I'm CC and this is Agathae in my flower garden

Post 2 of 2: Seeking any insight of pullet or roos (prior post was for Australorps) Purchased chicks from local feed store (Western Ranch, Sacramento, CA). Sold/Advertised as Wyandottes. Hatch date around 3/12/2023, so about 6 weeks. For these both, I don't see an appreciable difference in...

I have decided that every year I will raise chickens for my county fairs charity poultry auction. This year I am doing buff orpingtons and possibly my BSL rooster we will see if he gets his act together. I want to select the best breeds that are not an outrageous price but are high in demand. I...

Hello! I am a new chicken owner and have two 9-week-old Wyandottes - one silver laced and one golden laced. I am suspicious that one or both may be roos. Thoughts?

I just bought these BLRW and Splash Wyandottes. Hatched early March, so they’re about 6 weeks old. I know, I know, they’re still young but any guesses!?! They’re supposed to be pullets bc they were ordered from a hatchery and sexed but we know that’s not 100% accurate. Please tell me they...

I’m just curious if tractor supply “Easter eggers” are just all breeds that lay various color eggs, The older my chicks get I think I have at least 3 wyandottes, a barred rock or Cochin mix and maybe some classic “Easter eggers” I’m really excited about the variety but the older they get the...

Hello, I’m new to chickens. This is one of 4 hens I purchased that are currently around 4-5 months old. It’s taller than the other 3 the same age. Now wondering if it might be a rooster? What do you think?

Hello, I am a beginner that got my first flock of 6 hens, one rooster 3 weeks ago, Wyandottes. They are 4-5 months. I added 4 more a week later. Consisted of 3 Wyandotte hens, 1 Ameraucana hen, all 3-4 months old. All came from same breeder. I already have a lot of questions and look forward...

Last year, I picked up 6 chicks - 3 Australorps and 3 Light Brahmas. They were all supposed to be females, but one of the Brahmas ended up a rooster. While I'm thrilled to have him, I hadn't planned for him (by the time we knew he was a rooster, there were no more chicks to be had locally)...

So I have purchased 3 SLW, 3 barnevelder and 1 Australorp from a breeder. So far I am about 70% convinced that there are 2 female barnevelder, 1 male barnevelder and 1 male Australorp. But I am still baffled what the 3 silver laced wyandottes are. They are about 5 weeks when the following...

Hello everyone! I’m Joni and I live in Florida with my hubby, 2 dogs, and 13 chickens. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have had chickens for the past 15 years (pets only). (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I currently have 13. (3) What breeds do...

So I’m not finding a lot of info on blue Wyandottes, most threads and articles are on blue laced red Wyandottes. Is this type of breed not common? I’m new to this and it’s my first year with chickens. I have 8 Wyandottes and LOVE them to death but they are still not laying and I can’t find much...

I bought my GLW at Tractor Supply on June 10, 2022. They swore they were positive they were all pullets. The bigger “she” gets the more I think she may be a cockerel!! “She” crows daily. However, “one of my two new “girls” has started laying light tan eggs. The other new girl (a Hampbar) should...

I bought 10 female golden laced Wyandottes end of august. I couldn’t pick to have just one rooster. So all females it was. However my favorite from day one has always looked a little off. “She” is bigger and completely different looking. I’ve been stuck between her being a different breed or...

My relatives have a flock of mixes. Just your basic laying hen with a single comb. Problem is that they're getting quite old and don't go broody anymore. Because of that, they're not getting any new young pullets. And with the local fox visiting and taking a hen every week or so, the flock is...

Here are two of my beauties ❤️
