    Prefab coop as brooder

    Just thought I’d share. We’re on our second batch of chicks. The first group was brooded in the house from late March-May, and now we’re on our second group of littles. Since it’s gotten warmer (northeast Ohio), we decided to use a coop that was given to us as a brooder outside. The coop...

    Meyer grab bin babies - breeds?

    Took a little field trip with the kiddo to Meyer yesterday and she picked out (and promptly gave random names) to these guys from the grab bin. Aside from the two Polish, any guesses on breeds?

    Still can’t pin point breed, and what color are these silkies?

    Our six batams are around 4 weeks old (we think). Still not sure on the breed of the blue baby. I’ve included pictures from two weeks ago, and today.

    New chicks today!

    We just picked up our Meyer chicks. Our order was for 2 EEs/2 Cochins, plus we added on the free “meal maker” chick. Pretty sure we got which are the Cochins and EEs sorted, not sure on color (we chose assorted). I think #5 is our freebie, so no clue on breed. Guessing Orpington based on photos...

    Silkie sexes + name that chicken

    Hello! First time chicken owners here. We picked up our first six at TSC the other day (unplanned, but they had silkies which are my daughter’s dream chickens), plus we have a hatchery order coming this week. We know the breed/genders on the hatchery order, but wondering if anyone has any...
