Good info to keep in mind. Thanks 🙂. I'm not sure how she got mixed in the barred rock in (from Hoovers or if orschlens employee didn't pay attention. She def had aracauna in her as she had no tail stump at all. She just seemed to have a weaker health from the get go. Did change water couple...

That is the conclusion came to. Thanks. Unfortunately I lost Steve when she was laying her first egg. She got.egg bound. I tried the Epsom warm soak bath, etc. No vet anywhere around here that looks at chickens also unfortunately. So took her to friend with lots chicken experience and they said...

Thanks. 😁

Welp, the OG 8 hens and 1 too (soon to be dumplings as he's gotten very territorial and aggressive towards me) were definitely my babies, but we all know how that chicken math works. Soooo I did a "thing" and March 5th got my order in of 25 not so OG crew members in. 😳🤭 Ordered from Hoovers. Had...

My son's 12 year old grey tabby loves when I hatch or get new chicks. She insists she introduced herself right away and welcomes them to our menagerie. 🙄🤭

Hello. He's absolutely gorgeous!! Very similar to my roo who I've been told on here is very likely a game fowl / americauna or EE mix.

Welcome to the group. I have 5 year old buff orphs that are the biggest babies. Love them like crazy. They all will look when their names are called.

I swear some can look as guilty as any person or dog when they get caught doing something they know they not supposed to!! Lol caught one of my americaunas trying to dig along run line (yes set up so nothing can dig in or out but it's the idea I've had serious talks with him about this behavior...

Wish we had a Love button. These are adorable!!

I agree chicks that are shipped during cold with out heat packs is not right. First time ordering this year from Hoovers for a hatch date of March 5. I got them 2 days later and all 25 were chirping and happy. Sad id imagine to open your shipper and find dead birds. I guess I lucked out. Looking...

Good to know. Kind of would like one of my buffs or barred rocks to go broody (yes don't NEED more chickens=I LOVE the chick stage lol) but not holding my breath.

I am able to see the pics fine. They opened right up on my phone. I screenshot them and maybe they'll upload that way for you others be able see?? Not sure why red tho sorry

Thank you so much for the info and links. 👏

The white one is a week younger then the others and she's one from my first go at incubating eggs. Afraid to mess up so only did the one egg for first try lol. Her name is Lucky...she's lucky I didn't kill her during my trial run 🤣😂. Her dad is the roo and I think her mom is one of my buffs...

Thanks for the quick response! I got 5 sapphire gem straight run, 10 sapphire olive egger (5 each male/females) and 10 listed as Americauna (same sexing as SOE) 9 weeks and a day ago. Of course they came all in one carry box. I didn't know then, or more likely forgot, about the white spot on...
