So basically I need to wait for further development before sexing? 🥲🙃

Man there’s so many people so sure of themselves about this 😂

Hi all! I have 8 babies that came out of the incubator yesterday-hatched the 31st of May. I’ve heard females wing feathers start to develop before the males? That’s the general consensus it seems in the FB groups anyways lol. I’m attaching pictures of the babies. Please excuse their sores. I...

Breeder said he’s “pretty sure” this is a pullet. It’s a silkie mixed with a satin I THINK. I’m thinking roo 😂 what about you?

I actually made a post asking this same question earlier!! Fingers crossed for you

Next year we are going to put up a hot wire around a part of the yard. As of right now the chickens don’t care if a fence is in the way lol

They had them for too long and needed to get rid of them

Well at least I only paid .85¢ each for them 😵‍💫
