Yes! I added Some to my post. Thanks!!

This is one…they all look the same.

I have Marans chicks from the assorted Marans bin. They could be either French Copper Marans or Midnight Majesty Marans from Hoovers Hatchery. My question is will I be able to tell which one I have? They’re about 5 weeks old, solid black and have feathered legs and feet. I’ve read a black copper...

I was at the farm store today and picked up some assorted colored egg layers. These are from Hoovers Hatchery. One is yellow with a few black spots. The employee thought it was a prairie bluebell egger. Has anyone seen one with this color pattern?? I’m suspicious because last week they had...

I have a variety. 2 buckeye( the other chicks), 3 Easter Eggers, 1 brahma, 2 Isa brown, 2 RIR, 2 Australorp, and 5 Asian black! I started out with a small flock of 6 isa brown about 6 years ago then chicken math happened lol

It’s not alone. It has two other chicks with it, then later will join my 15 grown chickens.

This chick was given to me. It’s just a barnyard mix but I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on what it could be. It doesn’t look like any chick I’ve ever raised before. It’s really tiny too. Thanks for any input!

Thanks for the insight. I ferment my feed so I have been giving her wet food and a deeper dish of water. So far I’m just watching and waiting to see…I have 15 grown chickens that range from 1 to 5 years old and just the two chicks still in the brooder. My hope is if she gets bad and needs to be...

One of my two chicks developed a cross beak at three weeks old. I have been observing her over the past few days and she seems to be doing ok. She is eating, active, and playful with her sister. My concern is her water intake. I haven’t actually seen her drink, or attempt to drink. I first...

Well, it is a light brown egg...a little disappointed it’s not the typical blue/green...but so happy it’s really a girl!

I will update once I get an egg! Thanks everyone for the help. Now to get the treats out and start working to tame her, for lack of a better word!! 😊

I’m still trying to figure out what my Easter egger is. It’s the most standoffish and flighty of my birds. It has a very red comb but it’s definitely a single ridge and not the three rows of peas associated with cockerels. I’d just like to know so I can either start finding it a home or start...

8 week old Easter egger. I purchased it as a pullet, but it’s behaving differently than the others and has the reddest comb. Also curious about my 10 week old light Brahma.

Thanks for the helpful photo. I can definitely see the difference!
