Thank you!

I have two Buff Brahmas that are supposed to be female. They are four weeks old today. I read that the Buff color is auto-sexing, but Fern is sooo featherless compared to Myrtle! Her little shoulders are naked!! They looked identical when they were teeny babies. I looked at my other girls and...

Weclome! 😊

This is all so amazing! I have enjoyed reading it all! I really love your sun shade idea. Could you please tell me how you ended up rigging it up? I live in a very similar climate as you in Northern New York and love the idea!!!!

Thank you! I really hope it is! It would be cool to have some chocolate colored eggs!

It looks like a Black Australorp! Mine are two weeks old right now and are supposed to be pullets.

Hi! I ordered 12 chicks from Mt. Healthy Hatcheries (they are two weeks old and thriving with zero issues!). I received 13 chicks and I initially thought Lucky #13 was another Black Australorp, as I had ordered two. I have been looking at her the last couple of days and I think her legs are...
