Google searches are popping up with RIR and Easter Eggers that look the most like what we have! Thank you guys!

So I googled egg colors and came up with this: I'm thinking RIR and Andalusian based on colors? Need more info on what those chickens look like.

Greetings! I have been given 3 chickens. Our kids have named them: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mrs. Gorf, and Miss Sparkle We have eggs already. The chickens are reported as being 3 years old. Any idea of what breeds we have? I'm clueless. I've done turkeys many times but chickens are a new thing...

LOL That's awesome. I hope my flock will keep the squirrels and cats out of the yard (and my Garden!)

My hubby said one of our poults was kipping on his back the other day. No idea why. The others were starting to peep at it and prance around it a bit, as if to say: "Dude, what u doing?"

She never had any problems with them getting along. They hand-fed all the birds and thunked 'em if they bit... guess that taught them to respect humans...

My friend was raising ducks a few years ago and ended up with a free turkey. She gave the turkey the same food the ducks were getting and no problems. She is now raising 4 turkeys and no ducks. Her first turkey got over 35 pounds dressed out. from the photos, I would say it was also a Spanish Black.

Great post. I also have a 2 weeks old poult whose wing looks like this. Glad to hear it's normal.

So we're coming up on one week with our poults. They have already gotten feathers. I emailed the hatchery and they said that the poults were 2 weeks on Thursday. Some issues I have questions about: Feathers/Flying: Um...they are flying already?! Not out of the box (I am using an old...

What is the most entertaining thing your turkeys have done? What is the dumbest thing your turkeys have done? What is the smartest thing your turkeys have done? Can't wait to read your input! Thanks!

How often do you... Sift the poo out of the pine shavings? Add Pine Shavings? Change the water? Sift the feed? Add new feed? Give treats? Thanks!

We've got a pair of bourbon reds along with three other pairs (three other breeds) one of our bourbon reds is really a bully. he/she keeps taking food from other poult's mouths. Not cool. Sure hope it gets out of his system quickly.

I would like to know this too. We're in the Treasure Valley area in Idaho and getting similar temps.

We just picked up our first ever turkey poults. We ordered: 2 BBW 2 Narrangansett 2 Wishard Bronze 2 Red Bourbon How can we tell which are which? How long till we can tell what the sexes are? We are new to this whole "raising birds" thing. They will be meat birds (if that matters).

I went to D and B supply and they told me that I don't need to feed turkeys any kind of starter feed. Just give them the Game Bird Feed and they will be fine. Anyone else heard of this? We're gonna be raising 8 poults and I don't wanna spend $ on the dinky 5 lbs starter chick feed if I don't...

So I've never raised chickens either. I bought game bird feed but have had trouble finding starter mash. Is there something I can make from a recipe for them? Also, I bought chicken nipples (the kind you screw onto the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket) how would I teach the poults to drink out of...

We ordered 4 varieties of turkeys, due on May 10. They include: Bourbon Red, Narragansett, Bronze, and BBW. I am so excited and hope that we can get 5 raise-able/edible hens out of the lot. Never raised anything like this before so it will be an adventure! Any advice would be appreciated!
