Bump!
Your chick looks like mine, Inthesticks. Any updates??
People keep saying its a partridge Cochin, but I've looked up the chicks on google images and I don't see them matching up. This little one has a lil flip in its feathers and is slow to feather out. How did everyone else's turn out?!
Sorry I forgot to mention. Just 3 weeks. I've never raised Polish chickens before. I don't see any red or much of a comb at all! Maybe that breed just has a small comb anyways.
No guesses anyone?!
I'm thinking Polish of some kind (maybe a buff?)
D'uccle of some variety
And Silver Penciled Cochin?
What do you think? And gender guesses yet?
Here are some updated pictures. The chicks are 2 weeks old and getting to their ugly phase! My Lavender Orpington died, which makes me really upset. A $20 chick that just died. Meyer said they would refund me. Also one of the four smaller chicks died. It just did not grow at all, failure to...
I went in the coop last night in the dark and slide a white paper towel underneath and then on top of roast. I was told if red streaks were on the towel than it is mites.
I am using vermox dewormer. It's a 1lb bag that you mix in with your regular feed.
Should I separate her from the flock...

My...
Hello everyone!
I have a new batch of chicks set up in my house. I've raised baby chicks last year and all were hens. This year we ordered Leann's "Adopt Me" Bargain from Meyer Hatchery. So we have a straight run mix. Every once and awhile, I'll hear a baby chick sounding like a songbird! Quick...
Hi all! I've purchased this assortment (grab bag) from Meyer Hatchery this last Monday (3-9-15) and have been trying to figure out what breeds I've received! I have purchased a Lavender Orpington (the easiest to identify) and a Welsummer (I might have a guess?) I would like to know if we managed...
I received my first ever batch of chickens from Meyer Hatchery a few weeks ago. All chicks arrived alive and healthy. I need to take this week's baby pictures, but I will post what I got. The first photo is when they were just a few days old. The next photo is when they were almost 3 weeks old...
