    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    Hard to tell in the photo, but we definitely have a crest growing 😍. Now here’s to hoping they’re all girls!

    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    I looked back at some older photos and if I’m not mistaken, he actually has a wee bit of a crest. I’ve never noticed it. I’ll have to catch him tomorrow to confirm but I’m pretty sure he’s got one. Exciting because I’m really hoping for crested babies.

    Will these chicks inherit crests?

    I’m trying to determine if the chicks circled in red will inherit crests. Hopefully the picture below isn’t too confusing- fathers are on the left, mothers on the right, and their respective offspring in the center. The two chicks’ father is the son of the olive Egger in the top left who has...

    Trying to identify this rooster’s mother

    I was initially as well because it looks like there might be similar markings on his chest, however, I thought they laid darker/brown eggs? I haven’t see her lay so I can’t confirm. But he certainly looks very similar to some of the Barnevelder rooster pictures I’ve Googled.

    Trying to identify this rooster’s mother

    I know this is a long shot, but I’m curious if anyone has the same mix or can identify the breed of the mother hen. This is my boy (first pic) born from a very light cream egg (similar to the photo attached) and an olive egger father (second pic) and unknown mother. The possible mothers are as...

    HELP! Possible Shrink Wrap?

    I ended up assisting as it appeared to be stuck in the membrane and chirping quite a bit. Perhaps it would have been fine on its own, I just wasn’t sure. Thankfully the yolk and blood had all been absorbed. Not even an hour later the second egg hatched so I can’t tell which is which. They are...

    HELP! Possible Shrink Wrap?

    Yes I’ve left in under the mom as I don’t have an incubator. Only took it out for a few seconds to avoid humidity/heat loss. Does this mean I don’t need to intervene?

    HELP! Possible Shrink Wrap?

    Does it appear to be shrink wrapped? This is the first time ever dealing with this so I’m not too familiar with the matter. Willing to step in if it is indeed shrink wrapped, otherwise I’m sure momma hen could assist; hopefully?

    HELP! Possible Shrink Wrap?

    Just found this egg under the momma hen looking like this. Doesn’t look right. I’m sure the hen knows best, but should I intervene at all? It’s chirping here and there. I’m afraid she might step on it and crush it. Editing to add: it pipped almost 24hrs ago.

    Mite Identification

    Hi all! I’ve seen several posts regarding mites and identification but nothing concrete on this type I’ve found in my garden area where I house two hens. I’ve seen them crawl on top of the hens but not on their vents or within feathers and no sign of eggs. I BELIEVE they’re clover mites based on...
