Thank you everyone!

Haha yes! I just want it to be a nicer chicken/falcon/eagle! Its not mean to the other chicks, just hasnt warmed up to us yet. :-(

Thats what my daughter says too! She actually calls it "the eagle". Its changed so much in color since we bought it home.

Can anyone tell yet if I have an easter egger roo? He/she is very hard to get pics of, wont let me hold it, runs away, and the only one that just refuses to eat out of my hand. It is about 8 weeks old.

I did a bit of research online yesterday on breeds and such, and then went to the feed store to see what they had. The only bin with ducks was that of the Pekin, and the lady at the feed store was surprisingly helpful and knowledgeable. I bought home two pekins and plan on housing them with my...

This was SO helpful! Thank you so much.

Would it be possible to sex these little chicks at approx. 2 weeks or still to early?

Hi! I have 14 chicks between 5 and 6 weeks old. They are outside and doing wonderful. I am interested in getting a couple ducks but have not a clue about raising a duck. Can they be in the same coop and area as my chickens? At what age can they go out? How do I tell the sex of a duck...

Thanks for your help!

I sure hope so! Thanks.

Between 5 & 6 weeks.

Need some help from someone more experienced...are these pullets? The barred rock I am thinking is a roo. Help!

Here are some of my barred rocks. This one is becoming so sweet and friendly. I still havent found a good name as im unsure if its a roo or hen. Hoping hen! This one we call J. I think hes a roo. Hes too funny to watch strut around, with a barely there tail and messy feather growth!

Quote: Why and how do the farm stores have signs on individual bins of chicks saying that they are Rhode Island Red, or Araucana, or various others if they are not? I also got chicks out of a bin labeled Araucana, come to find out they are NOT, they are easter eggers. Which is fine, I am...

I was told this chick, who is about 5 & 1/2 weeks old, is a Rhode Island Red. After reading alot of the threads and breed questions on here about people who think they have a RIR but actually have a Production Red, Im starting to wonder about this one.

Well, I checked on her an hour ago and she was happily running around with the rest of the girls! Mustve just needed some extra rest from a long day of pecking the ground haha! I'll continue to keep an eye on her. Thanks for all the advice.

Quote: I am using the recommended bedding and starter feed from the farm store where we bought the chicks. I certainly hope she IS just lazy, because she's one of the friendliest, laid back chicks of the group. We've really gotten attached to her! I am going to bring her inside to observe her...

Quote: I have 11 other chicks. Ive been fortunate to have a good flock, I haven't observed any other chicks picking on her or pecking at her, she has just always seemed a bit lazy, but yesterday she seems even more so. I tried massaging her throat yesterday, nothing came of that. I might...

I have a flock of 12 chicks of mixed varieties. Between 5 and 6 weeks old.One of them is a RIR, and from the beginning, shes slept more than the others. In fact, we call her Naptime. Shes very very friendly and doesnt make much noise. Well yesterday it seemed that she wasnt eating well, or...
