Hi everyone, so I got some chicks from TSC. New Hampshires. They were the last three, and I know it’s too early but I like to be prepared and have a general idea.
They’re about 2 weeks old and was hoping I could get a general idea on if I have two pullets and a cockerel.
Their first picture is...
I have 6 chicks about 2 weeks olds. I got them from Rural King which told me they were vaccinated for coccidiosis. They had all been doing fairly well. Growing, eating, playing, drinking, and pooping normally. I took them outside for a few hours yesterday since it was warm and they seemed to...
I know it’s too early to tell, but there are rather obvious characteristics with this 2 week old chick!
1) Has light feet compared to my other ‘female’ Barred Rock chick
2) Feather growth is very slow compared to my other chicks (who are the same age)
3) The small feathers it does have are...

I posted in the wrong section before. I think I have a pair of Cali greys, all was well until one was staring at me a lot and then the color was developing. One has much lighter feathers coming in and the other is much darker, even darker feet.
I also have a bird that was supposed to be a...
12 day old silkie chick originally came out white/cream coloured but is now developing some grey on the wings! It has grown a lot darker within the past few days. What colour will it grow up to be? Mom is a white silkie hen with white parents and dad is a golden partridge silkie.
So have have 2 Easter egger chicks who I thought were female (wishful thinking though bc we hatched them out and have no way to know yet) but I noticed them displaying behaviors I didn’t remember at this age for my other older girls. I was looking at them this morning and they were...
just a few hours ago i had a baby chick (around 2 weeks old.) on my shoulder, and he was pecking my mouth. then he tried to drink some of my spit (i dont know why.), and then afterwards he shook his head and flung water from his mouth everywhere. he was gasping for air. slowly he calmed down...
Good evening everyone,
I am new to raising baby chicks but have 6 2 year old ladies that are wonderful.
I brought home 6 new babies to add to my flock this year, and I’m worried my Easter Egger is sick.
She is usually one of my go getters, always first over for treats, investigates everything...
We got chickens originally because we wanted to have fresh eggs. We gambled on straight run for our first 6. Ended up with 2 cornish x which were labeled as something totally different and 4 barred rock. 5 out of the 6 chicks are boys and the pullet is a cornish x! 😭
So we went to get pullets...
hello friends and chicken family. Today I went to purchase a coop for my 2 week old chicks and decided to get the Snap & lock large chicken coop. It was on display for 300$ at my local tractor supply BUT its normally 800$ purchase online. I was a little confused because I have seen the same coop...
Hi all,
I am wondering what age we can move our chicks to the coop. I have seen so many different articles on when to actually let them in the coop outside.
We have 14 Easter Egger Hens and they are currently 2 weeks and 2 days. We are starting to build the coop, now that we finally have nice...
Hi all!
Does anyone happen to have the Precision Pet Cape Cod Style Chicken Coop? This one is not the Extreme model.
We put this together a few days ago and our two week old chicks and mama love it! It's like a little chicken condo. Mama hen and 10 chicks have been moved about 4 times so...
I just got my first chicks yesterday. They're two weeks old. Two silkies and 3 are salmon faverolls, though one of the salmon faverolls looks very different so I'm wondering about it! I only plan to keep two, I picked up the others for friends because everyone has told me they are looking for...
