I have a small flock of Barnevelder chicks around four weeks. One splash, one blue and the rest silver laced. I think two of them are cockerels due to their combs being a little bigger and have red. The feather patterns on them don’t look like what they should be as adults. Is the first batch...
Howdy BYC-ers! This forum was my social outlet ten years ago when I moved home and returned to chickens from the city.
A visit to my posts here reminds me how chicken therapy got me through some rough years.
I started raising chickens as a kid and I wanted to share my top things that I...

Hello, my baby chicks are just a little over 4 weeks old. I noticed when i went out into the garage they were huddled in the corner of the box and not using the plate. They were not chirping and have noticed them again like that tonight (pic attached) its about 50 degrees in there at night...
Hi,
Sorry to ask a question straight away but I’ve searched the forum and can’t find anything specifically on this topic.
I have a lovely, very maternal Light Sussex who went broody three weeks ago and I snuck 6 Barnvelder eggs under her. She sat on them like a champ but unbeknownst to me...
I am sure there is a post somewhere about this but I couldn't find it.
I have 1 adult (1.5 yrs) hen and 2 5wk old chicks. While I am not new to chickens in general I am new to the ins and outs of young to adult introductions.
Question being, how and when do I put them together?
Right now...
Hello Fellow Chicken enthusiasts 🐣🐔. I’m a new chicken Momma. I have 2 white Leghorns who are about 12 weeks old. I hatched off some Rhode Island Red and Bantam mix Who are 4 weeks old. My little babies want me to hold them all the time. It was difficult to get them to sleep in their Brooder at...
Got this chick with 11 different chicks from Rural King. They’re all about 4-5 weeks old. This ones about half the size of every other chick but feathering out around the same rate. Has pale/grey clean legs and rounder in the back with small tail feathers just coming in.
I dont know the breed of my 5 week old chickens but i think they are black copper marans but one of my 4 marans looks like a rooster. Its comb is much larger than the other chickens and its tail feathers stand higher up. Help me.
Hey all, I've come here for a lot of research and looking up knowledge and I'm in need of some advice.
I haven't had chickens since I was a child, so I really don't know what I'm doing, this has been a huge educational site, so thank you all for your posts and comments!
I have an Easter Egger...

Our hen gave birth to three chicks, two of them hatched in time, one was delayed by some hours but he managed to hatch by himself, then we noticed that eventhough as a baby he was the healthiest, he was growing really slow, like the other chicks are a rooster and a hen, they are both ready to be...
Hello everyone! I have two bantams and have room in my CT backyard for maybe 3 more bantams/small standards at the most. Preferably two I think. Does anyone have any available for sale?
I really don’t want the little babies to deal with long shipping through different states. If pick up is an...
Hi all, I have 2 barred rocks and 1 buff plymouth... they will be 4 weeks old this coming week. Can either be sexed? I'm pretty upset thinking that my 2 barred are cockerels as my oldest daughter and I were hoping to have a "zebra chicken" hen 😔 the other is a buff Plymouth and I have no idea on...
My pullets are almost 6 weeks old and getting very restless. Can I move them outside at 6 weeks, even though it is in the 40's outside? I live in Chicago.
We are proud new owners of 20 chicks now 4 weeks old. We have four Welsummers in our flock although I have my doubts on whether our Audrey is in fact a Welsummer or something else. She has a speckled head and lighter in color when compared to her sisters. At first I thought she was in fact a...
