    I’m a 5 week old Blue Star, but am I a girl or boy?

    Hello. I have a blue star chick that’s 5 weeks old. I have never bought a chick before but I have a broody hen that I can not break-she’s been broody since the end of December. I can’t have another rooster since I already have 4, so I gave in and bought a baby chick, which she did not accept. So...

    Mystery Bin at Peavey

    I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...

    Rural King Chicks - What are they?

    So once again I feel like I have been duped by the hatchery that Rural King uses! These are my "teenagers" that are about 3 months old (born in April) I picked out and bought 4 Cuckoo Marans, 2 Sapphire Gems and 2 Easter Eggers. One of the EE died after a week so that is why I only have 1 now...

    What breed is this? TSC label error? And gender?

    I bought these two chicks as “Cuckoo Marans” from TSC. 🧐 I’m guessing Sapphire Gems or something similar? Also, the combs are still super duper small but are those red waffles coming in strong trying to tell me something? Nearly 6 weeks old. Any guesses for gender and breed?

    Concerning eggs from a sapphire gem

    I have three wonderful hens, after losing one suddenly at 9 months a few weeks ago. One of my ladies, a large light sapphire gem, has been laying terrible eggs for about 2 months now. Cracks, folds, bulged out, rough texture.. and HUGE. Wanting to know if it’s illness based, or anatomy based...

    Family project

    My daughter and I are starting to raise chickens for eggs and entertainment. We have read a lot of tips on the internet about runs. I put some logs, stumps, big rocks and planted them a veggie garden. Anyone have any tips on how to get the shy chickens to interact with the other chickens and...
