Sorry for the late response! Mine frizzled up super hard and then one day I woke up and his feathers were entirely flat. Only time will tell but I’m hoping yours is frizzled! 🤞

Hi all! I hatched 3 chicks all about 2 weeks ago! One of them, Steve (12 days old), is growing in these random lifted feathers. Both of his parents are smooth-feathered, as shown in the pictures provided, so I’m unsure where these gene came from if this is a sign of frizzling (sneaky recessive...

It’s definitely a weird place to pet them but they’re just so cute I wanna give them scritches everywhere!! :love I have a naked neck hen who loves being scratched on either side of her vent- it probably feels good on her hips and weird bald skin lol

Hi everyone! I have three baby chicks, one 13 days old, two 10 days old. I was curious about why if I scratch their booties on either side of their vents, two of them do a little wiggle or “poop dance” as I like to call it. I wasn’t sure if that was just them being weird or maybe indication...

I have 12 chickens currently!! This is my first time hatching their eggs though! Most of my chickens I’ve gotten as adults! This is exciting!

I recently hatched 3 chickens! They are so so cute, but I was surprised by how two of them look! The black silkie, named Susuwatari, was from hatching eggs ordered online. The naked neck, Mr. Crocker, is a very beautiful cross between a large-combed green egg layer and a showgirl silkie roo mix...

A friend of mine ordered me hatching eggs for Christmas. I’m currently on day 7 for the first batch and day 5 for the second. In batch #1, there were 8 eggs, so far three have not made it and 2 seem suspicious. In batch #2, there were 3 eggs and so far I can see growth in 1 but I’m going to...

Oh that’s so noble of you to take them in! Silkies are such loving little babies 💕💕 I’m sure the patience you’ve given them during healing has made them feel so special and happy!

I have a French Black Copper Marans, Blanche, who is unfortunately suffering from some sort of mental trauma. A hawk tried to take her away a few months ago and she has since stopped laying eggs and is anxious to free range, constantly on the lookout for flying birds. (No injuries: the hawk...

That’s good to know! It’s hard to see in the picture I have above but here’s a really good picture of Primavera and her pretty earlobes. They were opalescent and would kind of change hue in different lighting! I thought it was white until I got chickens with actual white earlobes! I miss her so...

I see. Thank you for your help! :) My three Roos are all silkie mixes! One is blue with silkie feathers, one is white with smooth feathers, and one is naked-neck with smooth feathers. This baby has the extra toes and feathered legs that only my roosters have :)

Oh that’s so cute! Chicken genetics are much weirder than I thought! I’m pretty positive Primavera was not full barred rock because she had blue earlobes and pink legs (she was also quite slender!) So maybe this baby is still absolutely hers? Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful...

see Well that makes me feel a little bit better! Were all of the off-colors female? This is so surprising is all haha

I have more pictures of my three-day-old Orzo! (Hatched 7 am 11/7) I am still pretty confident the mom is my late BR, Primavera, but it could also be half EE like my other hens. (The coloring would make more sense if that is the case) I know that at this point it is pretty much a waiting game...

Hi all! My favorite hen passed away three weeks ago so I decided to incubate her eggs left behind. Only one baby made it but to my surprise, instead of being black, white, or blue, the baby is brown? I’m curious to see if anyone else has had a brown chick after crossing a barred hen with a...
