We hope it is a pullet but based on the development of the comb and waddles at nearly 7 weeks is it saying a rooster. Another indication for rooster would be the heavy white on the chest compared to the others. The breed is speckled Sussex. All pictures are of the same chicken and every once in...

We decided to try out to incubate chicken eggs this year after raising successful day old chicks last year. We also are adding are rare breed to our flock. The forum is a great help about incubation and helped overcoming the hesitation of incubating. We decided to buy the nurture right 360 and...
We have been looking into incubating eggs and reading up on it. We bought 2 incubators (Nuture Right 360 and Brinsea Maxi 24 Advance). The second one is a backup in case something happens to the other and also avoiding the cheap ones. We also got a candler and a hydrometer too as it is...
To the experts in this forums. We are thinking to add ducks to our homes and hope you can give us suggestions what breeds. The main goal for ducks is the meat but getting an extra egg for consumption would be nice. Ideally the breed is sitting on the eggs and raising the next generation. We will...

Got this young lady and soon 24 weeks old. We would like to know if she is a Mottled Anocona or a Equencher Leghorn. She was yellow as a 1 day chick with a black stripe from head to tail. Looked like someone just painted her. We don't have a picture.
We are just curious. No matter what she...
We are not sure if we got a hen or roo. It acted like a hen at the breeder. The breed is Silverrud Isabar and we are hoping to get some blue eggs in the future. The chick is now about 11 weeks old (we don't have the exact hatch date).
Hi,
Is anyone here who has experience with with the Silverrudd blue Isbar? I have been looking on the internet and all you can find is history. I like to know:
Are they fast or slow maturing?
When do they start laying?
Are they laying through the winter?
Would love to see pictures of young...
We just got 6 baby chicks of 1 day to 1 week old. The breeds are:
1 Silvernudd Isbar
2 Barnyard finds (large white egg layer)
3 Easter Egger
They are straight run. When picking did we look for the runaway / corner with back to us and if they got already tail feathers in. Definitive did avoid...

We currently have an all female flock of 7 chickens (3 of them 3 years (Buff Oprington, Plymouth Rock and White Rock) old and 4 of them are about 2 years old (Gold Laced Wyondotte, Delaware and 2 black Australop) ). We are looking to increase the flock size and possibly adding a rooster /...
I was wondering if it is possible to the spurs breaking through at 7 week old New Hampshire breed? I think I have seen them on the Silver Laced Wyondotte too.
I have seen on 2 off the baby chickens like a nail tip on the legs. We are not 100% sure about the breed and their gender.
Our baby chickens just turned 7 weeks old and we had them outside in the tractor. The weather had not been bad the last 1.5 weeks (nights 50s and day in 70s). We are getting now below freeze over night and day time in the low 50s. We do have 2 slow maturing breeds who are not fully feathered...
Already made a post about my experience and review of the Meyers Hatchery Bargain Day old chicks. We had 5 "black", 5 "brown" and 5 "yellow" one day old chickens. The yellow baby chickens have feathered legs and 2 of them have 5 toes. The rest of the shipment has clean legs and 4 toes. We have...
We are raising chickens for the first time and decided to do the Day old Bargain from Meyer Hatchery. We had been asking local breeders for pullets and chickens and were told sorry not this year. Our local TSC's sell all their chickens, ducks and turkeys within 1 hour of delivery.
The hatch...
