    Day-Old Chick ID - Legbar or Marans?

    They do very wildly. My first order from Meyer’s had a GQ and she looked like a RIR with muffs and beard. I like her so much I included another GQ with this years order and my meal maker will bring me up to three. For the two I got this year, one is a mostly black chick with clean legs, the...

    Welsummer or Brown Leghorn?

    I went back thru my pics and it didnt look like the brown leghorns starting showing white earlobes until they were much closer to point of lay. Maybe close to 13-14 weeks old or so

    Day-Old Chick ID - Legbar or Marans?

    She almost looks like she has puffy cheeks? My Meyer order on 10/14 had a Green Queen for the meal maker, and it seems they've been using that breed for a lot of meal makers lately.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Snapped a handful of pics as they are getting pretty big now. I’ll be taking the heat plate out this weekend and blocking off the communal nest box. Already I’ve seen at least River up chilling in the communal box and I don’t want to have to clean baby cecal poops out of it. When the mealworm...

    Welsummer or Brown Leghorn?

    Pics would help. They didn’t want to upload to the first post for some reason.

    Welsummer or Brown Leghorn?

    This chick is 5 weeks old and is supposed to be a Welsummer pullet. I had brown leghorns with my last batch of chicks and at this stage I honestly can’t tell the difference. Do I have to wait and see if she gets white earlobes? Or is there another way to tell?

    Does anyone have a pullet/hen available that they're willing to ship?

    Meyer Hatchery sometimes sells started pullets and will ship. It will be expensive tho.

    No Chickens in the house he said

    You know, I bet that’d make a great quail enclosure after the chicks move out…😎😎😎

    Yet another heat question!

    My first couple batches of chicks were spring hatches so they were feathering up as the weather was warming up. That made it a no brainer on when to remove the heat plate. This years batch was hatched Oct 14th...so 5 weeks old tomorrow. Their tiny 12" x 12" heat plate worked fine for the first...

    Social post! its the babies first night outside and just looking for reassurance 😂😂

    Not me over here with THREE cameras set up to check on the chicks I have brooding out in the coop. Nope. Not me. Not checking the cameras every few minutes. Nope nope nope. Mine like to sunbathe in the sunlight from their window to warm up. I think it’s cutest thing ever. Pic brought to you by...

    Run-Chicken T50 issues

    Run Chicken doesn’t make a door with WiFi. Sounds like you got one of the knock offs.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    I have a 16" x 16" plate coming. Hopefully big enough. Mean time, the chicks are feathering out nicely. The stage some of them are in tho cracks me up. The remaining chick down on their heads is like a mullet or old bald man fringe. Plus tiny heads on big fluffy feathered bodies.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Have to figure out how to fit a bigger one in the space I have. The plate in there is 12”x12”. I could maybe take a wire cutter and cut a portion of the right side wall of the crate out.

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Or maybe their count is only for day old chicks. And ignores the reality of how fast the little boogers grow!!!

    Chicken Math Got Me Bad....

    Chicks are four weeks old. It’s only getting colder. They are no longer reliably fitting under the heat plate I have. They do the musical sleeping spot shuffle all night long with chicks getting shoved out from under the plate then the ousted one buries her way back into the pile under the...

    Roosting bars

    If they have access to the outside of that coop, you may find them roosting on the roof of the coop. As everyone before has said, most chickens are going to go for the highest flattish point they can access. Coop roof. Deck railing, lawn tractor hood, etc. This was the night before my first...

    Four of the remaining ten are also feather footed so I feel your pain!
