Hi,
Looking for some opinions on my chicks, they’ll be 10 weeks old in a couple days. Got them from My Pet Chicken as pullets.
Daffodil - an Easter Egger
Cookie - Speckled Sussex
Blueberry - Barred Rock and Lavender - lavender Orpington
What does everyone think? I am thinking all are...
10 Welp Assorted Brown Layers, Sept 21st hatch. $10 each. 10% discount for buying at least 5.
I bought Blue Australorps and Asst. Brown Layers. You can see their development thread here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/25-from-welp.1494343/
Among the available chicks are:

Our broody hen hatched 4 chickies and while we thought 3/4 were cockerels for awhile, is there any chance we could have a couple pullets in there? So far no cockadoodling and after a few pecking contests, everyone gets along.
Asking because we are going to take on a few additional laying hens...
My barred rock Tanya Harding has a dry patch just north and to the side of her tail feathers. She’s laying, eating, and drinking. She’s top of the pecking order and no one messes with her ever. I have six hens, no roos and I’ve sat out here hanging out and observing them so I know she’s not...
Besides my Rhode Island Reds my Comet Lays reddish/orange eggs well. Either my white leghorn or barred rock started laying . What chicken do y’all think later it?
We got three Barred Rock pullets (maybe 10-14 weeks old) recently and I spoke for two Salmon Faverolles from the same place to be picked up later. I only researched breeds that would be good with children. Not with each other 🤦♀️
We brought the 6 week old Faverolles home last weekend and...
Got these barred rocks yesterday and the larger of the three seems a bit different. These are our first chickens so I’d like to see what you guys think!
Does “she” look different because her legs are a different color or maybe a couple weeks older?
1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
A pullet, barred rock, 17 weeks old. Yes it did feel thinner than the others.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She was letargic, tilted her head, was, reluctant to move, had diarrhea...
Hi there, I'm a brand new chicken Mama in Penngrove, CA. I'm stealing Niffty Chicken's Intro template to help me out with this intro... :)
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, brand new! I've had my chicks for almost 4 weeks.
(2) How many chickens do you have...
To start things off I can't say my barred rocks are anything special. They're all from backyard breeders so far as I know, and what offspring I've hatched myself.
My highest goal is for non-aggressive roosters.
However I'd also like to breed my birds toward the SOP. Even if I don't end up...
Hi! I’m Cecilia! I currently have 8 hens, one barred rock (Ruthie), 2 sex-link (Dorothy and Barbara), 3 EE (Leia, Sally, and Chermie), and 2 OE (Tina and Nayna). As you can see, my 4 year old took great pleasure in naming some of them 🤣. I’ve been at this about 6 months, having acquired my first...
I recently got two, 2 month old Barred Rock Pullets, and was wondering if they truly are Barred Rock?
Compared to my other two 5 month old Barred Rock chickens, my two month olds have lighter legs. They do have the dark splashing though…So, I believe that they are Barred Rock, just maybe have a...
