Hi all. I have a set of 7 chicks I am currently raising and I have my suspicions that 2 of these babies are indeed boys. They are 4 weeks + 1 day old, these are hatched from a mixed lot. Person I got them from has an Easter Egger hen and a Rhode Island Red hen, and they were at the will of an EE...

Hi, I have several 4 and 4 1/2 week old barnyard mix chicks. Any ideas what breed or gender they are? Thanks #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7

Hello here is my 4 weeks old Lavender Araucana and legbar I’m just wondering if they are both hens? Thank you for looking

Hi everyone, so my family and i have started raising meat birds to sell. we have about 170 at this point and we keep having a bunch of mystery deaths. Lately, we think we've diagnosed some of the flock as coccidiosis and will start treatment today. But a fair number of them have almost a flesh...

We sadly are only down to one laying hen so we decided to try again with more baby chicks. Would you suggest to still keep them (the laying hen and chicks) separate once it’s time for the chicks to come out?

This is my first time ever raising chickens and I have done so from the very beginning using an incubator. I have two buffingtons and one Rhode Island (I think that’s what they are, I’m still VERY new at this) They are about 4 weeks old, I am very excited to be raising them in my backyard. I am...

Both are the same age and same breed. .

I have been caring for these chicks in my house as I have been doing for several years. Pine shavings, clean water, good food, secure heat lamp, etc. I hatched these guys myself, and it's somewhere around my sixth time hatching? I haven't kept track. They are four weeks old as of about...

Aside for food, water, and warmth, do ducklings ever chirp for attention or cuddles from their owners?? Some of my ducklings won’t stop chirping unless I pick them up and cuddle with them, mostly at night. They’re not fully feathered yet, but I do let them outside to hang out during the day. I...

Is it common for silkies to develop combs this early? The first one very clearly had a comb while the other 2 do not. Does that mean "she" is a roo?? Opinions please!!

Hi all, I'm new here and my chicks are about 4 weeks today. One of my little ones my Maran (which I think may be a roo not sure) sneezes every so often. He eating, drinking, active, happy just notice a small little sneeze every so often. Should I be worry ? There is no ocular or nasal...

I have 6 Easter Egger chicks that are all the same age. Almost 4 weeks old. One is just not growing. It's about 1/2 the size of the others and only has a tiny bit of feathers on the tip of the wings. And the feathers it does have look weird. Should I be worried about this chick? Is there...

Hi all! I wanted to share my journey, hear from others and discuss about my chick integration to the flock. I have followed different ideas behind articles like this one: short-on-time-recycle-a-prefab-brooder The whole raising set up: From week 1 to week 3 chicks were staying inside the house...

Got these chicks recently and we are wondering what breed we have? The family we got them from said they were a bantam chicken but did not classify what exact breed they are. They are 4 weeks old now and still very tiny. The feathers they have coming in are variations of gray on their wings/tail...

I am having some trouble determining the sex of some of my 4 week old chicks. Can anyone help? I have a Dominique and Mille Fleur D’uccle (frizzled) that I’m unsure of. Seeing a lot of pink/red on the Dominique but it’s legs have a shadow grayish look to them so I’m unsure. My Mille’s cone is...

Yep! My four little ISA Browns are finally 4 weeks old! They grow so fast!! In the first and third picture I am holding one of them, and they have names I just can't remember which one I was holding lol!

I have a 4 week old black Silkie chick that I bought straight run at a day old. I know that they are very hard to sex and usually you’re not 100% sure if it’s a roo or pullet until it either crows or lays an egg BUT I would love your opinions on it! Her name is Birdie! She’s very sweet, loud...

Hi there! This is my first time raising chicks/chickens so I'm by no means an expert. I ordered female chicks from mypetchicken, and I think most of them are right, but there are two of them that I have been wondering about since almost a week from hatching. One of them is this golden laced...
