I'm nervous... have to take out two of my roos this weekend. One of them has become very proficient at crowing and the other one is following in his footsteps. But that's the nature of chickens in the city, I know. They're so young too, one is 12 weeks on Saturday and the other is only 9! I...
Thanks so much for all the help. I'll try to isolate them one at a time this weekend. A mixed flock sounds just fine to me. I'm only looking to have eggs. Can't have roosters, so all my roos will have to become dinner. I have four more that are all supposed to be girls, but they're only three...
Lol, your right, wrong chick. That one by the feeder wouldn't stop eating for me to get a pic lol. I need to isolate them one by one. Silly little things.
You're right, both white ones have a black spot on each side! A couple of them do have very feathered feet. Inside, outside, all around. Some have yellow legs under the feathers, some have black/blue looking legs.
It's this what is meant by pea comb?
Or this?
So at this age, if they're...
I bought nine chicks from a lady on craigslist. She mentioned Easter eggers, and maybe leghorn? She talked to me about pea comb and rose comb, but to be honest, at the time I didn't know what she was talking about... so I'm going to post some, a few at a time, to see what you all think. So any...
Yup, chemistry. How about you? The good (or bad, depending on your perspective) thing is that I found an incubator in the biology stock room... I wanna hatch now!
I hope you made a difference too! Our district didn't release school, and with five kiddos, I never have any spare sick days in the spring, so I couldn't go. My heart was with you all though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
I'm in Midwest city too! I just put in my permit application a couple of days ago. I've already got my five week old chicks in the coop. No idea when the inspection is. Hopefully it all goes smoothly.

Oh I can tell I'm going to get in trouble with this thread... I have five children and just turned forty. But my youngest just turned two last week and I'm getting the baby urge for just one more !

I'm a teacher. I used to be a research chemist, but decided to teach instead. This is my sixteenth year(I think). I teach advanced chemistry. I'd love to be a stay at home mom. I've got five children ranging in age from 21 to 2. We just can't do without my income.

Wow, this is an incredibly active thread! Which is good, I'm going to learn a lot!
I live in town, so am limited to only eleven chickens and no roosters. Some of you have really impressive flocks!
My chicks are growing like crazy. I figured I'd lose some, but all thirteen are thriving (yes...
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I live in Midwest city. I have wanted chickens for the past several years. Just picked some up on craigslist a couple of weeks ago. Then got suckered into four more from tractor supply, lol. I'm almost finished building their coop, I'll be applying for my permit...
