    Is my 2 week old colored chick a broiler/meat bird? If not, what breed is he?

    He isn’t. What colour are his legs? Most dyed chicks I’ve seen have been leghorns, Red Sex Links, or mixes with white feathering

    Lavender Orpington Roo?

    Feather growth says nothing about gender at this stage, especially when it isn’t bred for (which it isn’t, in your case). So the chance of either being pullets is the same as the day you got them. Not sure if a visual would help to show how unreliable feather sexing is at this stage. Notice...

    Red Pyle OEGB looks like a possibility

    :highfive:, and possibly a better AC system. Maybe more shoe racks as well:oops:. One or two more acres wouldn’t hurt either

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 30th, 2026

    You’re probably right. If I don’t respond for a week, you know who found me🤫. Probably a bad time to mention my Gyro order :p . Now the question remains, do you like Coke:D?

    Question of the Day - Monday, March 30th, 2026

    You’re very kind, but I probably am quite boring as well. Although the food thing did give me an idea, I’m the only Greek I know who hates Feta :lol:

    Open Contest Creative Brooder Contest—17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    Well, I don’t know about creative, but certainly trashy :lol: . Entry 1, the old desk (outdoor) brooder. In later years, when bigger batches hatched, we extended the wire to make a U shape about 1.5 meters at the front. Only the bunch in the photos were able to escape, and after about a week...

    I need some good broody hen breeds

    Some more info would be very helpful. What are your overall goals? Silkies are widely known as good and reliable broodies, but they wouldn’t be the first choice for someone trying to establish a free range survival population. Are you interested in bantams, or Large Fowl? What are your keeping...

    Are they female?

    Dumpling is for sure a cockerel. Peep looks like a pullet so far, but you could update in a few weeks. Tail is rather irrelevant until much later. First gender specific feathers start at around 12 weeks of age, and are found on the hackles and saddle areas (neck and back feathers respectively)

    Feed Store Bantam Bin ID Needed

    Oh, I’m very sorry it didn’t work out. After the hen has left the nest chances of chick adoption drop quite a bit. Was she aggressive with her pecks and trying to get away from them?

    Feed Store Bantam Bin ID Needed

    That depends on the hen. If they reject, most don’t do it very calmly. Some take it as far as killing the chicks, others peck until the chicks get away, others will just get up and leave. You know better than us what your hen might do, since you know her better. Not even you will no for sure...

    Feed Store Bantam Bin ID Needed

    Feather legged chick one, is a buff Cochin bantam/Pekin. Feather legged chick three, is a Partridge Cochin Bantam/Pekin. Feather legged chick four is a Mille Fleur D’Uccles. Feather legged chick five looks like a frizzled black Cochin Bantam to me. That curl in its feathers is the frizzle...

    Agreed, EE

    What’s this breed?

    I think your guess is correct:)

    Looking for advice

    Sounds good. Having eggs in the nest might encourage her to sit, if she’s already thinking about it. Her having broody history will also help. Hope it works out, please keep us updated!
