Okee dokee. I'll do what I gotta.
Duckling was cuddling a BA at the store. I just don't need six more chickens! It was so cool though. I wish I'd taken a picture.

That's a garter snake, very benign, and appears to be a pretty good size. Wow! There are several types in Pa. but there ends my input. Like the site fisherlady. Thanks!Yoopergirl...for you or anyone else interested in identifying much of Pennsylvania's creepy-crawly population...
I like this site, have referenced it many times.

I use a sharpie marker, we have yet to have a chick hatch with a tattoo.
I know, I know.....v![]()
first basket looks like CCL cockerels, second basket looks like 4 CCL or welbar pullets but not sure what else. Basket 3 is 4 girls and 2 boys lol. Basket 4 ameraucanas? Can't wait to see the poults!
The other egg is chirping like crazy. Do I have to make air hole because of bad humidity do you think?
Sadly it died
Morning all!
Well, I showed my chick picks on the "cockerel or pullet" thread and was told that 4 of my 6 Ameraucanas appeared to be cockerels. It is certainly not what I wanted to hear since that would mean just 5 out of 12 were pullets.I have ZERO luck! Last year I bought 6 pullets and 4 straight run and ended up with 5 hens and 5 roosters from the bunch...1 "pullet" was a cockerel and all the straight run were!
In the end this would give me 5 hens (4 BSL and 1 RIR), 5 pullets (3 BO and 2 Amer.) and a BO cockerel, a fine size for a backyard flock but a little smaller then I was secretly hoping for.
I guess I'll just have to get more next year...replace the 2 year old hens and add in more!![]()
What do you have on the ground for them? My chicks are 3-7 days old and with the broody that hatched them. They are just getting chick starter. I'd like to build a temp additional run for them. The coop area isn't super big and the hen and crate seems to take up a lot of the area.I think I have 4 frizzled babies!
