Hello all! For a brief introduction, this thread will be following the first year (at least) of my new chicks for this year. Please stick around if you want to watch them grow, their personalities develop, and hear funny chicken stories! You can call me Kate, please feel free to share...

Hello! I have three Salmon Faverolles I ordered from MPC, all ordered as pullets. They're now five weeks old, and while I think I have a fairly good idea of what gender each of them are, I've never had Salmon Faverolles before so I really have no idea what I'm doing. And here they are! I can...

Hey everyone! I'm new to BackYard Chickens, and entirely to chickens as well. I did however get six sexed Easter Egger pullets and six Jersey White Giant (straight run, fingers crossed for hens) chicks to raise, deciding to revamp the old chicken coop that's on my property. I have to say that...
