They are beautiful, and I wish I could help, but questioning my own knowledge of sexing mine. Good job mine are cute and staying regardless. (They are the first and for the moment the last ones hatched from my own birds.)

Is there a skill to catching your teenagers to put them to bed? Besides the chase! The older girls are grain oriented, the babies too, but the teenagers enjoy the freedom when the big girls have gone to bed lol. Chasing teenagers is tiring, though to his credit, tonight it wasn't the young...

Thank you, I've been calling my girls hens when they're technically pullets. I hatched all mine so they were in the house and my 3 cats got used to them, but they wouldn't have survived without being contained. I guess a lot comes down to how they fit into your life. So long as the dogs are...

Me no, but my sister did it lol. He's called Riker cause it was 'chickie number 1' as I talked to them and turned the eggs lol.

Though this probably isn't a valid entry, we went from 'pretty with an attitude' to 'a scaredy cockerel'!

What does watery pooh with white indicate? Mine are layers and they seem to expel 'uncooked fried egg'

So sorry for your loss. Hope that's all you lose. :(

I though I'd look up Easter Eggers, and it's a possibility. But who knows lol.

Somebody suested Ezzy could be a golden lace wyandootte mix, but nothing on Mo yet. But I love them regardless.

Gorgeous!!! Sorry I don't have an answer though.

I wouldn't call them coloured persee ... but colour-blind. 😊

I have been asked to share images to find out what my girls are. They came from different coloured eggs, and they lay different sized eggs. I got them off ebay as 'various egg colours'. Ezzy, my no1 has the 'bad hair do' and 'golden necklace', and Mo my no 2, (and possibly mum to my last...

Stupid autocorrect. It should have said maran. She's certainly not laying the same colour egg she came out of. If I'm wrong and she's not a Maran, can anyone clue me in? Sorry it's not a great picture. Legally blind, so I just point and shoot lol.

She's very beautiful. From what I'm seeing in the replies it seems I may have a copper marine. So chuffed, the eggs were just sold as 'various'. And one of her babies has her colouring too. Very happy chicken mummy.

I would guess Cockerel, but I have gotten my guesses wrong in the past. Good luck.

He was almost 9 weeks old, and was in his coop, enclosed run with his 3 siblings and apparently his big sister (teenager). People around me think it was possibly a rat, as there was no way a fox or cat could get into the enclosure. Getting past the shock now, it's part of life. I'd called him...

I lost a baby this morning. His head was missing. Was this his siblings after death, or something else had it? Sorry, I'm still in some shock.

Newbie here ... how do you know if a hen is broody? Other than my matriarch making 'googling' noises when I put these last batch of babies in and she didn't want to kill them. Her 'sister' on the other hand wasn't so keen on this batch. But how would I know if my girls were broody, and how old...

I spend a lot of time asking Google what is safe for my babies to eat. I know there are many others on here with much more wisdom about raising chicks than I. I hope someone can answer your question. 😊
