That was my thoughts….I was hoping against hope that the 2nd one was a pullet but I highly doubt it! 😫
I ordered blue and green fertile eggs and I although I’m not sure what the breeds are, any pullets should end up laying green or blue eggs. 🤞🏻
I hatched these chicks with an incubator. They are 5 weeks old on 10/6/23. I think (hope) I have a couple pullets. I’m pretty sure I have a couple cockerels. I have included 2 pics of each. Tried to get them as clear as I could…..silly chicks just wouldn’t pose for me!
This is GREAT!!! I told my husband that “I wanted 10 chickens….but if God wants me to have 20 chickens then 40 chickens it is!!” Now I have the math to prove it!
I wish I would have read this before my chicks hatched. I thought I was helping by removing the chick to dry under a heat lamp keeping the temp in the brooder at 98 or 99. I only took one chick out and it’s fluffed but I’m not sure how to proceed with it. Should I leave it in the brooder or...
Eggcellent article! Very informative! You’ve given me affirmation on the size of my run. I started out free ranging my flock but lost every one of them to predators so now my new flock has a fully enclosed chicken run that is 2 part. The original run is 512 sq ft and the Extention is 191 sq...

Also he was asking about the breed of the rooster...
I have a broodie bantam Cochin. I finally bought her some fertile eggs…12 eggs, 6 hatched. We lost one (it found a hole and it escaped with one other chick….found one, didn’t find the other😢)
The 5 remaining chicks were ALL ROOSTERS!!! I was pretty sad about that because I have had bad...
I use Stall Fresh (or Stall Dry)which is similar to Sweet PDZ except not as dusty. According to the packaging, it’s safe for chickens and I’ve had excellent results with keeping the smell and the flies to almost nothing in my coops. Flies are still in the run but they don’t go in the coop...
