Along with my most recent acquisitions of birds, one thing led to another and we got quail. A few months ago we had 9 of them, but a raccoon got in and 7 either escaped/met their end. Of the two we have left, one is definitely a male. The other we are unsure of. We believe she is a she, as she...

We were pretty sure, but just wanted to double check. Thank you all very much

We got some Easter eggers from tractor supply this spring, and they were received/labeled as pullets. One of them started looking a bit different. They are a bit over two months old at the moment. Just wanted to double check before giving him away, as we already have a fully grown roo.

Hence the reason we have to clean it out twice a day. Poor little ones. You could definitely tell when the broosers weren't cleaned as much as they were supposed to be. Cornish rocks and the ducks were the absolute worst to clean. The ducks get water all in their bedding, and the Cornish rocks...

That manager does sound like a jerk. This year, at least at our store, the waterers were terrible. We were sent the twist on ones that have to be -ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY LEVEL-, otherwise they completely drain out into the brooder. They also sent us empty cans to put the waterers on, so the chicks...

Honestly, some of these employees knew less about chickens than most of our customers. One time, we got in a bunch of Assorted Bantams, which could literally be nearly any breed, or mix of breeds, and someone was trying to sell them as Bantam Easter Eggers to a customer, because they looked...

So, I worked for tsc for several months, and you would not believe some of the stuff that people thought. There were the obvious people who thought that you need a rooster for eggs, people who didn't realize you needed a brooder light/hen. There were a few people who said they "had been...

Right, I have done a bit of research into Asian Blacks, and they do look very similar to mine. I even found a mixture of the "breed" at three months old, and it looks exactly the same as mine did when he was growing up, as well as the current picture

They had gotten them from 3 different hatcheries. The most likely one they got them from was Privett hatchery, with the other two being townline and mountain healthy. Any idea what the Silkie might've been mixed with?

Unfortunately, I do not know off of the top of my head. From what the assistant manager had said, there seemed to have been a mix up last spring and they were labeled as pure silkies, which everyone knew from the beginning they weren't. I had tried asking which breeds of chicks they had in store...

We have both a rooster and a hen that we got when they were babies from Tractor Supply. They had both started out completely black when they were a few days old, but then around 3 weeks they both started getting brown on their breasts. The rooster continued getting brown until he turned into...

Thank you! We thought there was something mixed due to the legs. We didn't even think of checking to see if they could've been part silkie. We actually had silkies in our first batch several years ago, and that they were smaller than all of the rest of our chickens. Any idea what the other...

A while ago, we decided to get a few chickens for a small backyard coop, after having to give away our flock several years ago due to predators and other problems at the time. We recently got several new chicks, and raised them from day old hatchlings about mid-March. We took in four white...
