    Chick tidbitting 6 weeks

    I swear I've just heard my 6 week old chick tidbitting. When I raised my first bunch in the brooder I never saw this behaviour until my Rooster was around 20+ weeks. This chick has been raised under a broody hen and I swear I just heard a cute little mimic of the sound mum makes when she finds...

    runt gosling can't keep up with the others, developmental delay

    She turned 6 weeks yesterday. Little Midge started showing signs of delay in development some days back, falling behind her fellow goslings. She soon became unstable on her feet. This led to full blown instability and near complete loss of balance. Sometimes even ending stuck on her back. We...

    What kind of chicken is this?

    I received this chick as a freebie when the other 15 I ordered? I think it looks like a Brahma but I'm not sure. It is around 6 weeks old. Can anyone help?

    Can anyone tell the sex of any of my flock or is it too early? They’re coming up on six weeks.

    BCM 6 week old what gender?

    I bought some straight run chicks. These two are about 6 weeks old and the absolute sweetest. Either way I’m keeping them but if they are cockerels I’d like to get a few pullets. Thanks for any help!

    🐔 or 🐓 easter eggers and silkie chicks??

    My (hopeful) ladies are 4-6 weeks old (wasn't given a clear age when purchased). What do you think? Hens or roos? I know silkies are almost impossible to tell but I attached pictures of ours anyways. The rest are easter eggers. Bonus points for insight on the easter egger's possible breeds they...

    Sexing silkies seems too easy.

    Hi there! I have 7 6 week old silkies and I noticed this week that 3 have significant combs (like a finger print) and deep red wattles, and 4 have nothing of either. Now as my 4th chick flock, this seems clear cut that the former are boys, and the latter girls. But this seems too easy. From what...

    giant but bald brahma chick?

    hello everyone, so my brahma chick is 6 weeks old now, but her (not sure but hoping its a pullet) feathering is slower than even my 4 week old chicks. the bantam she hatched with is almost 100% fully feathered but i do know they feather rather quickly. Although this seems exessive and i have...

    Is This a Buff Orpington?

    I was sold this chick at a few days old from a feed store as a Buff Orpington. Now I’m wondering if it’s something else as all the pictures I see online, Buff Orpingtons are much lighter and my chick is darker. My chick is now 6 weeks old. And any guesses on gender would be great too! Thanks!
