Hi there! I have one chick developing a comb way ahead of the other girls at 18 days old. This is my first time with French Black Copper Marans so I’m unfamiliar with their particular development. There’s a couple pictures here with some of the others so you can see what the other 7 look...

I have a question for Rhode Island Red owners. I have a good size flock but will be adding 13 Rhode Island Hens and 1 RIR rooster to the group this summer. I’m looking for any experience/advice on the breed as it’s our first time having them. I’ve been reading conflicting messages from sites...

Hi there! I have 23 girls, 25 weeks old. About 1/2 are ISA BROWNS and 1/2 Barred Rocks. The Barred Rock eggs are quite a bit smaller than the ISA. Are they slower to increase in egg size? Don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for all the eggs, I just didn’t know why the ISA hens eggs are bigger...

One of my Barred Rock hen’s wattles are developing and the rest of the girls aren’t. They are 7-71/2 weeks old. Thanks in advance! Is that normal? I’m not sure of the stages or if she’s a boy…

I am brand new at raising chicks here. My family is more experienced but we are just starting our flock for egg laying. We bought 1/2 Plymouth Barred Rock and 1/2 ISA Brown at TSC March 6, 2022. We were told they were between 1-2 weeks old, all pullets. This one is pretty aggressive going...
