    Greetings! New mama of 13 chicks :)

    Hello! I am a new chicken owner and this forum has already become invaluable to me. My husband and I live on the Nisqually River in Washington State (hence the screen name). We have 13 chicks that are now 4 weeks (and some change) old. They have been living outside full time and thriving for a...

    Baby Chick head trauma/internal bleeding??

    HELP!! I got 8 baby chickens a few days ago from good old Tractor Supply (5 Sapphire Gem, 1 Easter Egger, and 2 Brahmas) my mother has had chickens before but these were my first very own babies. We had them in our house as they are so small and need a heat lamp still, and one of our very old...

    The Flower Flock

    I thought it would be interesting to keep progress pictures of my chicks, since A.) I'm obsessed with everything they do, and B.) I'm curious about how my Easter Eggers will change. :D I bought the first four flower girls 4 weeks ago, and the second group 2 weeks ago. Excuse the double...

    Overachiever or show off?

    I think one of my hens is trying to show off and see how big of an egg she can lay. They are all about 20 weeks old (sapphire gems) and have been laying for about a month and this is is what we found this morning. The large one is nearly 73g!

    My Flock

    Here are some pictures of my flock. They were all supposed to be pullets but as you can clearly see I ended up with one cockerel (Thanks TSC!). He is beautiful and very protective of his ladies! The 3 sapphire's are laying, sporadically. Still waiting on the WLH's to start. They are all about...

    Sapphire gems?

    These ladies are 14 weeks old. Are they for sure sapphire gems? That’s what the country store sold then as but one is a lot darker!

    I am mainly posting because I am surprised by the turn out of one of my first bred chickens (the only animals I was ever successful at breeding were guppies and gerbils, but they require hardly anything for that ). He is a cross between a Lavender Orpington and Sapphire Gem. His feathers feel...

    Can't figure out which pullets are which breed. Any thoughts?

    2 are Prairie Bluebell Eggers and 2 are Sapphire Gems. I just don't know which one is which. Anyone familiar with either breed?

    My first time breeding chickens~

    I have a Lavender Orpington rooster and Lavender Orpington and Sapphire Gem Sex-Link hens. I wondered how the chicks would turn out if I bred the two breeds together. Would they come out mix-matched, or favor one parent over the other, or would they be something else? So in February, I started...

    Sapphire gem pullet or cockerel?!

    I have two a little over two month old sapphire gems. They are supposed to be pullets but I'm a first time chicken owner so was looking if someone could confirm that. One has the really dark head and the other has a lighter head. They seem to be developing quicker then my speckled Sussex even...

    Breed Identity help! Blue Jersey Giant? Blue Wyandotte? Sapphire Gem?

    I got these from Tractor Supply 4 months ago. They were labeled as golden laced wyandottes. Apparently that was wrong. Which is perfectly fine with me because I have one of those and I LOVE the colors of these girls!?! I have included many pics to help give help for identity. Also, after all...

    Sapphire Gem Breeding

    I have my own personal flock of Sapphire Gems with both males and females. Although i have a few questions as i dive into this more extensively. Anyone one know what makes up the breed? What are they originally crossed with? Is this a breed particularly like the ISA Brown, sex-able based on...

    Sapphire Gem Chicks Sex and Age?

    Hello! I have 3 hens who I got just before they began laying this summer. They were my first chickens, and now I'm obsessed. I now also have 3 Sapphire Gem baby chicks I got from Bomgaars, straight run bin. I read every single forum post and comment about Sapphire Gems beforehand to try and...

    Sick chicken - Help please!

    Hi everyone! We woke up this morning to one of my hens laying down in the coop. She is a 20 week old sapphire gem and just started laying eggs this week. She won't walk - like her legs don't work. Her wings seem to be a little weak as well. She still has an appetite but can't move. None of the...

Then I learned there was such a thing as a Silkie Chicken. They are so adorable! Right now, I have a pair of Cuckoo Silkies. Then three...
