Super excited to try my hand at hatching! I had a chance to get some purebred hatching eggs locally for three breeds I've been wanting to add to my flock and jumped at it. Since it is my first experience, I didn't want to buy a pricey incubator in case I give up after hatch #1 (or, more...

Was wondering what breen this chicken is...

So I've raised chickens for a few years but never had cockrels. I now have 4 cockrels (13 weeks old). I am trying to rehome at least 3 if not all of them, but have had no luck. I also have 12 hens/pullets (2 @ 2yrs, 10 @ 13 weeks). Only one if my hens is laying currently. One cockrel has...

First off, they aren't turkeys, so I'm thankful for that! :lau But I don't know what they are. Posts when they were younger had people saying Production Reds or NH's. They are now 12 weeks and I'm stumped. I've looked up Buckeyes too but they don't seem to have pea combs. Also, one is...

So weird... When I left for work this morning it was pouring out. It was supposed to be heavy rain all day so I let the chickens stay in their coop. Nothing has ever gotten in there - it is pretty impenetrable. When I got home I asked my 6yr old to let them out. Poor choice. One if our 3...

I posted my supposed Speckled Sussex a week ago. I was told that they probably are NH Reds or Production Reds. Any better guess on gender now? The first one has a yellow stripe down her/his chest. The other is darker.

I heard TSC had chicks in and I'd been looking for Barred Rocks. They didn't have them of course, so I got 2 Speckled Sussex and 2 French Marans. The next day stopped at a different TSC - of course they had Barred Rocks. So I got 4 more. All straight run. I'm hoping some of you can help me...
