I’m questioning. Should be a pullet but comb color and leg thickness has me worried. I can’t have a rooster so trying to prepare. Thanks for any input!! Waiting is hard😂
Thanks!! All true, I just find it suspicious how she started out as a brown chick. Regardless of the large amount of red mixed in with their adult plumage my BSL chicks have always started out as black chicks. There isn’t one black feather on this bird. Either way she’s a good girl. Im just...
I suppose she could be a BSL. However, I’ve had a couple dozen of them over the years and while all ended up with red feathers mixed into the black they always started out as black chicks. This one was a reddish brown from the beginning and has not a trace of black on her. She came from my...
Very curious what breed this is. Was sold as a black sex link. But it was a reddish brown baby chick. This is her at 4 weeks. Just to note, it did not have chipmunk markings as a chick. Which seems to rule out everything I’m finding that looks similar. Also, no fluffy cheeks to mark EE and it...
Given to me from the black sex link bin at tsc. It’s a really pretty brownish red. But looks nothing like the other 5 chicks that are black sex link. Any thoughts what this could be?? Or is it just an odd color sex link chick?? Thanks so much for any insights!! I’m excited to watch it grow and...
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
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...
