Hello! I have 2 Orpington chicks purchased as sexed pullets from a respected hatchery. One is most definitely turning out to be a pullet, but the 2nd is throwing me for a loop. They were extremely slow to feather, only having wing feathers in at 4 weeks old. In comparison, the other Orpington...

Hello- I have 2 Orpington mix chickens. I got them about 5 weeks ago, and they were already around 3 weeks old or so. I think the lavender one was potentially even older, so they’re both around 8 weeks old. I haven’t noticed any particular rooster-like behavior, but this is also an unfamiliar...

I have 4 Orpington mix chicks. We got them 3 weeks ago and could immediately tell they were not all hatched at the same time. The white and gray ones specifically already were mostly feathered. The two brown ones were barely feathered, but still obviously different ages. I have a lone 12 week...

We have 4 Orpington chicks that were picked out straight run. This is our first time with this breed. We thought they were all similar in age, but as it’s been 3 weeks now, at least 1 seems a good amount older than the rest. I’ve looked at a lot of age progression pictures but am having a hard...

Howdy. I have 3 chickens that are 8 weeks old, one that is 9 weeks old (the crested one). I have never raised chicks before, and I got these from a local farm as straight run. Really thinking I’m down on my luck with this batch- I originally had 8 and 4 got bright red combs really early at 5...

Hey y’all. I have 6 Olive Egger chicks that will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. 5 of them are pictured (one i am 99% sure is a hen). I had 2 obvious cockerels that I’ve rehomed already, but I’m suspicious that I may have a few more. I cannot keep roosters at all, so hoping I can narrow it down a bit...

I’ve been reading threads on here for a while, but I finally have my own chickens to give me the experience to weigh in. I recently built a beautiful coop and got 8 Olive Egger chicks. Excited to learn even more!

This is my first time raising chicks on my own and my first time with Olive Eggers. They hatched 4/10 (about 5 weeks today) except the one with the crest. Not sure on their hatch date but it couldn’t have been more than a week before the others. They were all sold to me as Copper Maran mix Olive...
