    Is chicken scratch okay

    Alright so the dumbest thing happened on my part. I hadn't ordered the chick feed in time and I completely ran out yesterday I ran to the store to see if by chance they had any, which they never do, and I got some scratch. My order will be here Tuesday, today is Thursday so I guess I'm asking...

    My 4 week old brahma has had an injured foot since we got her at a few weeks ago, it seems like she can't really move her toes but she's been walking on it pretty normally until a few days ago. Now shes been keeping it curled up and has been walking on her toes and she has a hard swollen purple...

    4 week old silkie sexes

    Hey there I realise the general consensus is that silkies are notoriously hard to sex, however, we have a clutch of 5 chicks that are now 4 weeks old. Two of the chicks have been consistently chest bumping and easing their wings at each other since week 2. The rest of the flock have small...

    4 week old hybrids. Pullets or Roos ?

    Hi all, I have three 4 week old chicks that I’m beginning to ponder the sex of. They are all half lavender ameraucana. First one is crossed with a barred breed of some sort, the second is a buff Orpington mix, and the last is a silkie mix. I know it may be too early to tell. Help greatly...

    4 week old black copper marans

    This is my first time with BCM and I only have one so nothing to compare exactly. S/he is very shy but the legs and comb/wattle got me leaning towards male. When s/he hatched the comb and wattle were about the same size as now but they were yellow now s/he’s sporting a very fleshy pink color. I...

    Is she actually a roo?

    We have two chicks we got as day-olds, they are both supposedly female. One is bigger than her sister and has different markings and darker beak. I wonder if some of her neck feathers also look pointed? Would be grateful if anyone can shed any light! Thank you x

    Empty nest no more but who’s in our nest?

    Hi all, first time we’ve ordered instead of buying whatever TSC has in store. I wanted a few choice breeds but also some adventure in some. Can you help me ID them, please? I’ve provided multiple poses to help. Of course, I know the 2 I chose (4th photo) but not sure about the grab bag...

    Help Sexing!

    I have a broody hen who hatched 7 eggs from a mixed barnyard dozen. I ordered the dozen from a reputable farm that has purebreds, but the dozen I got is not from there carefully separated lines and breeds, so any autosexing down patterns are uncertain. I do know some of their partial genes...

    Any Tips for Taming Chicks?

    A few weeks ago I bought some Brown Leghorn pullets from TSC. They were approximately 2 weeks old when I got them. They are now about 4 weeks old. When I reach into their pen to fill the feeder or grab the waterer they FREAK OUT. And if I pick one up and cradle it against my body it FREAKS OUT...
