    "Male specific" coloring in EE/OE?

    Just a random follow up for anyone who is reading this years later lol. Olive and chirp both were in fact roosters. The hatchery offered compensation for one of them, stating the other was "an extra" and I had to go through a fairly lengthy process to get my $3.99 back 🤣 The other two...

    Could these maybe be frizzled Cochin?

    Just to update, neither were frizzled 💔 I still love them though 💕

    Solution for wet coop?

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. Hesitant to add more stuff to scoop out, but if it makes it lighter then maybe it won't feel like so much work lol

    Solution for wet coop?

    Okay. So I have been using deep bedding in the coop, which has worked well until... the roof blew off in a storm and now everything is soaked. I'm trying to clean out all the wet pine flakes, but struggling to find the best solution of how to get them out and dispose of them. We don't have a...

    Dark Brahma Pullets @ 8 wks - Why does one look different?

    Except they were wrong, so 🤷🏼‍♀️ lol

    Could these maybe be frizzled Cochin?

    Hi all! So, just picked up 2 TSC banties, that I believe are buff Cochin. Wondering if one or both might be frizzled?? No clue exactly how old, but both their wing feathers seem to be sticking out instead of flat against their bodies like the other 2 banties the same age (which I'm guessing are...

    Help IDing this chick?

    Thanks all! Just my luck lol. Leave it to me to buy a sexlinked pullet and STILL end up with a roo 🙃🤣🤣 The interesting thing is, none of the various chick bins were labeled as buff Orpingtons, much less the bin he came from 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh well I'll love him anyway, just another one for my bachelor...

    Help IDing this chick?

    Okay, so I got this chick from rural king, as a golden comet pullet. Coloring seemed right for that at the time. Now, Polly is 4 weeks old and really acts like a little cockerel. Very brave, runs up and chest bumps my hand whenever I'm messing with the brooder; also makes the little special "I...

    I don't think my frizzled cochin is frizzling :(

    Yeah. Just sucks. I could have gotten a regular ol' bantam Cochin for $4 at TSC 🤣😭 I'd be more understanding if I'd gotten hatching eggs, no one can control what comes out. But knowing someone picked this one out and sold it as a frizzle, at a premium price for a hatchery bird, just kinda feels...

    I don't think my frizzled cochin is frizzling :(

    Frizzles will always be frizzled. It's a dominant gene, so if they have it, they are frizzled. Now it is true that they don't produce all frizzled offspring. But it shouldn't be sold as a frizzle (and come with the higher price tag) if it's not a frizzle. 😭

    I don't think my frizzled cochin is frizzling :(

    Hey all! So I ordered a black bantam frizzled Cochin from Meyer. She hatched 8/28, so *almost* 2 weeks old. I don't think she's actually a frizzle 😭 literally the ONLY reason I placed an order was to get the frizzle. I ordered a couple other fun breeds just to get the minimum order, but I really...

    I need help sexing/figuring out how to separate

    Thanks! I'll try to grab pics when I'm home from work. I *think* after googling last night I was able to vent sex them, 2 boys and 2 girls. But I'd like to confirm!

    I need help sexing/figuring out how to separate

    Hi all. First time with quail. I hatched these guys 7/23, they're 6 weeks exactly. I had only 4 out of 12 eggs hatch. Of the 4, one started crowing a few days ago. No crowing or eggs from the others. They are all coturnix, but from my understanding were kept all together regardless of color. So...

    Gaping hen :(

    I gave safeguard and tylan 50, orally. And used vetrx under her wings, on her comb and legs to help alleviate symptoms. I don't remember the dosage of the tylan, it was based on her weight. She eventually improved, I'm not sure what actually helped her, I just threw everything I could think of...

    "Male specific" coloring in EE/OE?

    Thank you both! This one, too?? Also an EE 🥴😭

    "Male specific" coloring in EE/OE?

    Talk to me about the whole "male specific coloring" thing... I ordered 7 pullets, they sent 8, and I think 3 of them might be cockerels. One is an EE that just has a huge comb already- it's pale, but just so BIG for only being 4 weeks old. Not my main question, but since I'm here anyway-...

    BYM gender confirmation please :)

    Thank you everyone! She is certainly unique! And I didn't even mean to have that particular cross! 🤣

    BYM gender confirmation please :)

    I was thinking she was old enough that it should be pretty obvious by now! I do have a few tricky ones from this hatch, but she's one I was fairly certain is a she. I'm so glad too, because the favorites almost always seem to be Roos 😭🤣

    BYM gender confirmation please :)

    This is my BYM I hatched- I believe she's a pullet. Dad is barred rock, and mom is Pavlovskaya. She is one of my favorites out of this hatch. She's around 13-14ish weeks. I love her so much, she has so much personality both in looks and behavior.
