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...

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!

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...

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...

These birds have me totally confused. They were purchased as pullets but I am worried about their comb redness. I’m new with pea combs and EEs...so any help?? The gray one is Skunky, the lightest one is Gertrude, and the one with the reddish head is Treehouse. They are 7 weeks old.

Update from last weeks photos. It’s supposed to be a pullet but the color in the comb has me wondering. This is my only Brahma, so nothing to compare. Thanks for any input!

Any thoughts on gender? I got this chick at a feed mill that only sells pullets. However I’m starting to question because of the color appearing in its comb. It’s the only Light Brahma I have so I have nothing to compare it to. I know it’s mostly a wait and see...but the suspense is killing me...

Mystery bird! I ordered 10 Asian black pullet chicks from Hoover’s Hatchery. One turned out not to be an Asian Black. However I’m not sure if it’s a barred rock or a black sex link cockerel?? It did not have the white head spot as a chick so br?? I don’t have another to compare it to but I’m...

My chicken is acting weak and sick. I found her just laying in the coop this afternoon, which is not normal. If I get her up she will walk a few steps spread her wings and collapse. She then just lays there. Her head is up and she’ll eat and drink. I have found no injuries on her. I don’t worm...

We purchased 10 Asian Black Pullets from Hoover’s Hatchery. Two are developing differently than the rest. One has very short tail feathers, bare spots on both shoulders, and is not feathering as quickly as the others. The second one is developing a barred pattern with white rather than all...
