Hello there chicken experts! I have three 5 week old chickens I’m unsure about and would love to hear your thoughts… Chickens #2 and #3 are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans (pullets)… or so they were labeled. I’m beginning to think they’re actually Dominiques. Their combs and leg color aren’t...

Hello all! My four girls are 22 weeks today received as day old chicks on 6/13. My Cuckoo Marans, Juillet, has become much more vocal this past week and is squatting when we go to pet her. She always crouched and tried to slink away, but now she sometimes just stands still and gets really flat...

Hi all! Just wondering about how healthy runts grow in comparison to other chicks of the same age. Can anyone please share their experience with me? I have four chicks just over a week old. One is a rather small Dominique, but she is feathering out nearly as fast as the other girls, though just...

Hey everyone! I used to be a big fan of this thread when I had chickens years ago. It’s been a busy few years which resulted in me selling everything I had. Well, I’m back in the feather business I guess you would say. Anyways, it’s good to be back with fellow chicken members again. I just...

I'm CC and this is Agathae in my flower garden

Hatched two roosters and can only have one. He’s docile and is just coming to maturity, sweet guy. Will be great leader for flock!

Did my splash copper maran lay this? Or could it be my Dominique? The other chickens I have don’t lay brown eggs. Myp starlight green eggers lay green eggs. Or could it be that my splash is not a copper marans after all. 😂 Uploaded photos of the egg (blurry, sorry) and of the splash chickens...

I have 5 little Dominickers aged almost 6 weeks. They are 3 cockerels and 2 pullets. I've named only one - Daisy, my grandmother's name, who kept these chickens for years. Now take a look at her. She is the girl on the right with what appears to be yellow bars on her neck. I've not seen this...

Purchased at TSC about a month ago and one of them seems slightly different and lighter in color , different markings around eyes as well. Is it a roo? Or is it maybe a Plymouth Rock ? I included many photos from over the past month. You will see the one that I suspect is a roo or not a...

Hi y’all, we have come back again to see if anyone has any good guesses on breeds of this our black chick ☺️ It’s 3 days short of 5 weeks Thanks 🥰

Hello! I have an enormous 2-year-old RI Red who lost a toe in her first summer, 5 Dominiques, and four 4-5 wk old chicks (2 Easter Eggers & 2 Wyandottes). I’ve gotten tips from this forum for a few years now(thanks!), but only recently made an account. I recently read somewhere something like...

I’m thinking this is a roo but it seems a little darker than most….. what ya think?

New members here!! So recently me and my girlfriend decided to get six chicks from our local orschlns that said four were barred rocks(other two rhode island reds) but after reading some on here I fear this may not be correct. I read barred rocks are supposed to have yellow legs but these are...

A very fluffy baby chicken!

I am totally new to chickens and my Dominiques are 3 months old now. I'm wondering, about when are they full grown and/or how large should I expect them to be? I know that Dominiques are slightly smaller than other breeds, and I know "five pounds" is a weight estimate, but I am clueless to the...

Kept a count of eggs from my layers this (Dec 12-18). All the birds are less than a year old. I have 2 breeds of ducks and 4 breeds of chickens. All my birds forage freely on my 5 acres during the day except my Rhode Island Reds who have a run. Best layers were my Welsh Harlequin ducks. I have...

:frow:frow Hello everyone! Happy Holidays! I'm trying to plan ahead of time and figure out my game plan. So I'm searching early as I plan to acquire probably Feb.-Mar. '22. I've looked at hatcheries and either they don't have what I want in hatching eggs or after doing research, their...

Pretty Pepper. ❤️

Lovely Salt. She was so young!
