Yes... they will be 14 weeks on Tuesday. I got all of them at the same time (3/9/23).

Thank you! That will make my granddaughters so happy!

The four chickens pictured below are 14 weeks old (Buff Orpington and Aquila). I was sure that Midnight (Aquila) and Sunny (Buff) are roosters however, Midnight started doing the submissive squat when I go into the run and try to pet him/her, and Sunny is VERY submissive to my entire flock. I...

I got them from a local ranch store in the beginning of March. I was not specifically looking for them, it just kind of happened.

We added to our little flock this year with 13 chicks. 🐣🐥🐤:love All are 5 weeks and so far, I am fairly confident that 12 out of the 13 are pullets. The exception is one of my two Aquila's. "Midnight," pictured below, already has a pink comb, while his sister's is grey and smaller, has thicker...

UPDATE: Well, she laid an egg this morning and seems better today, although not entirely herself. I will keep a close eye on her.

It has been very cold here... snowed yesterday and highs in the low 30's, lows in the teens. I have never dewormed my chickens... I guess that is something I should look into. I did not see mites or lice. My chickens do not free range... too many predators. I feed them crumbles with 16%...

Yes, her comb may be a little paler than normal. How do you give chickens human calcium? I will google, but I am very new to chickens. This is my first issue. I hate it!!

She laid yesterday, but not today, and that is normal for her. She is laying about 4-5 eggs a week right now, so I would be expecting one tomorrow. I will check her abdomen and vent in the morning, as she is already up to roost tonight. I was worried she wouldn't get up there, but she did! I...

When I came home from work today and went to check on my flock I found one of my 7 month old Barred Rock hens lethargic. She is normally overly friendly and devours scratch when I give them some, but she would not eat and was moving slowly and only when I tried to get her. He head and neck are...

I am hoping we will find more tomorrow so that there isn't a fight over it! If not.... :smack

Update: We got our first egg!!:wee It was from one of our Easter Eggers, Cream puff! Its amazing how excited I am over one egg... now hopefully the rest will catch on! Thanks for all of the advice!

The waiting IS the hard part!!

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Go ahead, make my day.

So there is some hope... Thanks!

This is my first time with chickens and my pullets are 22 weeks old (2 Barred Rocks and 4 Easter Eggers) and none them have started laying yet. Their combs and wattles have grown and are bright red, they are destroying the nesting boxes daily and about 12 days ago a few of them started squatting...

My Barred Rocks, Pepper and Oreo, talk to me every time I go into or even near their coop. It's actually hilarious! I think they are telling me about their day and how much they missed me because they follow me around and just chatter the entire time I am out there with them. I also have Easter...

done!

Good info on yet another predator. I was not aware that they could actually be helpful in protecting against hawks.
