My three little beeps are almost seven weeks old now and I'm starting to have suspicions that they're crossed with cochin, not silkie. Daddy is a mille fleur d'uccle, and the hatching mommy is a silkie, but I had also seen my cochin in the same nesting box. I thought there'd be at least some...

They're killing me with how freaking cute they are. Do you think I should add a ground level box in the meantime?

The chicks are all less than a week old and have decided to leave the confines of the fort to explore the coop with Mommy. They had a great time, and both parents kept them safe all day, but when it was time for bed, they couldn't get back up the ramp. About how long does it take for them to...

The third egg finally hatched sometime last night or this morning! And now we have triplets ❤

Thanks for the input! I initially was going to get a couple silkie chicks so she would have pals to snuggle with since she doesn't roost like the other chickens do. She became broody shortly after, so I figured this may do the trick. I hope at least one of them picks up the habit, I get so...

I decided to let my little silkie keep three eggs and yesterday two of them hatched! Mommy is being super attentive and taking good care of her little chicks. I'll let her keep the other egg a little while longer, just in case. So anywho, if mommy is a white silkie and daddy is a mille fleur...

My babies are ranging from three to fiveish weeks and I think I'm starting to see some characteristics here and there, but let's see what you think! New Boot Goof is a 4wk mille fleur d'uccle that I'm starting to worry is a cockerel (crossing my fingers I'm wrong) Say Something Hat Day is a...

Wow, thanks for the heads up Folly's Place and SunHwaKwon. We have a few feed stores in the area, but I live in Sacramento and most of them tend to be commercial chains. I bought the starter at the same feed store I got my chicks at, so there wasn't much opportunity to be super particular...

Thank you everyone for your input! You're right, ChickenCanoe, it was obnoxious of me to ask about information that was not on my bag of food and to assume that more experienced people would be willing to share their advices with me. I appreciate your suggestion SunHwaK, I believe I will...

My little flock of bantams are growing fast, what's the criteria for switching from starter to grower to laying feeds? Is it much different than the larger chickies? And if I have a roo in the mix, I'm seeing different information regarding laying feed being a potential issue for him...should...

Looks straight to me!

I aquired this little chick a little over two weeks ago. She/he came in with frizzles and was the last one in the shipment, but the feed store staff said she/he was more than likey not a frizzle. I'm thinking at this point, what I most likely have is a cochin, and since she/he's a little older...

Thanks for the suggestions and salutations, everyone!

Hi! I'm a new chicken mom and have had my babies for a little over two weeks. Every time I google a question, I always end up here, so makes sense to sign up! I live in the city, so my flock will remain small, but fancy. I have a white crested black polish, mille fleur d'uccle, white silkie...
