Here is my Barred Plymouth Rock roo. He is about 5 weeks old. Notice the HUGE wattles and large red comb.

I have a 4.5-week old chick (a golden laced wyandotte) whose comb appears to be turning slightly pink already. It is also starting to develop some small wattles, which have also turned slightly pink. I worry this chick may be a roo, but it's comb and wattle look like nothing compared to my...

Can anyone tell me what gender my chicks are? They are 4-5 weeks old, a couple of days apart, and yes, I am pretty sure that the barred plymouth rock chick is a roo. Any input is appreciated! Chick 1: Silver Laced Wyandotte Chick 2: RIR Chick 3: RIR Chick 4...

Yes, this is pretty normal. I have 5 chicks of my own that are starting to grow feathers, and they have been preening like crazy! It is probably pretty itchy to lose all that fluff, so preening comes as a natural impulse.

Thank you for such good answers!

My 5 chicks are around the age where you start getting little hints to what sex they are, like the way they feather out or the size of their combs and wattles. One of my chicks, a sweet, not-so-little-anymore silver wyandotte is showing almost all the attributes of a pullet. There's just one...

Thanks a lot for all the helpful tips! I think I'll try either hanging up the food/water... or should I put them on a block.... Now there are too many good options!

Hi! I have a couple of adorable baby chickies that have just started to romp around and jump and fly and, inadvertently, get bedding and poop into EVERYTHING. I am pretty tired of constantly having to clean out their water and feeder, what can I do to get it to stay clean longer? Right now they...

I have the cutest little runt chick in my small flock, but I worry about her because most of her fellow chicks are nearly twice her size. They don't pick on her or anything, but she seems a lot less energetic than everybody else, even though she eats, drinks and poops fine. I've been trying to...

Thank you so much Jiffyrocks! I was pretty sure it was just dust, but I wanted to listen to the opinion of someone more experienced!

This sneezing chick is also acting pretty normally. He's energetic, eats regularly, and drinks when he needs to.

I started raising chickens very recently and lately I've noticed one of my week and a half old chicks is sneezing. I've done extensive research on respiratory infections, and I'm not sure it has it. It is not showing any other symptoms, no runny nose, no mucus, no swelling, nothing. It is simply...
