surprise

Hi everyone, I recently have my chicken inside my home, because of a recent bumblefoot scab removal Original thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/bumblefoot-week-after-scab-removal.1557084/ Well he’s been inside sense 12/02 per vet request, things have been going great...

So I went out to the chicken coop probably about an hour and a half ago. While I was out there, I checked for eggs (there were none) and cleaned out their water container... I noticed one of my olive egger pullets acting funny... she was being very vocal and going back and forth from the water...

As per my usual with some chicks i bounce back and forth on the fence if it's a girl or a boy. This one had me thinking male at first but now I'm not so sure. It has the same comb and wattle growth rate as my leghorn mix. It just grew its feathers out VERY slowly. Sorry it looks so possessed in...

Well, my young serama sisters (just weeks after their first pullet eggs were laid!) decided to have some chicks without my permission when I got sick in December. Sneaky girls. When I got sick, I only checked chicken food & water once daily (mornings) instead of also counting all my chickens and...

Hi all, I was in the process of hatching some cream legbars and this little one popped out. It does have certain markings but it is a completely different colour to any other cream legbar I have seen. Any ideas what breed it might be or is it perhaps just a very blonde legbar? They hatched on...

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

I am new to true blues! They are simaler to easter eggers/americaunas, etc. in the sense that they come in many colors and variations. I purchased them from McMurray hatchery. I narrowed down my mystery chick down to one of these three....Can you help me? Which 2 are true blues and which one is...

Today I went out for a routine check-up on the birds, and I brought some nice treats along with me. As the chickens flocked over, I got a surprise in the form of a flash of red under my Polish boy's crest! I fed them all, then picked my boy up for a closer inspection, AND BY GOLLY, HE'S GROWING...

So, this morning we found a nest under a tree, and it had 8 white eggs under it, but they were kinda small, and we only have 2 things on our farm that lay white eggs, we have 1 white Leghorn pullet, and a pekin hen, I don't have pics, im gonna be gone just about all day today, and i dont know if...

So... This might sound silly, but is it known for month old chicks- cockrels and pullets to start showing sexed behavior? My chicks are becoming nice and tame, which is great for me. I'm not 100% yet who's a roo or hen, but I have a good guess so far. Today, I scooped up one of my potential...

i have 10 ladies. I got 9eggs today!! Although it was a bit of an Easter egg hunt! Lol. I found 1 in the yard in the mud as if she was just walking along and dropped it. I found 1 on the shelf they lecture me from and all the rest in the nests. I love them they are so sweet! They hop on and...

We ordered nine chicks from Ideal Poultry. They are a week and 3 days old. We purchased 2 New Hampshires, 2 Black Australorps, 2 Barred Rocks, and 2 Easter Eggers, along with 1 pullet surprise. We thought we had figured out the surprise but when they started feathering on their wings, that...

i had ordered what I thought were Rhode Island Reds, for larger eggs. Did my normal chick incubation, lockdown, etc. they didn’t hatch and I then got busy with work (on-call, mandatory OT) and my wife’s IVH (trying to hatch our own eggs). This morning I hear peeps from the basement, and imagine...

So here are some pictures from today, they are 5 1/2 weeks old!!!! Please tell me what breed and gender you think they are, best guesses welcome!!!!
