Hello everyone! So the chicks are now about 7 weeks old, and now it's looking like we may have an even split of cockerels and pullets in the Lavender Orpingtons (If this hold, I was right about the definite rooster, #4, and one of the pullets, #3). Charlie, the Wheaten Ameraucana is definitely...

Ah! Okay :D Thanks!

Beautiful bird! Is it yours?

Hi there everyone! Fair warning, I cross posted this on the silkie thread...just in case you're afraid you're seeing double :P So, these little sweeties are now about 5.5 weeks old, and I'm desperately in love! The problem is, they were sold to me as Lavender...buuuuuut....?? So my question...

Hmmmm...okay, good to know. I'm also posting this on the thread specifically for the color lavender. I'm really curious now LOL!

Thank you!! They were SO fluffy, to! This is my first time getting silkies from an actual breeder...it's crazy how different they look than our feed store babies did :D

Hi there everyone!! So, these little sweeties are now about 5.5 weeks old, and I'm desperately in love! The problem is, they were sold to me as Lavender...buuuuuut.... So my question is, do I have beef with the breeder? They look like blue splash to me, if the breeder is breeding correctly...

I do love all of those names, though!! I totally had a pet rat named Aspen :D

Good idea :D I want to name all of the Lavender Orpingtons French names, I'll need to look up some gender neutral ones :D And I can always rename them...it doesn't seem like the birds care one way or another LOL. The definite roo is probably going to be Jean Lafitte (or if I have multiple...

Awesome, thank you! Wouldn't it be great to get two Ameraucana pullets? <3 <3 <3 We'll see!!

Sweet! Thanks for the input, I'll hold off on the non gender neutral names, then :D Accept for Odette, and I suppose I could name the definite cockerel...possibly Jean Lafitte?

Hello there So I posted a few weeks ago about our lavender Orpingtons, and two Ameraucanas :D At the time, I was just starting to have some guesses about what sex they were :) Now they are all 6 weeks old, and it's starting to become pretty obvious in some cases, but not so much in others :)...

Okay, so knock on wood and fingers crossed, but it looks like they're going to be just fine :D Today is day four of the Corid, and every day they have gotten better and better. They're now back in with the others and holding their own. Eating great and very active. Of course still going to...

I wasn't aware of how slow Orpingtons are to mature before now, it's good to know :D Last year we got all pullets, with one surprise rooster (part of that margin of error LOL) and this year since we got them from a small local breeder they are straight run, so it's ALL a surprise LOL! It's...

Hmmmm....well, looking at them in person, I definitely see fluffy cheeks coming in on Charlie (the Wheaten), and I don't expect much from Scout (the black one) since he was sick from coccidiosis and is way behind everyone else on growth (used to be bigger than Charlie, now is much smaller). I...

LOLOLOLOL I'm so stupid, I can't believe I did that, the two are actually Ameraucanas! *sad trombone*... And okay, I'll just keep an eye on them :) With their attitudes I'm really starting to hope that I may have hit the straight run lotto LOL And thank you!! It's rainbow right now ^_^...

Bahahahahahaha! *Sad Trombone* Edited to fix, they're actually Ameraucanas! Sorry about that!

*Edited, because I'm a moron LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! And Edited again because outside of the lavender orpingtons, I really don't care about the breed of the others, I'll adore them no matter what ^_^ Low stakes in that no one is going to get eaten LOL #1 is Charlie, the Wheaten Ameraucana (This is what...

Okay, sounds great! I'm sure they'll be happy :) I appreciate all of your advice!!

Hello there! So I posted a few days ago about a couple of chicks. It resulted in me treating all of the babies with corid for coccidiosis, including the other chicks who did not get sick. So the two who were sick are really doing well, eating, drinking, pooping normally, and at about 70% of...
