    Is this a black cochin?

    I thought I would update this in case someone else gets a bird like this. He is a light brama. Thank you all for your input.

    Sebrights and D'uccle 6 weeks now. Boys, girls? Lots of pics!

    Okay, after seeing how girly Featherz pullet is, I think you're right about all boys. I can't even keep the hope alive... My D'uccle was 100% boy so fast I had my fingers crossed for Justanother Brooke. His waddles were red right away too. Also if you're right about the sebright I'm worried...

    Sebrights and D'uccle 6 weeks now. Boys, girls? Lots of pics!

    I'm no expert but I'm going to go against what the others are saying and agree with you. 2 girls, one boy. Your D'uccle has no waddle and is too pink in my opinion to be a boy. The sebright seems too pink too. I'd be interested when you figure it out if you would re-post.

    How do you cook your eggs

    I crack one egg (for 10 chicks) in a bowl and scramble it. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mash it up. Put it back for 15-20 more seconds. Re-mash with a fork. Sometimes I add a bit of water. They love it, there is no added fat, no real mess and is done in less than a minute.

    What breed is this little blue muffed banty?

    I think it is some sort of silkie mix. Maybe silkie and EE. That's my best guess at least.

    Got some Chicks, i think theyre silkies or at least silkie mixes Pics!

    Those are all silkies. Buff and white it looks like but it's kinda hard to tell from the pic. Give the others a little time for their leg feathers to come in.

    Here's the bebe@5-7 weeks old. What do you guys think now? =)

    It's not an EE, it's a BBR OEGB pullet. I have one too and if I posted a pic you would swear I posted a pic of your bird. Mine has a lovely personality though so you should be pleased. It should lay white or cream colored eggs. Also with the feathering I'm going to guess closer to 5 weeks than 7.

    Assorted Bantam Bin Fun :)

    I agree with you. 1 looks like a golden sebright and 2-6 are millie fluer d'uccles. I love love love d'uccles. The heavily feathered feet don't lie. I think they look like little snow shoes. Edited to add: give it another week. My d'uccle was the first of my 10 that I absolutely KNEW was a...

    WORRIED! butt issues...

    I have 12 chicks, and every SINGLE ONE has a rear that "pulsates". It's 100% normal. If their poop is watery, I would say cut back on the sav-a-chick. I found that with my chicks if it was slightly too concentrated they would have intestinal upset. Maybe give it every other day. Just be sure to...

    Saw dust as bedding/litter?

    As adults I believe they could very much suffer from the same issue. Personally I wouldn't. Wood is absorbent and I would worry that sawdust would absorb water in their crop and stop them up. Someone else may come here with a story of using it without a problem but I would be too worried to use...

    Question on mypetchicken order

    Mine were sent Monday Feb 28th and received Tuesday the 1st. All alive, one died from being blind. Your phone number will be on the box and the post office should (very likely will) call when they get in. You can tell them you are expecting them and they will know to call you tomorrow when I...

    Saw dust as bedding/litter?

    I would very much suggest against this. If you use sawdust as litter, the chicks may eat the fine material and it could cause bulbous crops and in some cases result in death by starvation. Shavings, paper towel, towels, even sand is better. If you are worried about cost, sand is a pretty cheap...

    Baby bonded too much and wants out!

    I would suggest blue koting the red areas and allowing it back in with supervision. Chickens do chicken behavior, (scratching, flapping, pecking, peeping)..they will annoy each other, it's like having multiple siblings living with you constantly. But it is better for them to be together. I had...

    Pack N Play Brooder?

    I considered using a pack and play but it was too big for my needs. I have read on here many people use and love it as a brooder. I suppose you could use a towel on the sides if your garage is drafty. Personally I would be slightly worried about heat lamps and cloth, BUT, I'm a worrier and I am...
