Hi! We got week-old chicks from the local farm and fleet in Wisconsin, but the lady on duty wasn't sure what they were. We also think that one may be a cockerel. Any ideas? The tan stripes are really throwing me off - maybe they will change over time?

Hello! I’m planning to purchase some lavender Orpington chicks to be delivered mid-April, but the minimum order requirement is more than I can raise. Is there anyone in Southeast WI who would like to go in on the purchase with me?
I'm looking to re-home my green queen cockeral. He hatched around thanksgiving from Meyer hatchery. He's great, healthy, well behaved. He's not a cuddler. He's a littletl shy, but I can handle him. He's not a bully. I'm in the madison Wisconsin area. He's cute and goofy. He looks about like a...
It's 19° below zero here in central Wisconsin today, so I'm keeping warm by dreaming of starting my first flock this spring. This kind of weather will certainly weigh in to my plans. Hoping for a small start with gamebirds, maybe pheasants, certainly bobwhites, thinking about geese and ducks as...
Hello, and WOW are there a lot of new introductions! We bought our 3.3 acre homestead in October here near the center of the northern Hemisphere. Just got our first batch of 33 baby chicks last Thursday as the snow storm was starting. We bought a variety of chicks for a rainbow of egg colors...

Anybody out there? Midwesterners, where you at?!
I'm no stranger to farming, but sort of a newbie to chickens. I did not realize that my husband's all-time favorite animal is a chicken. Scratch that. ALL chickens. We've been married 10 years and this was brand new information in spring 2019...
On March 16th, after much anticipation and near-obsession, 9 black Jersey Giant chicks will hatch and be shipped to me. This is my first flock. For a year, I’ve been researching, plotting, planning, and acclimating my husband to the idea… and it’s all about to happen. Chicken stewards (chicken...
