    Silkie chick color id

    Once they get older you can also look at crest shape. Females are typically rounder while males aren’t as round and often have spanglers. I think that’s the right term but it’s basically really thin feathers coming from the crest that are longer. Crowing is also a pretty good indicator.

    Silkie chick color id

    The brown chick will likely be partridge. The grayish chick will probably be a variation of blue. It’s kind of hard to tell with the lighting but I would guess blue or lavender. Silkies are pretty hard to sex from photos so you’ll have to wait until they grow out.

    Buttercup breeders

    I got a buttercup pullet earlier this year. In my eyes she’s a really nice bird and has been doing well at shows this summer. If at all possible I want to breed her and have some chicks for next year. She has a really nice comb and fits to the standard in most ways. I’ve been struggling to find...

    Chicken with mucus

    It looks like he’s trying to eat but can’t actually swallow the food. He’s starting to get thin. I made him a mash so the food wouldn’t get stuck to his mucus. He instantly went to eating but after every couple bites strings of food would come out. Then he’d shake his head and the food would go...

    Any idea what breed this is?

    Where did you get them from. Knowing which breeds are possible might narrow down the search. She’s pretty no matter what breed she is.

    Best indicator for Blue eggs

    I don’t think any of these factors is a for sure tell tale sign that a bird with lay blue eggs. Polish can have beards and muffs but lay white eggs. Breeds like buckeyes have pea combs but don’t lay blue eggs. Just because one characteristic of a breed carries over to an EE doesn’t necessarily...

    Chicken with mucus

    last night his mouth was dry but his muff still appeared wet. He was eating so I didn’t want to try and feel his crop and have him stop eating. He was born in mid February and is not vaccinated for anything. There isn’t a ton of hpai in my area. All the other birds appear fine and he is still...

    Can you eat unfertilized, incubated eggs? What size incubator should I get?

    I think they mean that you shouldn’t add eggs in on separate days. It’s best if you put all you eggs in the incubator on one day. Then all the eggs are able to lock down together.

    Chicken with mucus

    This is my Ameraucana cockerel. Yesterday it looked like he was trying to get something out of his throat. He had his mouth open and was shaking his head. The gnats are starting to get bad in our area so I summed it up to be related. I sprayed him with vanilla water to help. This morning I went...

    Sicilian buttercup

    I’ve never had a buttercup before but a hatchery accidentally threw her in with my order. I think that her feather pattern is coming along really nicely. Her hackle feathers and tail base are still growing in. I’m hoping to exhibit her at several shows this summer. Does anyone know if she is a...
