I picked up my first ever batch of chickens(Tractor Supply) a couple weeks ago after the 15 I ordered online all were DOA. I got 7 total; 2 golden comets, 4 Wyandottes, and 1 Cornish rock. I cannot figure out which 2 are the golden comets or what varieties of Wyandottes I have?? Any help would...
I just read an article about their combs and waddles turning bright red right before they start laying. Is that true? My girl's are pinkish now. Should I expect to wait a few more weeks?
Hi, everyone!
I am one week into having my very first chickens! Me and my husband got 2 ISA Browns and 2 Golden Comets. They're doing very well and I am already in LOVE. I have 3/4 sleeping in my hand, and I'm having so much fun watching them run around their brooder.
Let me know if anyone...
Hola, veo que es un tema ya discutido en 2009 pero me gustaría saber si alguien más reciente ha realizado una incubación de un cometa dorado x cometa dorado y cómo han sido los resultados de estos huevos incubados. Ya que tengo una incubadora de 500 huevos y me gustaría ver si es factible...
Both of my Golden comet's faces are starting to get red. (Golden Comet's also go by the name of Cinnamon Queen, Gold Star, and Red Sex Link to name a few.) They're both very friendly, although one (Her Name is Daffodil) Is significantly bigger than the other. She has the redder face, her face is...
In early April we received a wonderful peeping box. 8 golden comets, a cinnamon queen, a speckled sussex. We were so excited to raise chicks again that we hurried them into the brooder, and after a few hours, handled the little balls of fuzz. Then we noticed something, looking down on them...
i know i’ve been posting a lot on this forum and i apologize, but this little thing might just need some explaining. in our order of 20 chicks, one of 8 golden comets looked odd- and that’s because she’s wingless! no injuries, just born with one stub of a wing, and one wing completely gone! her...
Hey All!
We have been proud chicken owners for a couple years but a few weeks ago decided to incubate and hatch eggs from our coop for the first time! We have one Rooster, an Ayam Cemani. We started with 6 eggs, so far 3 have hatched and 2 are Piping (at day 22). I would love any insight...
Hey Everyone,
My name is Travis and my fiancé and I have a little Urban Farm in Wheat Ridge, CO! Just introducing myself, so I guess I’ll go through the questions. I joined today because we decided for the first time a few weeks ago to incubate eggs from our flock and as of this morning...
This little sweetie came to my family last April and after all this time of thinking she is a Cinnamon Queen, I just want some other opinions 🙂 Thanks in advance!

I am roughly 8 weeks in to having chickens for the first time and I noticed two of the 5 breeds (I got 2 of each breed) don't appear to be uniform or look too similar. The pictures show my 2 Cream Legbars (bottom rung of ladder in 1st pic) and 2 Golden Buffs pullets are relatively different...
Hi Everyone,
I'm sure this has been asked before but I am at a complete loss. Last week I lost one of my beautiful Golden Comet Chicken. She had no injuries as far as I could tell and was completely fine that morning. At first, I thought she was just taking a dust bath as she was in one of her...
I have a golden comet named Picasso. He/she has the colors of a girl, but the body of a boy. Almost 3 months. The crown is about an inch tall! He looks like a boy and a girl. Here’s a picture:
I've spent most of my time so far in the coop/run forums and I am so excited to make the jump over to here.
I'm a first-time chicken wrangler and am set to pick my chicks up at Meyer Hatchery on May 28th (I'm lucky I live only 45 minutes away!!)
Here is what I have ordered:
4 buckeye females...
We just started raising chickens last spring and so far it has been much easier than I had anticipated. We have 4 golden comets who lay a lot of eggs! They are funny chickens. I had no idea chickens had such personalities!
