TSC Easter Eggers from the pullet bin. Only 5 weeks old so too soon to know for sure, but I keep hearing about rows of peas and gender specific feathering so wondering if anyone has thoughts on these four. TIA!

We got four TSC Easter Eggers, three are feathering out with very similar and uniform markings, and this one is patchy. I keep hearing that could mean roo, but does it always? I’ll keep him/her either way, but am aware that favorites often turn out to be cockerels lol so I’m preparing myself.

Our local TSC gets their chick shipments each Wednesday, and I had my heart set on Easter Eggers, but I work, so we kept missing them, they would always be sold out before 5pm. So I took last Wednesday off work 😅 and made it my mission to find them! We drove to three TSCs last Wednesday, in...

Hi all, my little Willow is growing up quickly and it’s hard watching her struggle so much to walk. She’s now been to two separate vets and they both suggested something different. One thinks amputation of the foot/lower part of the leg would significantly make her quality of life better as the...

Willow was seen by a vet and had X-rays taken. No fractures, and vet thinks it’s nerve damage. She prescribed Meloxicam and told me to secure/tape her leg into the normal position to help her walk. She gets around well, both with and without the wrap, and her appetite is great, poops look good...

Comet was found all alone the day s/he hatched, there are feral/loose hens around my town so s/he is a mystery chick 🔮 Comet’s friendliness/personality reminds me much more of my roo chicks in the past, but we will see! S/he will be five weeks old in a few days and I’ll take new photos then ☺️

Willow has an appointment at the vet tomorrow at 8am for an exam. I wanted to hear peoples stories of chicks learning to adapt to the use of just one leg in case the X-rays show this one is not treatable. I have many years experience with pigeons and doves with leg issues, with one-legged and...

Any guesses on what type of comb he will have? The thought on my last post is that he’s a New Hampshire Red. The chicks I’ve seen of those seem to have a different looking comb at this age, maybe the growth is just slow? He (or she) is only three weeks old today. Thanks :)

This little chick was brought to me on March 1st, I’m guessing he hatched the day before. There are a lot of loose hens around town that don’t belong to anyone and many of them have chicks now. This chick was found alone, and since I do pigeon and dove rescue, they brought him to me. It was...

I'm babysitting these chicks for a few days, my friend was told by the feedstore they were both black copper marans. Obviously one is not black, she has beautiful lavender/grey colored feathers. The other one is mostly black so far, just has some solid white feathers on his wings. I'm guessing...

Hen #1 Golden laced wyandotte maybe? Green and yellow legs. Hen #2 Dominique? Hen #3 Black with some rust color on throat, blue legs. Black sex link with just very little red maybe? Hen #4 (on left) EE? Can they have a single comb? Puffy cheeks, blue feet. Hen #5 (on right) Buff...

One of my little chicks is starting to grow pretty flecks of dark grey on his/her wing feathers. Is this coloring still buff cochin? S/he was also the only chick in the bin at the feed store with a dark spot on his/her head. S/he is the smaller one in this photo.

I no longer have this hen (RIP sweet Loretta) I would really like to know her breed if possible. I adopted her and all seven of her day old chicks years ago from an animal rescue group in central Texas. She had blue feet, layed small white eggs, almost daily (not much bigger then pigeon eggs)...

Any guesses? One is missing a patch of fluff from on top of his/her head. A worker said they were trying to "get rid of it" and another customer commented that "it looks like a tasty nugget." So.... I had to get her and another so she wouldn't be alone. I have had many chickens in the past but...
