This girl is now 19 weeks old and was bought from the feed store as a barnevelder pullet. She's always seemed lacking in the color dept to me, but also has a smokey overlay on her yellow legs. You can definitely still see the yellow showing through it though. Could it be that she is mixed or...

My beautiful little EA pullet has gone from a "look but don't touch" motto, to litterally running at top speed with wings flapping anytime she sees us, and begging to be carried around like she's a Chihuahua. She even rushes into the house anytime the door is opened and just hangs out like a dog...

One of my little turkens was picked on by the other babies and resulted in quite the would on her neck. She has had to be separated from them while healing and is enjoying the one on one attention she is receiving.lol Ollie follows us everywhere we go and loves sleeping on shoulders. This time...

I know there are tons of beautiful coops on here, but with funds tight and my need immediate, I used what was available. It's my first time building one completely by myself and drawing up my own plans. My neighbor had old scrap wood he wanted to get rid of. Most was pretty badly warped and full...

These girls obviously aren't as old as I originally thought they were, but dang, they HAVE to start laying soon! Lol can anyone tell me how close they are? The Sapphire gems were bought the same day from the farm store but the rir's were bought about a week later.

Forgive the pun, but I'm reading where people are saying they only have a small flock, or some have a fairly good size flock. I'm curious as to what the actual numbers are though that you all use to determine your flock size. I can't even IMAGINE how big a flock some must have if they are...

I (yet again🙄) picked up more chicks from a feed store. Lol My questions are "are all chicks purebreeds that come from the hatcheries?" This time I picked up 3 Turkens and a Frizzle. But one of the Turken babies are rumpless. Would this be more likely due to being a cross breed, or due to a...

So after see all of your beautiful chickens, and being introduced to so many new breeds that I was blissfully unaware of, I broke. Yep! Completely. Not like I had very far to go though to be quite honest. 🤷🏼‍♀️. So, off to Atwood's I went only to discover that they had pullets on sale for %50...

These boys were sold to me as day old EE chicks by Tractor Supply. I'm wondering if you feel they had them mislabeled? Would they look so identical if they were EE? They are 6 months old and have still yet to crow also.

My almost 7 month old roosters have yet to make their first crow, nor are my same age pullets starting to lay. What could cause such a delay? I'm also wondering if the hatchery told me the wrong breed on my Roos. Any guesses on breed?

We have an over abundance of raccoons here and the nursing mommas are desperate for food. I’m assuming this was the work of a crafty coon. Do you all agree? My poor babies are apparently their goal. I lost two more last night. If they would have went inside to roost they would have been fine...

Im at a loss. I wanted to keep a few ducks and two geese along with my chickens and goats. I think I’m about to give up though. I just can’t keep clean drinking water. Even elevated water buckets are a fail because the small kids can’t reach them but the geese can with their long necks and have...

both these kids are approx 3weeks old. I’m thinking the white one is a sultan, but hen or cockerel? And is the other one a sebrite? Any guesses on gender?

I have what was purchased as a golden pencilled Wyandotte chick. As it’s growing, I’m trying to determine if it a pullet or cockerel. Does anyone have any rooster pics of one? I’m having a difficult time locating any rooster pics myself even through google.

The very same day I post about my rumpless baby that I was so proud of, a predator breaks into my coop and kills her and her hatchmate! They took her, leaving only feathers behind right outside the coop fencing and only ate the head from the other, leaving the body still inside the fence. The...

I tried posting about my little one on a really old post but I don’t see it showing up. So I figured I’d try again. I hatched a batch of eggs this spring out of my black Australorp rooster. One of the chicks looked like her legs were put on in the wrong place and I almost culled it. Im glad I...

Hi everyone! I was so excited to add a salmon faverolle to my flock but think I may have to keep searching. The local feed store was selling them as salmon chicks but, well, ya know how that goes sometimes.Any thoughts on what it may actually be? Thank you in advance!
