    TSC might have duped me

    The issue isnt in sexing. Black sex links indicate sex after hatching automatically. The only way these two would be roos is if the breed is wrong.

    TSC might have duped me

    I bought a couple speckled sussexes and a couple black sex links. Well... the black sex links are showing some pink and comb growth at only 3-4 weeks old. Im a little paranoid that maybe they sold me black copper marans (they look very similar to black sexlinks in my experience). Do you know if...

    Once mean now nice?

    Has anyone else had a teenager that wanted nothing to do with you, would run like its life depended on it, would peck you and was generally a little A-hole, but all of a sudden is jumping on you, trilling constantly, and overall a lot more trusting? The chick that was once in with her sadly...

    Example of a frizzle polish cockerel

    I know that frizzle polish are notoriously hard to sex. Well, ive got an example for you of what a cockerel of this variant looks like. (He crowed yesterday so he's 100% a man)

    2 week old Chicks not using heat at night

    chicks are kinda.. simple minded creatures. They definitely still need heat, and are just not connecting the dots right now. Keep doing it until they get it. Or you may need to change up your method of giving heat.

    Chicks eating cardboard

    chickens are pretty destructive birds unfortunately, and there's a chance they will never stop pecking at it. I would switch it out for fabric on the outside of the crate if you have it there to contain the mess.

    Definitely not an Olive Egger!

    This is 100% a silkie. They are very hard to sex, but I'm seeing quite a bit of comb growth for 7 weeks (a roo's comb will be about 2-3x that big when mature) so you might have a cockerel on your hands.

    6 weeks showing some red already

    I have these two polish frizzles, i love them so much but one is showing some color while the other isnt. There's a tad bit of pink around the nose too. Pictures of both for comparison If they're showing color at only 6 weeks, thats a bad sign right? The one with red is a little bigger than...
