    Pretender hen

    She looks exactly like pictures of crevecoeur I've seen.

    Still needs paint, but the re-siding on the big coop is done.

    Shades of Green 💚

    My olive green egg is probably my favorite color in my basket.

    Vegetable Soup Hatch-a-long eggs are here!

    Man, these little eggs have had a rough go of it. Go little eggies, you can do it!

    Hen or roo

    I don't know, her coloring looks very similar to a welsummer. I feel like she doesn't quite look like a welsummer, but not so far off that she couldn't be a hatchery quality welsummer.

    Hen or roo

    Nope, both pullets. With combs and wattles that big and red you'd be seeing pointy saddle feathers. Phoebe(? the welsummer) has female specific coloration. They should be close to laying.

    New chick, looks like a hen to me…I think?

    Female specific coloring :thumbsup She looks a lot like my olive egger, Limu.She was the first to start laying. She lays a lovely olive green egg. Best guess is that she's a cream legbar/welsummer cross.

    Layer feed??!! Mixed age flock.

    Yep, it depends on the brand. The all flock I use is, I think, about 18% protein. The chick starter is also around 18%. So in my case, the chick starter has the same amount of protein. I have seen some 19% 20% and 21% starter though which would be higher. All flock I've seen mostly 18% or 20%...

    What color to paint it - my new coop struggle!

    I like the second blue/peach combo better

    Separate flocks coexisting

    Like @Mrs. K says, subflocks like this are perfectly normal. Think of it as how like at a family reunion the kids and teenagers usually hang out with each other instead of with the adults.

    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    They ate all the oyster shell?! Ok, not quite all of it, but pretty dang close. Only two out of 36 are anywhere near laying 🤨 They must have been bored i guess? We really gotta get the fence up. Unfortunately it's supposed to rain all weekend.

    Layer feed??!! Mixed age flock.

    With a mixed age flock I would either feed everyone non-medicated grower feed or switch to an all flock feed. By 5 weeks your youngest chicks should have no problem with pellets, unless maybe they're bantams. Layer feed has extra calcium, which non-laying birds (males, pullets that are too...

    Ainawgsd's farm chickens

    Had an escapee this morning! While I was maneuvering feed and a hopper filled with oystershell through the door (both hands holding something) one of the buckeyes hopped out. He ran under the door before I could grab him and pop him back in. But he must have decided it was scary because before...

    When and where can I get forms for scholarships for big animal vet schools

    Check your state university websites. Most states all vets have to pass the same boards no matter what they plan on specializing in. And vet school is a huge time commitment. It's a doctorate degree, which means before you can apply to vet school you usually need to get a bachelor's degree...

    Is this toe issue genetic?

    And now's the part where I admit my knowledge on the matter of crooked toes is limited :oops: Again, it depends on your breeding goals, what you're hoping to achieve, why you wanted this specific roo for breeding, etc. I'm breeding mainly for meat, with a bonus of eggs, and a tertiary goal to...

    Is this toe issue genetic?

    I think you forgot to post the pictures. Whether it's genetic or not may be hard to determine. And whether or not it's a flaw to be overlooked may depend on your breeding goals.

    6 week olds gender help

    I agree, they all look like pullets to me too.

    Are bulging eyes in a chick a sign of a problem?

    That is  not normal! I'd suspect increased ocular pressure although that's usually painful so I'd also expect she would be acting off compared to your other chicks if that were the case. Whether it's increased pressure, a congenital defect, or something else entirely I'm not sure how it would be...

    hen or roo butts?

    That's looking very boyish to me. I don't see any male specific saddle feathers yet, but it's not unusual for them to take longer to come in. The comb and wattles, on the other hand, are large enough that I would be shocked if this turns out to be a pullet. The different shade of red on the...
