    Thank you! I actually took a glass of water out to drip on the leaves before photographing. 😂

    Speckles's Babies Hatch Along!

    Which name do you like best (if any are good)? I'll go for the last little chickie in line. I always go for the ones that are last or sick or something. 😭😂

    Speckles's Babies Hatch Along!

    I kinda like the names Savanna, Sunburst, Cammie (short for Chamomile) or Bluebell. But I have no idea if these are good suggestions for names. 😂

    All the Christian Homeschoolers!

    Here's another amazing painting she made using a tutorial! She's so talented! I'm so impressed with her skills. Our mom got her lots of watercolor supplies for Christmas last year. My mom finds the best gifts to give. 💕

    Speckled Sussex unsure of gender

    I have no experience with SS other than my one rooster and two hens. It was just one day (about 34 days old) I looked down at Lynn (now Alek) and I was like, "Oh! You look like a rooster." I had been worried about that chick because it was soooo slow to feather and I thought maybe something was...

    Speckled Sussex unsure of gender

    Hello! I am new to chicken keeping, but I have a Speckled Sussex rooster and two hens (They are 9 months old now). Here are some photos of them at 5 and 6 weeks of age for comparison. I hope it helps you! P.S. My rooster turned out to be incredibly sweet to humans and his hens. ☺️

    My Rooster's Legs Are Red (Non-Emergency)

    Oh thank you so much! That helps a lot! Especially since I've never had chickens before, I wouldn't have known that! 💕☺️

    My Rooster's Legs Are Red (Non-Emergency)

    Thank you! I do think he's so handsome! 🥰 He's also a really sweet & kind rooster. He loves hugs, he doesn't attack people (even when strangers come around), he takes care of his ladies by protecting them and feeding them. He's always watching over them to make sure they are safe. He also sees...

    My Rooster's Legs Are Red (Non-Emergency)

    Thanks so much, Tookie! That definitely helps to set my mind at ease. It really helps to have kind people that know more about chickens than I do. 🥹 You are right that it doesn't look like he has scaly leg mites. I was just so nervous to have found the Faverolles looking like they had some that...

    My Rooster's Legs Are Red (Non-Emergency)

    Hello, all! I am a first time chicken keeper. I had a question about my rooster. He is a 9 month old, 7 lb. Speckled Sussex named Alek Ross. In the past two days I noticed his feet were very red. His feet have always been redder than the hens, but it wasn't enough for concern. It just struck me...

    Help! What’s wrong with my chicken?

    I heartily agree with @Tiffany Wikk! Our family is actually specifically looking up Eggcessive's posts to learn as much as we can from them. Here is even a quote that Eggcessive already advised trying to get the hen to eat more. Thank you Eggcessive for taking your time to help people like us! 💕

    Please Help! Eggbound & Possible Prolapsed Vent

    I'm so sorry to hear that she died. It definitely happened really quickly with Leeli as well. It's really hard to lose a chicken. I have definitely learned from this experience how important calcium and d3 are! We are going to keep a bottle on hand to give as soon as we see any signs of...

    Chickens Losing Bum Feathers & Poopy Bums (Eight Months Old)

    Aww, that's very kind of you. We worked very hard to make their coop, run, and aviary. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. 😁
