Ok, here are mine from Meyer. They have a little more color now as these were taken just before the site moved. Unnamed rooster (yes he was wanted) Hazel Blue Piper (My favorite! She loves to be petted and to sit on my hand.)

@pioneerchick816, yep mine were chipmunks too, and one is a male. They're about 5 weeks old now too and those two have crest feathers. So cute! My other two: one black with feathered legs, one blue with muffs and a beard. My two welsummer crosses do look like kategreen's chick, except with...

Does anyone have pics of a Meyer legbar x welsummer cross? They say in their magazine that they have two different lines, one is legbar x welsummer and the other is maran x ameraucana. I think I have two of each and I'm trying to see what my male might turn out to look like.

Hi everyone! I recently ordered 3 OE pullets and one cockerel from Meyer. About a week ago I was able to identify the boy. He's one of the brown chipmunk ones, he has a single comb that at 3 weeks is very prominent. He towers over the others. The other brown also has a single comb while the...

Most of mine lay blue, or extremely pale green. Also wondering if the chicks will look EE-ish. I've always had EEs but just ordered OE hens and a roo.

What would this cross create? *From hatchery stock

For those of you that got your EEs from a hatchery order... did you end up with either an unexpected male, or an extra chick in the order that ended up being a male. I think I have the second one.... at 4 weeks old, I believe I'm seeing the start of 3 rows on the comb of one of my EEs. I ordered...

Here are my 3 EEs at just a few days old. The other 4 chicks are RIRs and Welsummers. Here they are at nearly 3 weeks old. Yes I am impatient on waiting to see what colors they turn out to be. I ordered 2 EE pullets and the hatchery sent 3, so I'm kinda prepared that one is a male...

Wow, you all have some very pretty EEs!! Here are my newest three. The other 2 pairs are Welsummers and RIRs. The hatchery sent an extra EE, which makes me think one might be a male, but I'm a little excited at that thought. Roos are so pretty and I already have 3 other EEs that I would finally...

Does the line on the head have to be continuous on females, or can it be broken a bit? I have 2 RIR chicks that are 3 days old and they both have a broken line down their head

Thanks everyone! I'm so happy with them!

So this was my first time ordering chicks in the mail. I've bought from local stores and had a hen hatch them before, but this was completely new. I thought I did every thing right though... I called the post office ahead of time to make sure I knew what they typically did with delivering...

So I have ordered 6 chicks from Chickens for Backyards. They ship is a couple of weeks. What should I expect? The site says that the post office will likely call me when the chicks arrive, is this correct? What has been your experience with ordering?

I'm in the market for a new batch of chicks. I really only need 3, but I plan to buy 6 and get 2 of each breed that I want. I'm looking for RRs, EEs, and a really dark egg layer. I've checked online at several different sites and either the breeds I want aren't available right now, or I have to...

So where do I start? I've never seen one molt like she's doing. She hatched chicks in August and seemed to be molting around that time or soon after. As she moves about, bits of feathers fall off. This first picture is what the feathers look like as they begin to fall off. Her lower back is much...

I have an EE hen that has been a bit lethargic lately. I have her separated now inside the coop, in a box with a heat lamp. Only thing she seemed interested in this evening was bread. Yesterday her crop was full though, and it did seem like she had eaten some sunflower seeds and food today as...

I should also add that we found out today that this chick is definitely a hen. She had an egg in her box today... Still unsure about the legs. They still seem weak/uncoordinated, but she headed straight for the oyster shells when I let her out today.

Wow, it seems like such a long road, but it's just been about a month and a half! Picking up from my last post: The chick continued to progress and was able to get out for exercise within a few days. However, within a few minutes of being turned out, I noticed something was not right. The leg...

I finally got the Hypericum in, but I'm wondering if I should hold off on using it. My chick in question has been making steady progress everyday, and can now stand on both legs. Walking is still uncoordinated, but it can get to where it needs to in the brooder hutch. Everyday it is able to...

Correction: She's how putting weight on both legs. That last post was from what someone said they saw when feeding her this morning. (I'm not able to check on her all throughout the day). This evening, she's definitely putting weight on both legs and is able to place them. She's stomping around...
