We had 2 Cochin bantams earlier this year who around 4 weeks old had significant combs that were already coloring red. We had another 2 hatch about 4 weeks later and they only started getting bigger combs and more color in there around 7 weeks old. Since at 4 weeks they had nothing, I had good...

Me too, it seems like the place I got her from just wasn't as animal friendly as I'd hoped, so she really still needs to learn what it's like to be loved and get treats and have others to hang out with while being able to play.

Really depends on the breed. I had one where it was absolutely clear at 3 weeks, another one where I had (correct) suspicions at 2 weeks, but at 4 weeks started wondering if it wasn't a girlie after all to get my initial suspicions confirmed at 5 weeks. My bantam Cochins seems to grow a super...

The flock minus 1 who was hiding out somewhere else. And the previous group with 4 roos laying in the sun on my hardwood floor...) I need to take some new pictures as the flock changed so much this last week, 2 new ones and 4 roos who left. Thanks to some great advice in my post about one...

Yeah, but the 10 day old ones seem to enjoy getting into any and everything, those can drown a bit easier still.

For the water I do want something safe for the littles. Don't want to end up drowning them while trying to keep them safe. But yeah, doe feed I've got enough containers I could use.

Thanks! I'll go buy some more tomorrow and find a way to block views and see if that helps.

#2 looks like what my olive egger roos looked like at about 3.5/4 weeks. The others combs look more like my Easter egger hens.

She's been pecking those little SO hard that they're scared to eat and drink, that's why I started separating her. As soon as they don't run away from food and drink anymore I'll stop separating them. Don't want to end up with another dead baby. (I picked up another one the age of my Cochins and...

She on the other side of a fence now which she seems to hate, for chicken play time I do let her choose to join the rest or not. She sometimes joins, sometimes rather jump into the bigger part where the rest usually live and hang out there on her own for a bit. I just feel bad for her. She...

Heya, I'm new here, tha ks for having me. We're moving from a house with a postage stamp yards and neighbors who call the cops for everything to a bigger property where there's already a chicken coop, so here we are, starting with chickens. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get...

Hi, I just added a 6 week old Ajam Cemani to my other hens of the same age and she's just not handling being here it seems. I think the breeder wasn't too friendly with them, and she's just not used to anything. I get that she's still nervous about being handled, but she seems to just not...
