12 weeks old. Thanks for your help!

Columbia Heights - technically, no...HOWEVER...we had chickens there for several years (as did others). City council took it up several times and the general consensus was - work it out with your neighbors. Ours were all ok with it so we were good to go. Mounds View - the limit is 8...

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've got a 10 week old EE that I'm hoping is a pullet but I'm not quite sure. Please help! Thanks

We've got 2 Easter Eggers and a Barred Rock. They're about 5 weeks old. Thanks!

I had the same experience with mine. I "pecked" her back a couple of times with my index and middle fingers. I tapped firmly (not too hard) on her head a couple of times when she started trying to peck me and she'd leave me alone after that. Otherwise I'd pick her up and carry her around with me...

Thank you. I'm sad because I can't keep him :( I'm going to hold out a little longer because the comb is still yellow. I'm not sure why their combs showed up pink in the pictures, none of them are even a little bit pink.

My birds are 9 or 10 weeks old except the speckled Sussex who is 7 or 8 weeks. Can you help me with genders please? I think the 3 older ones are girls but I'm not sure about the Sussex because of the bigger comb. Help please! Thanks Speckled Sussex RIR, BR , and EE BR

We've got four, all different breeds. It turns out it was our EE. I found a brown one yesterday, so now we've got 2 layers at 5 months! We must be doing something right!

I'm so excited! It's tiny but awesome! I was surprised because they're only 4.5 months old, but there it was when I went in to change their water! I think it was Stampy, our buff orp. Her comb got really red recently. Bask in its eggy glory!

Has anyone else seen this? Finches are taking my chickens feathers off the ground. It's kind of funny because the girls get all riled up and defensive, but I can't figure out why the finches are taking them or what they're using them for. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks :)

Updates: Almost 8 weeks Barred Rock has pretty round tail feathers. EE pullet and SL Wyandotte. Buff Orp SL Wyandotte (facing the camera) doesn't have any comb to speak of. The area is red, but it's pretty flat. She's just got a little "pimple" thing. None of their wattles...

My 6 week old barred rock developed a bump on her right nostril today. It doesn't seem to bother her and there isn't any mucous or drainage. She's acting normally otherwise and she seems happy. Any ideas what it is? What should I do?

OK.. I'm a little embarrassed, but I got my dates mixed up. They're actually 5.5 weeks in these pictures. They'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. Does that change your opinions?

Back row: Brownie (short for Miss Brown Chicken, she's an EE) Front row, left to right: Lucy (SL Wyandotte), Batman (Barred Rock, she's a girl, but DS insisted...), Stampy Longbeak (Buff Orpington)

Very cute! I bet it was fun

Take a look at this: http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=17568.0 Regarding the ceacal poop - My girls have more of an orange/brown shade to theirs. Edit: The link has chicken poop pictures, just a warning it's kind of gross...
