Thank you R2elk, it's great to at least know her breed. She moving slowly, but she was making some cute purring sounds when I was observing her and making sure she was eating and drinking. Reminds me of when my chickens seems happy, I'm hoping at least she's in good spirits. Now to wait for...

So, we were just "gifted" a turkey, it was free, and no information came with her, so we named her Gravy and we're excited to learn about turkeys. I have chickens and sheep, so this is my first turkey experience. Any ideas of her breed? Does her face look normal? If it were a chicken, I...

We feed Scratch and Peck Starter and Grower here to our birds. (We supplement with oyster shell on the side because we have roosters too.) I was ordering directly from them, but then realized that my co-op (Azure Standard) sells even larger bags of Scratch and Peck for a better price so I get...

Renee I don't know of any local peahens right now for sale but sometimes there's some on craigslist. I wanted to wave at you because you're practically a neighbor! I'm in Malabar.

Hello again ladies and gents. I have updated photo is this mystery bird now that she's 8 weeks tomorrow. Her legs look a bit more yellow each week so I had to update to see what yall thought about her breed now.

Well, folks. My chicks are now 8 weeks old tomorrow, and here are new pics of the big boy you all helped me with, now named Mr. Mann. Our second boy has made himself known recently and is every bit as glorious red, but has a bent comb so we call him Mr. Crooke. And here are both...

You don't know what color the eggs are?

Hahahaha yea he does strut around a bit taller than the rest of them, and he seems to keep an eye on all of them, like he's always taking inventory of the others' location, even of the yet-unknown male. He even seems lets the others eat out of the feeder first. It's definitely been interesting...

Wow thanks. Her legs are in fact white-ish, with a grayish wash on the fronts. She is not as welcoming of me as the buffs are, but I hope she grows to love me someday. Thanks for the help! I'll keep yall updated monthly until we nail down a "for sure" breed.

Thanks in advance. This is the "Meal Maker" that Meyers put into my Buff Orps order just over 3 weeks ago on 2/22/17. What do you think it is? Her 3 day old photo is my avatar, if that helps.

This is my first batch of chickens ever. They all came at the same time from Meyers, on 2/22/17. Most have a little flesh colored comb forming on them now- it's the same color as their beak. This one is the only one that's pink, and it's exciting to think it's a rooster as I ordered 2 roos...

Great to know, I guess time will tell exactly what it is! Thanks so much for all the welcome and the educated guesses!

Too funny, I was singing that too after I opened the box. That's the Meyer Meal Maker freebie, sticks out like a sore thumb doesn't it? It was really hard to match it to the chick identifier chart, it could be a Dominique or a Giant Jersey or a Black Orpington. No clue, it's just too soon to...

And they're here! [/IMG]

I'm in Malabar, Brevard County! Hope to connect with others nearby. I'm starting with Buff Orpingtons and have so much to learn, but it's going to be awesome.

Thanks! I actually wanted an assortment (like 1 of each hen) but I got scared after reading the pecking order threads and learning how smaller hens are a bit more vulnerable to bullying... so I decided I will start with one cohesive flock of gentle birds to learn the ropes, and then maybe I'll...

I"m a long time lurker, and finally registered. For years I wanted hens but couldn't convince the HOA to permit them, so we saved up, left the subdivision and bought 5 acres in rural Malabar, FL late last year. Now I'm waiting for the call from the post office that my order of 15 buff...
