These chicks were labeled as Barred Rocks. Looking at the color of their legs, though, I don't think they are. I'm curious what your opinion is? I'm okay with whatever they are, I'm just curious if they were labeled wrong
These babies are growing up! Show me yours!!
This is Olive, the Olive Egger! Curious but the least likely to let you touch her without pecking you. lol She's 16 weeks old!
Hazel. Also Olive Egger and also 16 weeks old! She is one of calmest out of the bunch!
Zoe (the mostly black one)...
I got 3 Easter Eggers and 2 Olive Eggers almost a week ago. The EE's are a week old and the OE's are 2 weeks old. I'm trying to play the guessing game on what my OE's are mixed with. I'm thinking Welsummer. That's all I got though. Do you agree with that? They're both basically twins except one...
2 days ago, around 7:30am, I heard the chickens yelling. I went outside to check on them and one was missing. Nothing but feathers in the coop. Didn't see blood or a body. Did find a small hole at the top of the run. Fixed that. My question, though, what can get in a run and out so easily? No...
One of my 4 layed the first egg today! It's so cute and tiny! I am so excited!! It will get bigger, right? lol Here it is, next to a large store bought egg. I'm even more excited that it's green!
Is it true that one row means pullet and 3 rows means roo? I was only able to get pictures of 3 out of the 4 because the 4th kept wiggling so the picture came out blurry. But out of these three I have one roo, one pullet and one I'm not sure? Or is this not a true way to tell gender at this age?
I just wanted to share my coop/run. It's not 100% done, but it's getting there. I'm most proud that I only spent just under $200! That hardware cloth is what got me. lol
Edit: I probably shouldn't post at night when I'm tired. I thought I deleted this thread. Hahaha Here's my coop/run!
I'm assuming they're EE but the store said Ameraucana. So... Which is it? Especially the white and black one. Everything I googled for both types, I'm seeing chicks that look more like the darker ones. When I google white EE, all white comes up. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure...
Hey everyone! Does anyone want to guess on gender now and see if you were right when they get older? They'll be 2 weeks old on Wednesday so I know it's too early to tell and any guesses made are just that, but I thought it would be a fun game. lol They're all supposed to be pullets by the way...
I just wanted to introduce the girls and maybe update this as they get older. :) They're 10 days old and I'm in love! 😍 No names yet. We're still deciding. lol They are pretty flighty now so if I don't hold them gently with two hands, they try to jump/fly right out of my hands. lol They're EE...
Hey everyone. My 4 chicks are 8 days old! I have a question about loud chirping when the temperature isn't too hot or too cold (I don't think. The warm side is 87. Is that good?) and they have food/water. Do they sometimes chirp loudly for attention, especially when it's only one doing it? Do...
Hey everyone! I'm Steph! I'm new to the world of chickens. I have googled a lot, researching chickens/coops/brooders, over the last couple of years and an answer from here always comes up. I started only searching my questions here because I enjoy reading the answers and everyone is so...
