So my chicken groups have separate dedicated areas and coops. My LO hens are flighty and will fly out, but no one comes into their space, much less their coop to lay an egg.
With that said, I no longer have Speckled Sussex hens, but I have one or two roosters from my sweet Minnie who fell to...
Hellooo!
So I am working on a project breed and the chicks came from the same hen and same rooster. What are some reasons chicks from the same parents look different from one another? My rooster is splash, so the breeding calculator says the chicks will be blue, which 3 of them are. But the...
I originally thought this was a pullet 😒…but don’t believe that to be true at this point. I just started seeing light cream coming in the neck area and I’m wondering how this is possible with my flock. I thought the momma was a blue copper marans and the dad was my splash copper marans, but...
I’m hoping everyone can access these videos. I have four chicks hatched from my incubator. 2 eggs were blue. 1 egg was mint green. 1 egg was cream.
I have 1 chicken laying a blue egg-Ameraucana
I have 1 chicken laying a mint green egg- Favaucana
I have two chickens laying cream eggs-Speckled...

Age is about 4 weeks now...maybe 5.
First two are the chick in question. Last two photos is one of the other chicks that see.s like a solid pullet to me.
Thanks
I have been reading that young SF chick pullets can be varied in color and have no tail feathers. So I am hoping this 6-week chick is a pullet, but I’m wanting feedback. She does have some dark areas, but I don’t know if I would say they are “black”. No black on her chest. Her wings are layered...
Hey everyone! Thrilled to have a wonderful community of chicken lovers🤗 After being scammed out of $175🤨, I have been able to find reputable places to get the chick breeds I wanted and have experienced the wild world of chicken math🤪
I now have 4 pullets-one is of laying age.
4-4- week old...
So these two are about 2 weeks old. I know it is still super early, but wanted to get some feedback. I have ordered a roo just in case both of these are pullets and the roo chick is set to come the first week in April.
So here is my observation qt. Between these two, their wing development is...
