That is a definite possibility because it is one of the breeds listed.. the main reason I didn't consider it was size. I thought they were more banty sized and this chick is ginormous..but of course hatchery could probably be any size..

Thank you♡♡ I didn't even consider skin/leg color... Ive looked thru what Meyer carries 100,829,193 times but havent figured out what any of these babies are short of the 2 EEs.. was hoping to thin them out before long but i refuse until i have their breeds 110% for sure..lol.. guess I am a...

I had 2 mottled that did the full zip but couldnt push out this last hatch..i blamed the weather on wrecking havoc on my humidity.. i helped those 2 and they are both perfecy (I know a lot of people are very hands off and believe if its not strong enough to hatch that it will be a weak bird...

Do they have roost bars? I know my orps tend to favor a 2x4 laid wide side flat...they cant curl their toes around it like a normal roost, but i think with their weight it is more comfortable. I have had some not so smart birds over the years and have had to go out after dark and physically pick...

So...hoping now that this lil bit has grown and feathered some..someone can help.. still trying to decide if its a jubilee orp or possibly a speckled Sussex i guess (only other breed i can think of with this coloring).. but here is the baby.. *** Even if it is..it wont be quality..not...

I recently bought a book at TSC by Jessi Bloom called Free-Range Chicken Gardens..How to Create a Beautiful, Chicken-friendly Yard.. it has TONS of chicken friendly garden ideas, layouts, plants, etc.. its amazing!! Retail is 20$, i got it 50% off but even if u cant find it on sale, its one...

(Not my pic).. but the part that has a solid top has a dividing wall inside with a little door..i removed that wall and slid the heating pad in the cubby hole..perfect fit.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00167S5EY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1490968207&sr=8-3&keywords=turtle+box+habitat Eta...

I thnk that's plenty big enough for the first couple days to a week (remember, you mosy likely wont get 12 babies) and for the first 3 days or so they are going to come out from "mom" to get a drink and a bite then right back to sleeping. Youll be surprised at how quiet they will be with the...

So, heres the chick in question.. Like I said, I'd LOVE for it to be a jubilee but certainly not holding my breath. Im 99.9% sure that its just wishful thinking, but wanted the opinion of those with way more experience than me. Its "rear heavy" like my mottled babies, and had that "big nostril"...

Does anyone think they could pick out a jubilee chick by a picture? I ordered a hatchery rare breed assortment just for the million in one odds i may get a jubilee. Well didn't think i did, but this one chick is "heavy in the rear" like my other Orp babies are and now is starting to feather out...

You drive a hard bargain..lol. I see Seramas on your signature list too.. uh oh, youre going to get me in a lot of trouble arent you?? I live about 15 minutes from Rt 50, and if im having a bad day i couod always send the DH on an egg run.. just have to mail u $ or something bc im pretty sure...

Quote: Dont you just love their fake out tactics..lol I had this teeny banty hen that hatched 12 babies. 1. I am not even sure how she covered 12 eggs and when I finally found her nest there was not even one egg unhatched so she is amazing imo. But, she mothered those babies so bad. They were...

Do you have any old kids playhouses or dog kennels? Those coops are flimsy and it most likely wont last more than a couple of years. I have a friend down the road that bought one last spring and that wind that we had a couple weeks ago? Left his in about 6 pieces (thankfully, well not thankfully...

Just jumping in here..lol.. Ive read a good bit of the thread and jumped tothe end, and am glad I did. The chains a re super idea!! I have been used small bricks in the middle of mine to keep them from collapsing on top of babies when others climb on top but I just took a chain out of a breeder...

Quote: I just started this year. We have RIR, BR, Wyandotte, and EE. If I can't figure out arrangements I may have to get rid of some lol I have a trio of BLR Wyandottes and pretty sure some production RIR in some chicks "I just had to have" from TSC. What do you mean by arrangements? Just...

This is the link to one of those boxes (a DIY on building one). This holds up to 200, but the original instructions I saw included how to make it for smaller groups but thats sort of self explanatory... http://www.plamondon.com/wp/build-200-chick-brooder-two-hours-20/ ** All credit goes to the...
