    At what age do chicks get their full adult colors?

    I haved a wyandotte, Easter Egger, and a buff orpington. My first two dont have what I would consider distinguishable coloring to their feathers at 1.5 months old. I am curious as to what they will look like as adult hens. When will they get their full coloring and feather patterning?

    Is this an official breed or a plain ole crossbred chicken

    Hello all, First, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have recently started hatching chicks, both naturally and in an incubator. I have had many chicks hatch, but all of the chicks look identical, if they came from the same mother. I was under the assumption that the chicks...
