Hi All! I recently brought home this ADORABLE silkie chick from TSC 4 days ago. I’m completely in love with its colors. I’m not new to raising chickens, however somewhat novice with Silkies. Only had a couple throughout the years. I was hoping my fellow Silkie Lover Community could shed some...
Hi Y’ll! I’m in no way a newbie to raising chickens but am new to incubating my own eggs! I candled my eggs recently using an LED flashlight with new batteries. This egg is an F2 olive egger egg, bread back to Marans. I have an egg that I was hoping to get feedback on. Is this egg fertile? Is it...
Hi everyone! So I bought two F2 Olive Eggers that I was told were both pullets. I’m needing second opinions as I’m pretty sure one is a cockerel. I actually bought 8 chickens total from same person and I believe at least half are males. These two are now about 16 weeks old I think. She didn’t...
I have a Banty Cochin Roo who developed a week ago what looked like a cloudy eye like a cataracts. It's now swollen and it almost looks like the eye ball itself looks like a bulging bubble. I don't know if he scratched his eye or he got pecked, or if this is some illness or all the above for...

This is what she looked like back on the 8th of Jun:
This is what She/He looks like today:
I don't have a hatch date. but when I got it on the 8th, the lady said a week so so old.
Can anyone tell me if I have any chance that this little he/she is a pullet? HOPE SO!!!
My friend picked up a couple chicks for me and for herself. Feed store told her they were Golden laced Wyandottes. We have been googling and now we are worried. I'm hoping that they are just any type of Wyandotte at this point but they look like RIR. Can you help me out? PLEASE!!! They are 95%...
So I went out to a farm in my area and there was a bunch of chicks all kept together that were all different ages from a day old to what she said a week. I bought 2 Amaricaunas, 1 Cuckoo Maran, 1 Barred Rock, 1 White Orpington, and 1 Welsummer.
This is the Cuckoo Maran pullet is what this is...
