My friend is getting a divorce and they had chicks and ducklings, between drowning and a dog attack she only had a white leghorn pullet and a duckling left. I said I would take them.

So this is our first time raising chicks from day olds and hatching our own. We bought a few from a breeder which were vaccinated. A couple weeks later we bought a few more from the feed store which were not (and these are in a different brooder so there has been no cross contamination. We even...

I thinking the two on the right will be brown/red 's, but I'm not sure about my sweet girl on the right. I'm curious if others who know the breed better might have an idea. I'm branching out from my orpingtons :)

I have no idea what this is but it was in one of the eggs I cracked this morning. I'm very new to this, does anyone have any idea what it is???
