I got two straight run Silkie/cochin chicks, they are now around 9 weeks old. I’m guessing they’re both hens but I could be way off haha and Id like other opinions!

I have a hen who went broody about 5 days ago. Yesterday morning I put some hatching eggs under her and this afternoon when I got home I noticed that she was off her hatching eggs and on top of other eggs (not fertilized, we don’t have a rooster). I have no idea how long she was off the eggs...

We have 2 silkie/Cochins who are roughly 5-6 weeks old. Curious to see some that are full grown. Also anxious to see if they are roos/hens 🙂 both pictures are of the same chicken

This chicken came from a bin at the store that had both Cinnamon Queens and Golden Comets and I cannot remember which she is supposed to be. Can anyone tell?

Hello all. My landlord hired some painters to paint the roofs of a few barns around our house and it’s pretty close to where we keep our chickens. We have an area in the run to separate our younger chickens from our older so they can get to know each other, and while my younger ones were in...

We have 2 buff chanteclers about 12-13 weeks old. This one has bigger/redder comb and bigger wattles than the other. Curious if this looks like a roo or not?

I have a few chicks with crooked toes, this chick in particular having the worst. I’m not sure exactly how old but I’m guessing they’re almost 2 weeks old. Is it too late to try and fix it? What is the best method to try and fix?

Newbie here, and probably overthinking things. I keep seeing people accidentally get meat birds with their layers and it’s making me slightly suspicious of one. This chick is roughly 2 weeks old and is one of my bigger chicks (15 total) but I have other breeds who are just as big. Is this a...

Chicken newbie here! We have 15 roughly 2 week old chicks from Rural King who gets them from Hoovers Hatchery. I know for sure the breeds of a few we have (California Whites, Buff Chanteclers, Sapphire Splash) but others I am not so sure about. My husband was the one who picked them up and...

My chicks are roughly 2 weeks old. I have had them all since 3/11. This one I noticed last night was limping and wouldn’t put much weight on her leg. She was fine last morning. I’m not sure what happened. I don’t see any swelling or obvious injury. I have seen her eat/drink/poop just fine. She...

Today we finally got our first chicks, 13 total. They had a 45 minuet car ride home with the heat on in the car, now they have been home for 2 hours and they’re all huddled under my heat plate. I’m assuming from being in the car so long they’re huddled for warmth and are probably tired. This...

We will be getting chicks for the first time this spring. After a lot of research I feel like I have a pretty good understanding on what to do but one thing I still haven’t gotten clarity on is the temperature of the room that the chicks are in. The way our house is set up, the chicks will have...
