Here is my NJ girl; I’m sure she is from a larger hatchery since she was from a very large and diverse order at the local feed store this spring. However, I don’t know if she is from Ideal.

@SloughiGirl Are both of the dogs in your profile pic sloughis? I have smooth salukis (and one Spitzhauben chick) :D

Why hello there!

Thanks for the help. Here is an update of the chick at almost 8 weeks. I think she still looks like a pullet. I can’t wait to see what color her eggs are.

Thanks!

Are there different size nipples? I ordered some from Amazon and they are a lot smaller than I expected them to be. I've been having the chicks drink from a bird waterer (like for finches or hamsters with the little ball-bearing). I'm hoping that they transition well.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to chickens and live in Southern California. I have 5 chicks which I hope are hens: Amerecauna (x2), Barnvelder, Black Copper Maran, and a Wyandotte I also have salukis. I've found this site very helpful in the last few months and so I'm excited to start...
