I know it's a broad title but I don't know what to name it. So, I'm not new to chickens. We have several different breeds and all have been Healthy with the exception of a few splayed legs, but thats fixable. So this chick, who we hatched from our very healthy ayam cemani. The ayam cemani...

I have a pair of blue runners that I incubated eggs from twice. Both times, the ducklings appear to be blue. Which is strange because I thought breeding 2 blues, would result in 50% blue, 25% silver and 25% black. Maybe they are too young to show their color yet?I love them and their color no...

Hi guys. I’ve been hatching for some time now but I’ve never seen a leg issue like this. One of my newly hatched chicks will not let down his foot. When he hatched 2 days ago, his leg already appeared to have this problem. His toes will grip your finger but he holds his leg up all the time. It’s...

I have 3 Ayam Cemani and 1 White Bresse that hatched yesterday. Cutest little buggers lol. They love to hop into my hand and be held and soon fall asleep. I’m pretty sure I know what sex each of them are but wanted to see what you all thought as well. Thank you!

Hi backyard chickens. I’ve begun my egg hatching journey. I bought the nurture right 360 incubator. I’ve had it running for almost a day. Temp reads 99.5 to 100°f. It goes back and forth. 50%-53% humidity. Is that ok for temp to go back and forth? Eggs will be here in 2 days. So what I have...

Good afternoon Backyard chicken family. So now that my pullets are getting older, I was wondering if you all could help me sex these two chicks. I’ve asked before but they were at a hard stage to sex and I couldn’t get a good picture. These are supposed to be black sex links but they may have...

I'm unsure if the first thread posted here in the duck forum but I’ll give it a go again. I have uploaded the video on his shaky legs. I’ve been giving extra niacin since day one and my 4 ducks have been on waterfowl feed as well. They are currently on 16% protein and they are now 5 weeks old...

My 4 ducks are now one month old. The 2 Cayugas and blue runner are growing into big beautiful ducks. One of my Blue runners- Franklin, has had a hard time. He is shaky, not wanting to move etc. I was pretty sure it was Niacin deficiency. So I have been adding Niacin everyday. We are in almost a...

Hey backyard friends. I have 3 black sex link chicks and I know one of them is a Cockerel. But what do you guys think on these 2? They don’t have much comb development yet but the rooster also developed his early. It’s hard to tell on these 2 because they look like they are barred but not fully...

Hello again BackyardChickens! I have 2 more chicks I’m trying to figure out. They are black sex links as well but these ones only have a little bit of the barring compared to the Cockerel you helped me sex. I’m assuming they are hens as they don’t have the signature dot on the head and not much...

Good morning, I’ve had my black sex links and Sapphire Gems for 3 weeks. I have 3 of each. From the very beginning, the one sex link looked very different from the other 2. “She” has the spot on the head, has the striping all throughout and the biggest mystery is, is that the comb has been...
