Welcome!
This is my black australorp chick's, Princess's, thread, where I will keep track of her growth. We purchased her on March 11th.
One of my rooster's passed away in the winter, so I am really hoping that Princess is a cockerel! I will be posting pictures of her often, feel free to give...
I have heard that nastursium is great to use too, as it is a hardy plant that is edible to chickens. I am planting some this year for the south-facing side of my run. It has beautiful orange flowers, too🙂

I just bought 2 bantams for my first time ever a few weeks ago..
One is a Dutch bantam, the other a BBR OEGB. I bet they are going to go broody a lot!! Oh no what have I gotten myself into...
My guesses
1: mille fleur d'uccle
2: bantam cochin (probably white)
3: definitely a black breasted red old english game bantam
4: bantam cochin (probably black)
5: white old english game bantam
6: unsure🤔
7: golden sebright
Hello and welcome to BYC, its great to have you here!!:welcome:ya
What geese breeds do you have? I have heard that geese are a lot of fun to have around.🪿🪿
Oh my goodness, congrats on all the little babies! The broody bug is so real😭 the most I've had got broody at once is 3 which is clearly not a lot compared to your broody situation lol!! The chicks have the most beautiful coloring, I especially love the little black and white mottled looking guy...
Wooo! Lockdown day, beany babies!! Time to situate your little selves in your eggs and pip, zip, and pop outta there!! I'm rooting for you, Chickpea and Toe Bean!!
My favorite colored eggs I get are the dark-ish brown from my ISA. (On the left.) I also love my easter egger's eggs but i havent recieved these terracotta ones often during my whole chicken keeping experience.
Ok! Thank you, i will try again in a few weeks!! I actually am hoping she is a roo because we lost one of ours a few months ago and need another to protect and warn a flock.
At first, for the first guy I thought sapphire gem, but those are way lighter in color, almost a lavender-ish color with barring for the roosters. So possibly an OE instead. The dark blue rooster with chocolate eyes looks like a blue jersey giant to me. The splash one doesn't seem like any on...
