He ya'll,
We are almost at the start of chick season and we will be replacing/adding to some of our small flock. We are getting rid of 4 girls and bringing in 7 in ones. We are at teh picking stage right now and want to "mix it up" a bit with breeds. We would love a little input.

Ok, this is our second time around with chicks. We live in Colorado and already have 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte Hens for over a year now. The question I have involves the 3 new chicks we got about 7 weeks ago. Temps here in Colorado have been in the 70's in the last couple week and our new chicks...
We have 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte hens. They are 23 weeks old and have just started to lay sporadically. Not all of them are laying yet. We think the majority of the eggs came from just one of the girls. My question is about their egg size. Right now the eggs are all about half the size that they...
New to Backyard chickens but loving the adventure. We have 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte's...hopefully all hen's...we will see! They just turned 9 weeks old and we are almost done with the coop. The weather is FINALLY warming here in Colorado Springs.
Meet the girls!!!
Hello Forum Family! Coloraod Springs Newbie's here!
Ok, we bought 5 Sliver Laced Wyandotte pullets from the feed store and they are now about 9 weeks old. 4 of them have small combs coming in and one does not show any sign of comb. I read somewhere (not sure where) that SLW roo's get combs...
Ok, I know this has been asked before, but we are noob's! We have 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte pullets and have watched them grow for the last 9 weeks. We are almost done with the coop outside. We can plainly see that one of them has virtually "no comb" (see pics) while the other 4 have small combs...
Hey gang,
Today we had our 5 one month old Silver Laced Wyandotte girls out to walk around the front porch and noticed that one of them had an odd toe. We have not noticed this before but it could have been this way for awhile...or she could have injured it.
It kind of looks like it is...

We have 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte's. They are nearing 3 weeks old this Wednesday. We are around them all the time and have noticed that one of them, the larger bird named Georgia, is very aggressive toward the other chicks. She often pecks at the others and stands up with wings flapping and kinda...
Hello fellow chicken folks,
We are the Dodson's and we live in Colorado Springs, CO. We are not new to chickens (grew up on Iowa farm as a kid...it's been awhile) but are new to the idea of raising chickens in the city.
We have totally changed how we eat and started thinking about raising...
