    Thanks for the info. Did you notice longer tail feathers at any point? My darker one makes me wonder.

    Sapphire what and sex help

    Got 2 chicks from TS a month ago for my broody. They’re supposed to be Sapphire Olive Eggers and pullets. Since they look so different from each other I wonder what they are and if I got a cockerel. Thanks for any help!

    Weird broody Marans

    I have a year old Copper Marans that went broody and I couldn’t break her. We wound up getting her 2 babies from TS. They took to each other right away and she has been wonderful with them. They are raised with the flock. The thing is they were 31 days old yesterday, and she is already back to...

    What time of day is best? chicks under broody hen

    I agree with both the above posters. We put 2 under our broody on 5/28 around 10 pm. I slipped out the wooden eggs and tucked the chicks under her. She flattened like a pancake and started talking to them. 🥰 They stayed with mom and the other 3 both in the run and in the fenced area. Haven’t...

    Too cold?

    We have a shed similar to yours. We put 4 round vents in the walls and added a solar exhaust fan that has a battery backup so it runs all the time. My girls roost over a poop tray and I hang a flat radiant heater behind them. Right now it’s 15 outside and 26 in the coop. The humidity is 54...

    Tetracycline powder syringe dosage-egg peritonitis

    I could use some help figuring the dosage for my 5.5 pound GLW with egg peritonitis. The prescription is dosed on the label as 1 tbsp per gallon but I don’t want to treat everyone I have a scale that measures grams if needed Thanks for any help for my pretty girl.

    Approximately how old are they? I am looking for just one. I don’t know if you’d want to “break up the band.” 😜

    Is she a Buff Orpington mix?

    Thanks everyone! The consensus says Easter egger! 😍 She gives us these cool speckled eggs. And she has spurs!

    Is she a Buff Orpington mix?

    I picked up a new to me chicken. They told me she is a BO but I’m not that familiar with them. Her back and tail feathers are darker and she has dots of darker colors on her neck and head. Plus, her face feathers are all sticky outy 😊 she kinda looks like she’s coming out of a molt? Can someone...

    8mo old stopped laying but visits nest box

    Diva is fine- except her shelling gland didn’t magically fix itself so every few days I pick up her “egg” from wherever she drops it. She’s only done it once in the nest box. She does still go in there, happy as a clam singing to herself and comes out all proud, even though there’s no egg 😊...
