1, 2, and 5 are all the same chick and been told brown leghorn or welsummer. I thought maybe welsummer. That’s the only one that would be still for pics. 3rd pic I’ve heard speckled Sussex a lot. His/her feathers have started to have a bluish/green tint to them lately, not sure if that helps...
I’ve asked several times but get mixed answers so I’ll see if I can get more definite answers since they’re a bit older. Also would like guesses on the breeds since I’m not sure on them either. Please and thank you?! They are 7-8 weeks old. 4 chicks here. It’s very windy so I wasn’t able to...
When they’re inside I can tell if they’re too cold or warm, but with that heater I’m not sure. They’re all huddle together in front of it. But I guess maybe I’m just being a worried mama.
The low temp is about 45 degrees tonight. The chicks have been in the coop most of the day and we just got the cozy coop heater thingy. It’s radiant heat so it’s not meant to heat the whole coop just gives them a warm spot. Temps outside currently are 60 and the thermometer placed near them...
No, I don’t have anything yet. I’ve just been observing and she still seems ok. I checked her ears and as far as I could tell they were clear (those holes are tiny!). I haven’t managed to check her mouth yet, she’s not having it, but I’ll keep trying.
So update on this...I’m a little worried. The same BR chick shakes her head when she’s out in the wind (it’s been very windy here lately) and last night she sneezed and “snot” came out. She’s still eating and drinking fine and seems well other than that. Should I worry, or treat with...
Chicks are about 5-6 weeks old. We’ve been taking them outside to spend the days in the coop/run for the past week or two when the weather is nice. Today when we brought them back inside, they would NOT stop chirping. It’s storming outside so I thought maybe that could be the reason. But...
No, just that we are first time chicken owners and we aren’t prepared for fertilized eggs and the other things that come with roosters. We thought we were getting all hens. I will say if she turns out to be a rooster, I’m not sure I can part with her or him lol.
I was afraid of that. He/she is so sweet and docile and doesn’t mind being held. I really don’t want to have to get rid of it because we aren’t ready for a rooster.
Ok that’s what I was hoping it was but wanted to make sure. Seemed weird how fast it changed, does that make a difference in sex? I’m still not sure of the sex.
It’s sorta like a lump, we have 5 total, haven’t noticed the others having it, but they’re all different breeds. We have been letting them out in the coop/run during the day for the past week, so they’ve had access to grass and bugs etc. Seems the same on both sides so I assume it’s just the...
