    Any predictions for how these crossed chicks may look fully feathered/grown?

    We recently allowed a broody hen to hatch some of her own eggs; she is a blue laying easter egger and the rooster sire is a cuckoo marans buff orpington cross. The chicks all look a little different from each other and I'm really curious to hear any predictions for their phenotypes. Also, if you...

    Follow Along While I Raise Endangered Breeds

    Hello everyone! I have been slacking when it comes to posting on here. Life has just been ridiculously busy lately. I had to run a 5 day poultry show at the county fair. Now I'm back to a somewhat normal schedule again. But now for exciting news! I have acquired 2 new duck breeds! The reason I...

    Streaming

    I currently have 7 chicks under a big old broody hen. I stream this fairly often on Twitch. Pop on by if you want to take a look! There is no need to sign up to Twitch to view the stream 🥰 They are (as of the time of this post) currently 36 days old. Little teenagers now! The Blurb...

    Brahma chick genders?

    So its my first time rearing chicks and I know it's probably a bit early, but hoping someone more experienced can give me an idea, thank you. They are all Brahma around 6 weeks. I can of course take more photos if it helps. Note: #4 has a bit of wound care applied after cutting his/her comb...

    Information about Vent Sexing

    Everyone raising chicks and wondering about sexing their young chicks has heard about Vent Sexing. Whilst it's probably the most effective and most accurate way of sexing young chicks, it's also known for being notoriously hard to do for the average backyard chicken keeper and should be left to...

    Introducing chicks to flock (hatched under Broody Hen)

    I am looking for some advice on what to expect in the next steps of my flock introductions. It's my first time introducing a broody hen's chicks to the rest of the flock. I have introduced new birds before, but always as pullets, never from chicks. All hens were previously together before I...

    Ruffled feather chicks

    My chicks have very ruffled and ugly feathers. I’m thinking it could be a sun deficiency because here in las vegas, it is 100+ degrees about every day so I didn’t take them outside until they were two weeks old. I took them outside because I noticed their feathers were starting to get ugly. They...

    Anybody have this cross? Does anybody have this cross breed with some pictures, can't find anything on Google and I've just hatched 3 chicks.

    One chick won’t come out from under hen

    I’ve got three two day old chicks. Two of them come out often to eat and drink, but one (smallest) practically never comes out. When the hen stands and displaces it, it will peck around a bit but not much, preen a bit, and then instantly go back under. Is this normal?

    Chick sexing Cockerels or Pullets

    Here we go again! Got 7 chicks for you guys to throw your guesses at. This is not my first rodeo with raising chicks and if you followed my original run, I was really unlucky with the Roosters (6 R/9 H). It's time again to have a guess - I'm well aware that attempting to sex them this early is...

    I love this rooster

    I have never had a rooster before, but someone in the neighborhood needed to get rid of a little family, hen rooster and 7 chicks ask bantam, so now I have a little rooster. They haven’t figured out to go in the coop yet, preferring a rung in the enclosed yard, but look at how he covers the...

    I’m nervous about ordering chicks online

    I really do not like the idea of buying baby chicks online from hatcheries— it scares me! I want to get 6 bantam chicks (2 mille fleurs, 2 splash ameraucana, and i’m still figuring out the third breed if you guys have favorite bantam breeds!) but they’re not available to pick up in person. Any...

    Best time to get chicks?

    Struggling to figure out which time would be best to get chicks… I want to be able to incorporate them into my current adult flock by the time it starts getting warm out. I got my first flock at the end of February, and they went out in April because March was FREEZING for me this year. I want...
