    Look at the size difference! DBL and BJG

    12 weeks old. Dark Brown Leghorn (DBL) and Black Jersey Giant cockerels. They are a bit different in size! Just 2 pics of the same 2 birds. BJG has a stubby tail still - definitely the slowest tail growth of all the 12 week old chicks we have. The DBL has white earlobes, so is easy to see.

    My How They've Grown! Chicks with pics!

    They keep growing, and all are healthy. They have now experienced hard boiled egg and grapes. Loved them both. All seem to be getting a long so far. Brooder needs a second roost added now that the heat plate has been removed. For size comparison, here they are in the brooder at 2 weeks...

    Dark Brown Leghorn - M or F?

    5 Straight Run Dark Brown Leghorn. Age 4 weeks - might be too young, but took what I hope are helpful pics of each of the 5 birds. Curious if we have males (odds would say we do have males), but wondering which ones. My guess is that DBL 2 is a male (but just an uneducated guess). Here are...

    Chicks with Pics! 4 Week Update - Growing fast!

    17 chicks across 6 breeds Wow! So much growth! They are turning into great little chickens. Some are straight run, so we still have some male or female mystery going on, but wattles have begun to show up and combs are becoming more obvious. They are shedding so much fluff and dander this...

    Names? Opinions/votes welcome!

    17 chicks and 6 breeds. 3 weeks old. Personalities are beginning to show up - of course as they mature, this may change, but we are wanting to name the chicks and have come up with some ideas. 1. Easter Eggers: They have muffs and look like they may get the "beards" so the 11yo wants to...

    Chicks with pics - Week 3

    Here are the babies - getting bigger and growing feathers! This week we saw many getting tail feathers and filling out wings. They are roosting on the bar we put into their brooder. They still seek out some heat under the heat plate, but most of the day they are not spending much time under...

    Chicks - with pics!

    Today we drove to pick up a mixed variety of chicks from Eagle Nest Hatchery in OH. 6 different varieties! Here are some pictures of them - to the best of our ability, we labelled them correctly, but my 11yo and I had to work quick! Interestingly, the light/white Easter Egger is curious...
