    Someone said they purchases from “Backyard Chickens”

    I am looking to see if you folks know! I live in California and someone at the feed store mentioned they purchased from somewhere called backyard chickens. I didn’t get a link, I believe they said they are located in Midwest. Are they talking about “backyard chickies” if you know where they may...

    Can a dog eat a chick (approx 6 weeks) whole and leave no feathers or blood?

    Agree. Taste of blood is mostly. Myth. Fortunately you are good owners and trained your dog. My six week chick is missing and I think went through a fence to the dogs is as only maybe 7 feathers and the smallest blood spatter. I can’t imagine my dog(s) ate her without depluming or leaving more...

    Sexing Easter Eggers, rules of thumb?

    My local feed store got them from Belt Hatchery in Ca. They are my pretty ones so I felt like they were boys. They were also more confident and kinda bullying my little chicks. They are 6 weeks :) they will have Pea Combs, from what I have heard they may be girls! Will keep my eye on them.

    My lavender marans?

    This baby was a surprise in my breeder order. Assuming he or she is a lavender marans, because they don’t offer many other breeds that fit this look. I’m puzzled at the black beak, comb and feet. Other lavender marans I see have lighter features? This is Sapphire, born around May 5 so about 4...

    Sexing Easter Eggers, rules of thumb?

    I would like to offer my 5 week EEs as tribute to consider if any roos. One early on I had suspicion simply due to personality. But now all of them are developing the personality. Colors are changing and new suspicions have emerged! 🤣
