    We are trying out incubating for the first time and are on day 4 of incubation with a Farm Innovators Still Air Digital Incubator as our cheap incubator used for getting the hang of the do's and don'ts of incubating. Our biggest questions, however, revolve around what these baby pullet chicks...

    I have 1 naked neck rooster aka a (trukin) named pea-tree. Sadly I don't have any females of that breed, and have no idea if he has two or one NN genes. However I have the sweetest little Cinnamon Queen named Rosemary who really seems to like him as a mate. To the point of trying to get...

I thought she was an Australorp until I noticed the extra toes, comb, and eye color. I got her as a 'hatchery choice' chick. Thanks...

    Sold as Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes…But Are They Really?

    I bought 4 straight run chicks that were sold as Blue Laced Wyandottes, but I am seeing two different feather patterns emerging! Are they the BL Wynadotte and it is just the male and female feather patterns? Or is it a different Wynadotte breed? This is my first time having Wynadotte btw 😀...

    Hello! I’m trying to get a good sense of what breeds of chicken might work out best for our situation. We actually got chickens for pest control with our horses. The egg laying has just been a good bonus. Right now we have 11 chickens (started out with 15) two of which are roosters. Current...

    What Type of Chick Do I have???

    Hello All! I purchased 8 chicks in total from Zamzows 6 Gold Laced Wyandottes and 2 Blue Laced Wyandottes. However, as my 2 Blue Laced have gotten older I'm beginning to suspect that they aren't Wyandottes at all; especially considering that my gold ladies already have the lacey feather markings...

    When is a Barred Rock Hen Fully Grown?

    I know that it can take up to a year for hens to fully grow…But I was curious if my breeder bought Barred Rock Hens (born in June 2021) will be smaller than my TSC Barred Rock Hen (born in April 2021)? My TSC hen is very large, and her tail is almost completely upright. My breeder bought hen...

    Please help me identify this “young hen” I rescued today.

    This beautiful little “pullet” was crammed in a small cage at my local feed store with several other chickens. I had to rescue her. I’m not sure about her breed or even positive it is a pullet, although they charged me for a hen. Upon arriving home a young hen began having a rival jumping dance...

    So I’m in the market for a dog that won’t eat my chickens, I’ve been looking at livestock protectors but they are pretty pricey when you get into the larger purebreds. I’ve been looking at mixes like Shollies and purebreds like Akbash but I don’t know what’s the right fit. The chickens have a...
