I got this chick from TSC a few days ago. She was in a bin that had brown leghorn and brahma straight run chicks. She has clean legs, so we assumed she was a brown leghorn. But I was just looking at pictures of brown leghorn chicks, and her little face looks significantly different to me. She...
Hi, I am a first time chicken owner and this morning I noticed that our 29 wk old GLW's crop has not emptied. When I felt it, it is kind of soft around the outside and hard in the middle. I have attached a few photos of her from this morning, please help as she is usually the most lively but...
I'm Mare and my husband and I started raising chickens and ducks last year. We started small with 3 hens and a roo and then added some meat birds as well as more Pekins to go with our duckers (Pekins and Rouen) last summer. We got hooked and have added around 2 dozen new chickens to our flock...
I have 4 week old chicks of different heritage breeds and wondering if it's too early to sex them. Any help greatly appreciated, even if I have to wait :)

Hey Everyone, we are pretty new to chickens and were wondering about breeding. We have a lavender orpington rooster. We have heard that a lavender would produce black offspring. Our hen breeds are golden laced wyandotte, silver laced wyandotte, rhode island red, butf brahma, gold sexlink, and...
Hello all,
I have 2 Plymouth Rock pullets and a PR rooster in same coop as 3 Gold Laced Wyandotte hens and a GLW rooster.
The GLW hens have been laying for about 3 months but the PR pullets haven't started laying and are a similar age.
The PR rooster is huge and crowing but i haven't seen him...

Hey everyone! I posted on here earlier today trying to see if my Freckles is a roo or hen. I took some more photos for hopefully a better view. He/she will be 4wks on Thursday. I know it may be too early, I’m just curious and having fun! I’m posting again because I wasn’t sure if I needed to put...
Does anyone know where I can obtain pictures of the different breeds of chicks I have, at multiple stages? I am finding 1-day-old chick pictures and adult pictures, nothing in-between. I'm trying to figure out who is who as they grow since I seem to have ordered multiple breeds that look so...
Hi! I am brand-new to raising chickens and realized not long after I got my chicks that they may not be what the feed store said they were. Also I read the hatchery they came from may not be the most reputable. I believe they are 4-5 weeks old and I think I have two Welsummers, three SL Polish...
I bought what I thought was a female black Australorp from my local feed store. She was in the same bin as mixed-sex GL Wyandottes. Since this is my first foray into raising chickens, we didn’t want to have a rooster. She was all black when we bought her at approximately a week old, but now...
