    How many chicks will you hatch in 2026?

    Now that is something I’ve never heard before :lol: ! Thank you! I like to think that I’m somewhere in between, but I don’t think that’s how others would describe me. Oh gosh, I made it super confusing, didn’t I:oops:? No structure to that whole block of text. Sorry! I’m hoping it will be...

    How many chicks will you hatch in 2026?

    Spring time, and as such, chick time is slowly approaching. Rather, it isn’t really, but I much prefer thinking it is, rather than that whole winter-y mess going on outside :sick. If I am to incubate this year, I need to source eggs before summer temperatures hit. An easter hatch sort of sounds...

    Talking someone out of getting chickens

    Is this person mainly interested in chickens as livestock, or pets? Knowing why they want to get into chicken tending in the first place might help you come up with something to put them off the whole idea. Knowing what exactly that bad track record is could also help. Do they get bored easily...

    Question of the Day - Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026

    Four, I think. Not that he uses them much. He prefers the couches he’s allowed on, or the floor

    She’s really pretty. Does she lean more Ameraucana or Leghorn in behaviour?

    Rooster incompetent? Bullying?

    Huh. So the girls aren’t awfully experienced either. That would explain their fear (rather than any outward aggression towards him). If he is their first male, then it might be harder to gauge how “off” his behaviour is. They won’t know exactly what to expect, and might be tolerant of the wrong...

    Thanks! Would not have been able to guess any sort of dual purpose breed in her. She looks very lean. Those Fayoumi genes really took over!

    Roo or hen?!

    @Debbie292d , is it possible to tell gender at this age? My vote is for cockerel, but I’m not good at all with silkies, so best to hear what Debbie has to say

    Are these two araucanas also cockerals?

    Agreed. Your guesses were correct!

    Rooster incompetent? Bullying?

    It does sounds like he’s trying to establish himself. Making the hens favour him and trying to breed them, while also trying to keep the bantams away from his ‘group’ do sound like actions a young cockerel takes to secure himself the top position and the good graces of the group. Problems is...

    Are these two araucanas also cockerals?

    How old? The first is a cockerel, IMO. Unsure on the second. Can we get a better comb pic?
