    Pullet?

    Thank you! I think I’m just paranoid because I can’t have a roo here and they’re such a funny little creature. I’d hate to have to give it away or cull it.

    Pullet?

    They always seem to have the zoomies so this was the best I could do at the moment. 🤣

    Pullet?

    Hey all, Littles are 7.5 weeks old and this is the one that has me worried that it’s a Roo.

    It's the same "girl". Ms. Priss, the Lavender Orpington. I'll try to get better shots in better light in another week or so. I will say, there's really not a lot of color to their combs yet, but like you said, they're young.

    For giggles

    Hi all! The Littles are now 6 weeks old. I’m hoping they’re all pullets. I know it’s early but I’m interested in hearing opinions. Not the best pics, they were very busy trying to eat the phone. 🤣🤣🤣

    Will this be detrimental?

    Thank you @HappyClucker7 and @rosemarythyme. They were quite content with very full crops last night. Hahaha!! They're going to get a day off from treats today, much to their chagrin. In fact, I'm currently getting the stink eyed stare down from my Lavender Orp.

    Will this be detrimental?

    Hey all, the Littles have started get a small handful of meal worms as a treat, they're so excited when the back comes out. However today, I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing and about a LOT of mealworms came out of the bag, probably a cup and half. Will this be detrimental to...

    Hello!

    @Brearune Welcome!! I'm a newbie too. I have 5 four week old chicks, whom I've nicknamed The Littles(yes, they all have individual names...LOL). I'm so excited to take this journey. Everyone here has been so kind, patient and knowledgeable!

    Week 4 update

    I wonder what she is then!! She's a bit of a bully. Hahaha!! The other ladies are starting to put her in her place though. They're slowly working out the order.

    Week 4 update

    Thank you!! I think they're adorable, even if they are rapidly approaching their "teenage" period. I think Rosalita(pullet(?)) in pics 2 and 5 is my Barnevelder. Blanche(no. 4) and Big Booty Judy(no. 6), I think are Speckled Sussex. I'm curious to know what y'all think.

    Week 4 update

    Hey all!! All of the Littles are doing well. I’m including pics! I *think* I have two speckled Sussex and 1 Barnevelder, hopefully all pullets!!!

    Suggestions for Best Dust Bath for Chicks

    Hello all!! My littles are a week old now and are starting to "dust" bathe in their aspen shavings. Should I get a little bit of dirt from where their run will be so they can get acclimated to the soil? They are on medicated feed, but have access to Corid, just in case. Thank you(in advance).

    They’re home!!

    So obviously the grey one is the lavender Orpington. The light buff one I’m pretty sure is the Easter egger, her cheeks have little muffs. The top left, I *think* is the speckled Sussex. Bottom right, I *think* is the Barnevelder. The big booty Judy directly above the Orpington is the mystery chick.

    They’re home!!

    They’re quiet now. I’m going to assume they’re exhausted. Lol I think my dogs are petrified.

    They’re home!!

    Hey all!! Brought the brood home today!! Mt. Healthy threw in an extra chick. I have no clue what she’s going to be!! I’ve gotten them to eat and drink, now they’re pretty quiet, peeping quietly every now and again under the brooder. Is this a good sign?

    Breed question

    I think that may be what I do. It makes a lot more sense. Especially since I’ve read that Orpingtons can go broody. I can get chicks and hopefully let Mama Orp do the work next spring(hopefully!!!). Build the bigger run in anticipation. Thank you!!

    Breed question

    That seems to be the most responsible thing to do, start smaller. Right now I’ve ordered 2 of each of Speckled Sussex, Easter eggers, lavender orps and barnevelder. As a beginner in an urban area, which would you recommend I keep/cancel? Thank you so much for your advice. I want to do this properly.

    Breed question

    Good to know! I’ve already got two solar powered fans with battery back up to help with ventilation. I’ll also have the coop/run made larger. I also wonder if I should shrink my order.
