Howdee from snow covered Vermont. Got 70 female chicks from Meyers Hatched Dec 16. A few roos snuck through. Definitely one golden cuckoo Maran and one blue laced red wyandotte are male. What do you think about this one?
I was wondering if Naked Neck pullets faces begin turning red sooner than other breeds?
The first one, I still have hope for… the second, I’m loosing hope… I’m afraid I may have just hatched all roosters. (There’s 5 others that are not Naked Necks.)
So, my 24-week-old pullet (not laying yet) became very lethargic. At first, she slept on the floor instead of roosting, and by the second night, I moved her inside so I could monitor her. She stopped eating and drinking on her own, spending most of the day standing still or lying down with her...
She’s 27 weeks old, hasn’t started laying yet. Video attached because I have no idea what she is going through. She’s eating and drinking. She’s pooping. I’m in New Zealand where it’s summer at the moment and gapeworm is rare. Regardless I’ll worm her today anyway but I wondered if anyone has...
One of my 17-week-old Cornish Cross Hens (I think they are Ross 500s) laid her first egg. A tiny 30g egg! I’m quite excited haha :D.
I bought a batch of Isa-Brown day-old chicks and the hatchery had a special on excess meat birds so I bought 10 (ended up with 11, one spare). I didn’t have a good...
I have a pullet that hatched in September.
I’ve never had this. I just was wondering if anyone knows what this is or how to deal with it. It could just be her anatomy, but I’ve never had a hen with this.
My concern is that she was injured through the fence when either an owl or raccoon came...
I am having a hard time to identify the color on my 6 weeks old DNA Sexed pullet who came from a Silkie Bantam breeder’s BBSWP [Black, Blue, Splash, White, Paint] in the same pen.
I am including her day one old photo and 6 weeks old photo. I’ve had some people tell me that she may be a Splash...
Hi Braintrust,
I am new to chicken raising. Here is my flock of four. As you can see "One" and "Four" are Barred Plymouth Rocks. "Two" and "Three" are Australorpes. All are about 14 weeks old now.
May not be the best shot, but wanted to see what do you think those are? especially with the...
Hello! I am Aloha Pēpē Silkies and located in Texas.
I am currently selling my Silkie Bantam chicks [DNA Sexed by IQBirdTesting] at 5 weeks old right now. They were hatched on November 6th and 7th, 2024.
I can provide the pictures of their parents. They are from the show quality lines...
Hi all,
I have 6 purebred Wyandotte, we’re trying to figure out which are Pullets and which are Cockerels.
The going theory is photos 1,2,4 are Cockerals and the Other 3 are Pullets
Thanks everyone
I have 8 silver Lakenvelder females and 4 males. This is one of my females, her comb and wattles are coming in slightly faster than the others and it's reddish right now. The females are 4 months old, I brought her inside and I now have her on a led light. Does anyone think she will lay soon? I...
what breed is this pullet? im pretty sure she lays colored eggs
and then I have a cockeral but I thought it was a pullet and I don't know what breed it is
My Barnevelder pullet was in rough shape yesterday after an awful hawk attack. Of my 3 pullets, 1 was taken/killed, 1 (this one) severely injured, and the other unharmed. I believe the hawk attempted to get the Barnevelder first and maybe she dropped from high in the air, causing the leg to...
I currently have only one out of 16 hens laying. However, a couple days up to laying to now laying for two days, this hen has been sticking to the coop/run area vs free ranging with the rest of the flock. The run and coop part does normally stay open so the chickens can come and go as they...
Hi everyone! I live in New Zealand, or Aotearoa with my family and pets. We’ve got 5 Australorp pullets around 2 months old. We got them two weeks ago, and are loving the new addition to the family! They are free-range chickens, and we’ll be expanding their garden space in a couple of days...
Hi,
I have a 15 week old chicken, supposed to be a pullet, from hoovers Hatchery. Was in a bundle of their colored layers pack.
She is such an interesting looking chicken with a kind of poof on her head. I'm trying to figure out what kind she is, any help would be so appreciated!

So this...
I have a single whiting true blue pullet I would like to find a home for. Mareks vaccinated and healthy young bird, very cute white with tan markings. Her hatchmate was killed by my older hens in a failed flock integration and I don't want her to have to live alone.
Located in Charlotte, nc.
These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.
Age is a guess. Adopted this one. Possibly 11 was old. I have been sus of a roo since we brought the baby home lol. But I've never had this breed, or whatever it is mixed with, only Wyandottes. Legs are long and the feet are massive. The feathers seem a bit pointy in places, compared to my...
I got 5 maran chicks from TSC but only 3 survived, and two of them have white/gray legs and one has yellow legs. I'm wondering if that's a normal thing or something else.
