Hi all-
I bit the bullet on Friday and bought four baby chicks.
Elphaba and Galinda are Cream Legbars and are nine days old
Nessa is a Sapphire Easter Egger and is six days old
and Bocky is a black Austrolorp and is six days old
I've been weighing them on a kitchen scale since Saturday...
I have these two as a breed and have been searching online as to what the chicks would come out like. I now have the answer as I incubated 35 eggs and got 24 hatched. Let's just say the buff Brahma has some really strong genetics as most of them came out looking buff with beards

Hello fellow chicken owners. My mom recently gave me permission to have chickens and ready starting this amazing journey I'm planning on converting a shed into a coop & adding a large steeling wire dog kennel as a chicken run. I have been doing tons and tons of research and have learned a lot...
It has been several years since I raised baby chicks, now I remember why! I am trying to find information on raising them and forgot how to navigate BYC. HELP Susie
Hi all thank you for your advice in advance. I've had these baby chicks for a week now. There is 5 in total. One is week and lathargic since yesterday. She could barely stand yesterday. After some scrambled eggs and chick starter made into a mash in an effort to get her a bit stronger everyone...
