hi! I've had regular sized chickens since 2020 and since a couple have died since, I got 4 straight run bantam chicks from our local feedstore in the Los Angeles area this past weekend. Any guesses what breeds they might be? The store owner told me they were about 5-6 days old, mix of breeds...
I have a 3 week old Salmon Faverolle, I'm thinking it's a boy, but I need confirmation. It's from a breeder, who has very nicely colored SF, so the odds of it being a dark female IMO are slim but still holding out hope it's a hen. Thoughts?
So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co.
We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington.
Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅
I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
Just want to take a quick sec to rant about how HORRIBLE my pullet-to-cockerel ratio is! :he
In my first batch of 20 hatchery chicks, only 7 were pullets (and one was eaten by a neighbor's dog. :hit)
My batch of 10 hatchery ducks only had 2 hens (and one of them doesn't lay, so basically one...
I bought 4 straight run chicks that were sold as Blue Laced Wyandottes, but I am seeing two different feather patterns emerging!
Are they the BL Wynadotte and it is just the male and female feather patterns? Or is it a different Wynadotte breed?
This is my first time having Wynadotte btw 😀...

Hello! It seems to be that out of the 5 RIR straight run chicks I got, 4 are most likely male, and possibly even the 5th but still hoping the 5th is a she. They are 5 weeks old. Its my first time with chickens and was hoping the ratio would have turned out to be better. Does anyone have any...
Hello everyone! I have straight run, 6 week old Silkie chicks available. I have some blue and some white. They have been vaccinated for Marek’s. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks! (The photo is a little older.)
I recently purchased an assortment of 9 feather footed bantam chicks from tractor supply (I think they source from hoover hatchery) but I can't figure out what breeds most of them are. I would appreciate help:)
I know #'s 2,3,4 are silkies, but not the varieties. and I think 8 and 9 are either...
Picked up my surprise straight run from Ideal today all 13 survived the 2 day trip from Texas to California. I haven't sexed then yet trying to figure out breeds any help is appreciated. I have figured out there are a few different Murans in there. Thanks
hi there! looking for some help sexing my chicks! they vary in age but i believe the youngest are 10 weeks now and the oldest going on 15 weeks. It might just be me but i think they are all roos 🙈 i have 18 chicks and i’m only sure of 6 of them being pullets because they obviously don’t have any...

Straight-run of 8 production red chickens (dual-purpose) for sale in Sarnia, ON. 7 hatched June 25-26, 1 hatched June 28.
Grown chickens also shown are older siblings.
I know that silkie chicks are more difficult to figure out the gender, but about how long do I have to wait until I will be able to tell? Picture of one of my newest flock members, A naked neck partridge silky named noodle.
Bought this chicks when they were 1 to 3 days old. Straight run.
Id like to educate myself on the breeds I have.. so any guesses and which are pullets and Roos
I was just wondering if I am selling my chicks for too little, or even too much where I am at!
I sell at a livestock auction in Wister OK, and can sell straight run baby chicks for $2 a chick.
But I have also seen people sell pullets for $1 each (Rhode Island Reds), then seen people sell Roos...
Hello, I really want to get silkies. I absolutely love the look of them and have heard great things about the breed in general. But after some researching it seems you can really only get them st. run. I only want to order around 10 at the most, but what if I get like 6 hens and 4 roos? I will...
Hi
My boyfriend and I bought straight runs about 4 months ago from tractor supply during their chick days even and have come to realize they’re mostly roosters so we’re needing to find 2 or 3 hens to balance out our flock. I was hoping someone could recommend a good site to order from or knows...
So I have heard you can sex easter eggers by color. And sometimes I heard you need to wait. I am dying to find out if i have pullet or not.
I Was wondering if thr color thing is true and if so how do I tell? What do you think my 2 week old ee would be?
