Happened for us today! 18.3 week old BR named Popper. So egg-citing!

Our first egg! 18.3 week old BR. It is so cute and little! Can't wait for my son to get home from school as it was "his" chicken that laid it.

So Fall hit hard here is Wisconsin. 90's two weeks ago to 60's and no sun. My girls are 16 weeks tomorrow. Maybe this is a stupid question, but wondering how much the weather is going to play in when they will start laying? Just wondering if this will set them back or not?

Congrats! Awesome video, thanks for sharing. :)

I'm in the waiting game also....15 weeks today. Got some nice red faces on a few but that is it! To think it could be another month makes me bonkers!!! Good luck to all those waiting.

Went to the store bought 3 dozen eggs. Took them out to the coop and gave the ladies a pep talk this morning. LOL Hoping these are the last eggs I ever buy, probably not, but a girl can wish right? Got my chicks around 5/5/15, 15 weeks today . Got some nice red faces on a couple, but no...

I have one that looks like the original posters. More white than dark and those long feathers on the tail. They could be twins. What did yours turn out to be? Bird is 15-16 weeks old.

Agree. Looks like a Welsummer to me also. :)

Great looking hen!!! The one that I was questioning is my favorite chicken! My 9 yr old begs for her to sleep in bed with him. LOL Such a sweetheart.

Thanks! Those tail feathers and red wattles and large comb compared to the others has this newbie stumped. Thanks for the info, I am just loving my chicken raising adventure. :)

Does this pic help of first chicken? Still think pullet?

Thanks for looking. The suspense of waiting for eggs is crazy! I knew I was going to be eggcited lol but I didn't know it would be like this. You guys pretty confident on the mystery chick (the first pic)? The comb/wattle is throwing me. Barred rock pullet then?

15-16 week old flock. First time chicken mom, so hoping the girls are really girls. I have nightmares of waking up to 16 crowing chickens. Lol Free mystery chick. Barred Rock? Hen/Roo Or BSL Roo? Dominique White Maran SLW EE EE's Buff Brahma Welsummer EE BA GLW BA Buff Brahma

Guess I might have to wait until this one crows or gives me an egg?!?! LOL Love this chicken either way. It is the friendliest chicken of the flock, family favorite. I just hope if it is a Roo is stays so friendly and the hormones don't take him over. :)

I am new to chickens but could they be a light Brahma? They look like my Buff Brahma's at that age. Love the feathered legs. Cute chicks!

Anyone else want to take a guess? Need better pics?

Thanks for looking. She/he has me so confused. All my other girls( BA, BB, SLW, GLW, Welsummer and EE) do not have the wattles or comb going on at all. The reddness of the face is throwing me off too. LOL It is so fun to see all the breeds maturing and the differences. :) Anyone else want to...

Chickens like to peck at wounds. I had one chick break a pin feather when they were coming in and the pecking began. I was lucky to have some Blue Kote laying around from my horses. I sprayed it on the bleeding pin feathers and they quit. It dyes the skin/wound blue. Chickens like to peck at...

Chicken newbie here. So this was our free chick from the hatchery. Barred Rock I am guessing? Thought it was a Dominique when it was a chick until you could tell the difference between the comb of it and the Dominique. 16 weekish in these pics. Thanks for taking a look.

I had great success with them yesterday with my newly arrived chicks. This is what I did, as I was taking them out of the box one by one to inspect them I would hold them in front of it before I put them in and gently touch their beak to it or tap it will my finger while they were watching me...
