Why's that? How can you tell? I have a lot of other folks here saying it is. Doesn't matter to me either way.

Mike,
For that age it may have red, but the comb should be much bigger I'd think, but i am not the chicken whisper such as a couple others are. Just my observation.

In comparing 'him' to the one in the foreground in the original pic, I question whether you've attached yourself to another chick! This one is looking more like...a chick.

Ok so here in bonner we got almost no hail and very little rain.

Great for me I have more tilling to do.

Question: I have a silky just now deciding to go broody. Dont want her sitting eggs on the floor of the coop since thats where I am getting my free tuna from. ( mouse traps) How many normal eggs can she sit?

can I put her in a box in a cage on eggs and expect her to sit them?
Suggestions on moving her broodyness welcome!

Mike if you remember this is what you had told me to do and then hen rejected the new spot why? Not real sure. Same goes for my broody now if I place any egg under her I mark them with a pencil an she rejects them all

so I am forced to use a incubator

Is it normal for a brown egg layers that has laid several brown eggs to lay a white egg? I don't mean light brown either. She laid a completely white egg yesterday. Today she laid a regular brown egg.

This is definitely the same chick. I marked his/her leg. This is a crappy cell phone photo, but yes, there is not much red there. Remember though, this chicken is not nearly as big as the others, he/she is quite small comparatively and not nearly as developed.

I don't have any guineas right now, but I sure want to get some. I had them when where I lived before and I loved them. I hatched and sold quite a few. We lost some to predators but I think now they will do better here. We have 3 great pyrenees dogs, and we have not lost ANY livestock to predators, even though most of my chickens free range, except the breeders.
