How old in this picture I’m trying to gage against my Barnie ??

I’m in the same boat. I have a 7-8 week old Barnevelder and it looks not like this one but I have my suspicions as well I’m going to have to post a picture of mi e and jump in here cause I’m completely confused about 4 of my birds. Another I believe is a hen but she has an attitude if she is...

I just starting looking up chickens everytime I saw one and I see what breed and then I read everything I could find … I still learn something new everyday I’d look up black chickens and research each one then white chickens fluffy chickens chickens with Mohawks etc etc 😂😂

Why do you s ay cockerel? I have Barnevelder and it looks like this but it’s female …. Curious ?

Looks like a hen to me. No hackles no red comb …. Hen like tail.

I’m a run chicken gal. We researched and checked and asked around and for the cost (130 but always on sale like now for 109.99) we got the battery one it has a timer you can set or it will open and close morning close at around sunset You can program time that works for you too. I’ve had...

No they lay green blue brown etc

I had a two week old and a few 1 week old and added 2 babies. All is fine ! Now they are 4-5-6 weeks old and all is good my one girl is smaller then rest but the rest kinda caught up and she isn’t grossly smaller just a lil but she is feisty 😂 she holds her own even against the big girl...

I actually have same question I have currently 7 hens that are 8 months old …. I have chicks that are 4-5 and 6 weeks old one chick was already 1 week a EE when we got her and she is a lil bigger and is about 6 weeks but a few have since pretty much caught up in size and they are a Wyandotte...

I have one like this now at 3 weeks she is finally just starting to get a lil bigger she is tiny compared to the rest but she holds her own and is thriving I noticed over this week she actually got bigger all of a sudden but I thought she was gonna get mowed over cause the others would run right...

It looks like a satin silkie. Mine are silkies but in is a regular silkie and one is a satin so she has feathers not fluff 😂

How old was the polish? Honestly a lot of chicks don’t make it for failure to survive especially if young. Li hear people all the time with lamps or plates that lose a chick I’ve been lucky ( thank goodness) but even when my temps were not at 95 I had no problem … generally if a hearty...

Me too I added suggestions on how to get it a lil warmer. I am not sure most people realize there are two settings in most heat plates

No turn to brooder temp instead of heater and keep the way you have it on angle it will stay 85 under there and then raise as they get older change temp by 5 degree a week till fully feathered about 5-6 weeks … which they will probably want no heat by about 5 weeks anyway to 6

Set it to heat rather then brooder most have two settings and that will bump it also invest 20-25 and get a auto thermostat that will go on and off at set temps I put a box over mine as well with a lil door cut out to make like a lil coop 😂 and it stays 93-96 under the plate … mine are now 2...

I use plate and have never had a problem I use a auto thermostat which keeps it at temp and just to be sure I put a box with a lil door cut out over top of plate when outside and it stays toasty warm in there …. If your that concerned put the plate to heat with a auto thermostat instead of...

My buffs lay bigger then RIR and my sex links lay a egg a day and x large bigger then my normal RIR egg alone but the RIR are good for 5-6 a week and are decent large eggs. My Wyandotte and my buffs at x large though

Probably meant teal

I’d say the one with puff on head is mixed with gold laced polish

Mine look even more different and I know two are mixed with Ameruacana the other no idea but they are still small
