I ordered 5 chicks from Meyer hatchery, and they are two weeks old. I added on a ‘meal maker’ chick, and ordered a speckled Sussex. I’m not sure which is which, and while I suspect the other one is an Easter egger I’m not sure so I wanted to see what yall thought. I labeled all the pictures as...

Once they are able to go outside I’m going to put them in the same coop with a barrier between them! Our brooder is indoors and they are 3 weeks old now (I wasn’t very clear in my OP, I’m sorry!) but she has a large dog crate with a roosting bar installed right next to it and once she comes in...

Thank you for confirming that she shouldn’t go back with the original chickens. That’s what I was thinking too, but I didn’t want to no longer consider it ever again if I was wrong. I know her quality of life isn’t good 🥺 that’s why I’ve been working so hard to make things better for her. I’ve...

I have really wondered about that… she’s never shown any symptoms of anything and I haven’t noticed any unusual behavior in the last several months that would indicate it but I know that doesn’t rule it out. They’ve never acted like this with any other new chickens, just her. She is incredibly...

I am at my wits end and I need advice 😩 I have a small mixed flock of silkies and regular-sized chickens. I have one silkie who I’ve been trying to integrate for several months now and it’s not working. Everyone attacks her- the big chickens and the other silkies. She has her own pen in the run...

Mine are so skittish. They scream and hide when I come into the run. When I have to pick them up they scratch and bite (and scream)- I’ve got bruises on my arms from the little stinkers 🤦‍♀️

I have 3 blue Ameraucana pullets- just turned 12 weeks old. I’ve had them since they were a day old and they still hate me. I’ve read breed descriptions online, but I was wondering what everyone else’s Ameraucanas (not Easter eggers but true Ameraucanas) are like?

Actually no they hatched June 11 so they’ll be 12 weeks old tomorrow 🤦‍♀️ I confused myself so I went back and checked 😂

Yes I said right at 12 weeks bc I was thinking they turned 12 weeks yesterday but they will be 13 weeks old on Monday. Thank you! This one’s got a huge attitude so between that and the mystery noises I was extra suspicious of her lol

The photos are all of the same bird, but I have 3 blue Ameraucanas who will be 12 weeks old tomorrow. I bought them as sexed pullets but I know that’s not a 100% guarantee. I keep hearing one of the chickens make the same sounds our rooster made before he started full-on crowing and I haven’t...

I don’t have another coop either, so what I’ve done is put a wire dog crate in the coop and my 7 week old chicks sleep in there at night until they can safely sleep out with the rest of the flock!

Oh that’s a relief! Thank you! My other Wyandotte has a much shorter tail and then when I saw her wattles I got concerned 😂

I’ve been assuming she was a pullet- our Wyandottes (we have 3 total) are pretty skittish still. I finally got my first up close look at her today since the day we got her and now I’m uncertain 🤨
