It’s been a full 24 hours since this egg pipped. I can see and hear the chick but the membrane looks dry. Should I wait or help?

I have a polish hen who had been the “favorite” for a while so I separated her and the rooster. She’s not injured, just missing feathers. The past few days, she has been wandering around one corner of the run like she’s lost. Tonight when I went out to lock my chickens up, she was still outside...

Are these considered show quality Mille fleur duccles? Someone is selling chicks and I saw them. They stated they were show quality.

Are these considered show quality Mille fleur duccles? I saw someone post they were going to have show chicks available from these and they stated they were show quality.

I have a jerk of a rooster but he’s a really good protector and we are working with him so he gets to stay…for now. Here’s my question, I have had him with 5 hens but he has massively outgrown them and is now hurting them when trying to mate. I decided to take my other rooster who is around the...

I set 18 serama hatching eggs yesterday. I inspected them and didn’t see any cracks but this morning when checking them out in the incubator, I noticed one egg had a teeny tiny crack and had some dried liquid (very minimal). I took non scented candle wax and sealed it like I’ve seen some suggest...

I have read and read about this breed but I’ve been finding conflicting information. I read somewhere that they need temperatures above 50 degrees F to live and some say it isn’t true. I’m building a temperature controlled coop and run this spring for my other chickens and was considering...

I have two Mille fleur duccles that are roosters. I’d love to find them some ladies. They’re sweet boys (they weren’t supposed to both be boys) and always have a home but I have no hens to pair them with. I’d love to find some hens/pullers to buy! Location: Kentucky

I live in Kentucky - willing to buy shipped eggs if you’re not within a couple of hours from me. I’m not looking for pet quality and would like to see pictures of the parents and/or past hatches/grow outs. I understand the risks involved with shipping eggs as I’m not crazy. I just haven’t been...

I have two small bantam roosters that have developed frostbite on their combs. The temperatures here have been in the single digits but their coop was completely draft free. The roosters still insisted on coming out and patrolling even with the temperatures low. I left them in their covered...

I have found a couple breeders but their birds are just not what I’m looking for. I am looking for breeder quality.

I have my coops inside a closed run. I let my chickens free range most of the time unless the weather is bad or there’s more hawks in the area than normal. It’s getting colder though and for the past 3 weeks, I keep seeing mice in the run at night. They’re not in the coop that I’ve seen, just...

I’m just getting into breeding and don’t really plan on doing this any time soon so I’m just taking notes. My favorite coloring is Mille fleur and I’d love to create this pattern in a polish bantam. I’ve been following Lauren Taylor chickens for a while and she does this with silkies. Silkies...

I bought these little things a few weeks ago. I was told the one in the back with the smaller comb was a hen and the one in the front was a roo. Well, the “hen” just crowed… Can someone show me pictures of their Belgian bearded Mille fleur d’uccles hens? I just want to make sure it doesn’t...

I have two separate runs and coops right now. One run has my polish grow outs in it and they’re around 3 months old. My other run has my adult hens that are around 8 months old (marans and legbars). I want this pair in with my adult hens. I’ve been trying to slowly introduce them as of...

I have 7 hens that are all 8 months old. They are healthy, fed 17% protein feed, meal worms, scraps, etc. Their coop is clean. No sign of worms and they’re only 8 months old so I don’t think it’s molting time. I live in Kentucky and it’s turning fall. The days are also getting shorter. Could...

How do I correct an aggressive rooster at just 2 months old? He’s a lot bigger now than this picture but this is him. He woke up this morning and chose violence. I don’t want to get rid of him.

When I went out to the coop this morning, there were 3 small poops that had some darker blood in them. All of my hens are eating and drinking fine. No abnormal behavior. Could this be coccidiosis? I did go ahead and clean waterers and treat with corid to be safe. I will have to clean the coop...

I have 4.5 month old black marans, blue marans, and cream legbars. My black marans has become a butthead 3 days ago. Last night, when I went into the coop to put them to bed, she bit the crap out of my arm and tried to do it again. I have no roosters and she’s the biggest chicken. She is the...

Any guesses on gender? 4 weeks old and this comb is throwing me. I know it’s early. Mille fleur d’uccle bantam.
