UPDATE: Never mind this post, lol.... I don't know how to delete it. I know it isn't a Jubilee because it was not a yellow chick.
I have been looking online, trying to find anything that would show me, side by side, the differences between a Speckled Sussex and a Jubilee Orpington.
I have what...
I have 2 pullets my husband picked up at the feed store, Sold as dorkings. They are mottled so I'm thinking speckled sussex? I wouldn't think jubilee orpington would be sold at a feed store. What breed are they?
I am so confused about these two babies. They are 8.5 weeks old. Ive had people tell me pullets before, but now some are saying they both look like cockerels. What do you all think?
Hello! I posted these two before but they were a little young still. Here they are at 6 weeks. I’m thinking the first one is a pullet and the second is a cockerel, but just looking for second options. Thanks!
I purchased a mixed flock of chicks from TSC on April 1, at which point they should have been no less than 4 days old (but possibly older??).
My two "sexed Welsummer Pullets" are developing at vastly different rates and in another thread many thought the more developed Irma might be a roo. But...
I've been reading various threads on this site for a little over a year, and I thought I had signed up a while ago, but apparently not!
We live in the PNW, and have a growing flock! Here's what we've got currently:
1 Giant Blue Cochin - Rooster
19 mature/laying hens, including 1 Silver-, 1...
Hello. I moved to the country a year and a half ago, and finally have time this summer for a garden and some chickens (not together, I've heard).
Last week, I bought eight 2-to-3-week-old chicks: 3 Black Wyandottes, 2 Ameraucanas, 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. These are living in my...
Just had to share some pictures of my morning... My order from McMurray Hatchery is in. I ordered 12 Speckled Sussex, 6 Columbian Wyandottes, 7 Pearl White Leghorns (of which there are actually 8, they sent an extra. And then the rare chick that I now think is a Sultan. All chicks alive and...
My little ladies have not been interested in treats. After many attempts I finally got them to have some plain yogurt today, after sprinkling some Scratch and Peck herbs on top. Nutritious, messy and entertaining!
I just discovered on day 13 that our humidity has been wrong for our incubating eggs.
Please help!! I need to know what can be done to help our chicks grow healthy air sacks.
Humidity was 75-90% for these two weeks. Now that it is empty of all water, humidity is down to 30%
What can I do to...
Deciding whether to experiment with Speckled Sussex Rooster w. Salmon Faverolle Hens to create Red Sex Links but I can't find any info from anyone who has done it, nor have I found any pictures.
Thanks in advance for any info!
I’m the happy mother hen to 20 fluffbottoms who will be 4 weeks old in a couple of days. I purchased the Ornamental Layer baby chick assortment from Murray McMurray and have been trying to identify several of the breeds. So far I have identified for certain:
1 buff laced Polish
1 gold laced...
Can anyone help me identify these hens?? I’ve had them since chicks, and they were “supposed” to be speckled Sussex (though the one I knew for sure was a Sussex sadly didn’t make it). These birds have no white speckles but have not yet molted. I have three of them - from Murray McMurray.
My...
