Hi all! I'm on day 24 of incubation for my bobwhite quail. Temp is 99F, humidity is 70-75%. I put them in lockdown day 20. I have a still air LG. I had one pip about 15 hours ago but I don't think it broke the membrane. It was just a small break in the shell. It moved slightly a few hours ago...

Hey guys! This is my first time hatching bobwhite quail and I have a quick question! I just candled them all as today is day 20 and there was movement/complete opaqueness in 28/33 eggs (yay!). However, I noticed that only about 10 out of the 28 were almost completely opaque and the others still...

I have a bantam cochin rooster in with one silkie hen and the silkie hen recently went broody so he's stuck all alone in his run. He's acting almost depressed-like.. kind of lethargic and I want to know if he's either sick or if he is actually depressed from being lonely. Poor little guy. He's...

I think I've officially spoiled my rooster rotten. I hold my rooster a lot and snuggle with him almost everyday. I let him and the girls outside this morning and I was inside the house when I heard my rooster, Colonel, screaming his head off. I run outside and I see a wild cat. I shoo the thing...

I have 6 chicks that are about 4 weeks old now. They are on medicated chick starter and I noticed there is quite a bit of bloody poop in the brooder. No other symptoms. I bought tetracycline. I'm confused on the dosage though. My waterer is one quart. Can anyone tell me how much I should put in...

I have a flock of 6, one bantam cochin rooster and 5 silkie hens. 4 out of the 5 silkies are broody right now. Whenever one tries to go out in the run to get a drink or something, my rooster just attacks her and beats the crap out of her! Not like normal roos will do.. I need to figure out a...

Hi. I'm going to let my silkie broody hatch some silkie x cochin eggs and I want to see what they will look like! I've googled images but there aren't very many. So if you would please show off some of your silkie cochins, that would be awesome. From chicks to full grown birds! I have a blue...

I'm so confused about this genetics stuff.. if this is a stupid question please forgive me! I have a blue splash bantam cochin roo that is an unfrizzled frizzle. Meaning, he was supposed to be a frizzle but he didn't frizzle out. I think his parents were a frizzle roo and a silkie hen. I have...

I have a rooster. He is 21 weeks old. A bantam cochin. Ever since he was 5 weeks old, every night he insists on "roosting" with me. Right before dusk when it's sleep time, my rooster will literally whine for me. He sounds like a dog! He'll run back and forth from the coop to the house until I go...

First of all, I'm really new at this whole chicken raising business thing so if this is a really stupid question, I'm sorry. My 5 silkie girls are starting to turn red in the combs and even around where the wattles will be growing in. Is this normal? I'm almost positive they are pullets...

Anyone else with a silkie this color? It's head is white and then it slowly turns gray! He's really pretty. I had to give him away a week or so ago because he started to crow. I'm just curious if anyone else has seen a silkie this color before. His name is Rambo and he was about 15 weeks old in...
