I added two from the same hatch, about 17weeks old to some older hens. Currently the one is still in with the rest, doing pretty good. Getting picked on by one hen but the rooster has accepted her. I was hoping she would be a comfort to the other hen but we will just see I guess. also hoping...

Yeah thanks! The tough part is she didn’t get to bond with the flock yet.

I just got a new Easteregger, she is mixed with Welsummer and is not very fond of humans. I added her to the flock and she flew over the 8’ fence, pretty much right away. The enclosure is about 38’x28’ so it’s decent size. We’re about to put a roof on but I didn’t think she’d do that. Clearly in...

I wish I could keep them all!

Thanks everyone!

Who knows a thing or two about Silverlaced English Orpingtons?? I have 5, 4 seem to be males…do they typically have white necks if they’re male and when can you tell this? I have red combs on 4/5 and that happened early on, they’re 11 weeks now…any feedback?

I’m holding onto that as well. But I’m guessing they’re both cocks.

Hi everyone! I posted these babies a few weeks ago? They’re now 11 weeks and have had so pecking issues. They’re two and both are getting their back feathers picked by other chicks. I HATE that! They get plenty of good food and water with lots of space! 182 sq feet of outdoor run area for 10, 11...

Hi, the one on the far right is for sure a cockerel. Look at those tail feathers. If the others have similar tail feathers you have all cocks.

This happened to me this year too. First time in 10 years. Very odd, I did have new hens that were trying to brood but still. I ended up taking them to a separate brooder eventually after they hatched.

Oh man! Lol that’s fun, too bad we can’t keep all those beautiful dudes!

Oh and yes, Isabel Brahma :) I’m excited to see these babies grow big and beautiful!

Ok I’ll try to get some tomorrow :)

Oh awesome! Thanks for the photo!! Pretty ;) I wouldn’t mind a big beautiful cockerel, but hens definitely make more room for my other cockerels that I have. Thanks for the feedback!! This breed is mighty tricky!

Yes I got 5 of those beauties and 4 are cockerels..lol their combs popped pretty early.

Hi! I need help, I’m pretty sure I have two Roos but maybe someone with some more experience raising brahamas will know better. Here’s a pic at 8 weeks! Today!! What do you think? Cockerel or Pullet? Thanks for your help 🤩

Yeah I was thinking that too. Her bum leg is what worries me. I do think it’s some weird genetic thing. We will see I guess thanks for the advice ;)

She’s 4 weeks old. Pretty sure it’s a pullet.

Here are some pics

Oh and chick poop is normal, eating and drinking fine. I’ll take some pics
