March is still pretty winter-y here in Alberta (Canada, we are the province above Montana). My first baby chicks will arrive on Wednesday (10 Red Stars). I am keeping them in my porch in their brooder box for the first 4-5 weeks like recommended. However I read that you can let them outside if...

Just wanted to introduce myself! I'm 28 years old and live in Alberta, Canada. I just ordered our first baby chicks! My hubby grew up with laying hens and Red Stars were his favorite, and he said were easy to start with since I haven't had chickens before, so we went with those. We live in a...
