    Chocolate Orpingtons???

    Exactly what I was thinking too, but she said both parents are chocolate and I saw them with my own eyes as well. I’m guessing I wound up with eggs from a different breed altogether.

    Chocolate Orpingtons???

    Looking for anyone with experience in chocolates! I purchased these cuties from a breeder as hatching eggs. They are supposed to be chocolate Orpingtons. Parents are both chocolate. Is it possible for all 5 chicks to be black at a day old? I was expecting brown chicks not black. Breeder says...

    Silver Laced Polish 4 week old chicks - need to see pics!

    I can do that, but I'd also really like to see what they are "supposed" to look like for future reference. They are by far the type that I was wanting the most and I don't want to have to make this mistake again if I could identify them easier next time. Guess I should have worded my post...

    Silver Laced Polish 4 week old chicks - need to see pics!

    Anyone have any pics of silver laced polish at around 4 weeks of age? I'm pretty sure mine are white crested black and not silver laced. :( They have feathers and they are all solid black, so just wanted to see what others look like at this age.

    6 week old Barred Rocks

    Of the 6 Barred Rocks in this pic, am I correct in saying that 2 are pullets and 4 are cockerels? The second from the left in the group of 4 lighter ones does not have as pronounced waddles but it still has more there than the 2 darker ones I believe to be pullets.

    Barred Rock chicks - 5 weeks - gender help please!

    New pics! There are 8 barred rock total. The Reds are supposed to be all pullets and so far I agree.

    Barred Rock chicks - 5 weeks - gender help please!

    3 are dark with combs that are very close to the head. 5 are lighter. Of those 5 they all have more pronounced combs but 3 of the 5 have combs that look more like they are getting color in them. Does this description mean anything? :)

    Need some advice on "pecking order"

    Mrchicks - LOVE your profile pic! I've got a flock about the size of yours - but they are all babies and several different breeds. I am dying to add a Silver Polish to the group, but was curious about your statement. Are Polish too delicate to go with a mixed flock? They are by far the most...

    Is a wire bottom overkill? Harmful to feet?

    We are constructing our new run this week. My husband wants to do a full hardware cloth floor/bottom in the run area (20'x20'). I was thinking a 2' apron or burying a foot or so of the side panels would be sufficient. I also didn't want to damage my birds feet, and I wanted them to be able to...

    Need help identifying chicks from TSC

    That's what they are calling production reds in most farm stores. I read several threads on here explaining the difference, and for my newbie mind it was a bit overwhelming. Evidently the REAL RIR's are not easy to find these days b/c they have been bred more for production by crossing in...

    Our Coop is Finally Finished!

    Do you happen to have an example of "poop boards"? We are in the process of refurbishing a storage building into a coop and this sounds like a great idea! Thanks!
