Hatched a turkey bantam cochin mix. A silkie cochin mix and a Easter egger Orpington mix chick. I also hatched one that I'm completely unsure what it is but pretty sure it's Orrpington mix. I'm in love! Who else loves mixing and seeing what you get?? I just do this once in a blue moon. I...

Hi everyone! My baby silkie have been through so much. It froze here and we lost power. I thought they would be ok but they are still weak. Yesterday they seemed like they were getting better, today my splash is so lethargic it can barely stand. The others are still not doing well but at least...

Hey everyone! So I just hatched some more chicks and after a couple years of doing this I'm curious. I used to be a freak about following all the rules, but everyone's climate is different. I'm currently in a snowy place, and if you know me on here, you know I get all the seasons! I've only...

Hey guys! Its been awhile things have been crazy on my end. I just wanted some advice on a chick I have that I think the others decided to peck off all his head skin. He was just getting in feathers so I assume it was that. He's been eating and drinking and there is no puss or weird smell that...

my chick just hatched this morning and its unbilical cord didn't heal. Or is this mushy chick disease?? How can I help it?

I got 4 ayam chicks last week and they are pretty young. On top of that I hatched out 7 bantam cochins that are maybe a week younger. I have one little ayam that is weak, unsteady on its feet, cries all the time and is so tiny and skinny. Its smaller then my cochin. I feed them as much as they...

I dont have a picture but could get one. I have two white silkies and a black one that I know is a roo. The white ones should be around 4-6 months old and im not sure what they are. They do not crow, their combs are bigger then what I thought a hen should have but not like my roo and their hats...

I have eggs in the incubator. They are bantam eggs and I set them to lock down day 17. Its now been three days. I was dumb and I opened it and candled them.. i saw one had internally pipped. I made sure to do it quickly and put them back exactly the same position. It hasn't hatched and now its...

I hatched out three chicks from what I swore were ayam eggs. I got the eggs from a friend who has a ayam. The eggs were medium creamy colored eggs. Two have solid black eyes and one has dark eyes. He verified they were ayam eggs but i keep being told on here that they are not and was suggested...

I honestly lost track of how old my meat birds are. They weigh at least three lbs but two I was hoping were 5. I just wanted smaller birds. Is it bad to butcher them now? Is their a weight that is too small? I know they are heavier then my full grown wellsummer.

I went out to feed my chickens and turkeys one morning and found my 2 month old turkey dead.. and then I came out today and found my 3 month old dead.. neither acted sick none of the chickens died or my guineas in the pen.. could it have been the smoke from all the fires and then the horrible...

I have 7 hens in my free range flock. Most are way past the point that they should be laying. Two days ago I decided to lock a few in the coop. I went and checked again tonight.. two eggs!!! These sneaky birds are laying eggs somewhere on the 5 acres of land and there is no way I can find them...

during the day my humidity drops quite a bit while I'm away. I have been trying to keep it at 30-40 closer to 40 but i will come back and it will be at 27 or sometimes less. I have the vent closed.. i put water in it every day some times twice a day. I had three eggs die and possibly two more...

I'm watching a ladies chickens and she has two fabulous roosters that are so sweet and big. Im really curious of anyone knows what they are??

I hatched out two ayam mixes recently and they have a weird feather pattern I haven't seen before. Any ideas?

I took in some old chickens. The owners were not sure of the age but guessed 7. They are bantam cochins for reference. Ive never seen an egg from them, but tonight I found one tiny light egg where they sleep. It was so soft and tiny I was scared that if I picked it up it would break in my...

our state is on fire and im surrounded on almost every side. Its hit the town im currently in. I packed up my dogs and the baby chicks still in the brooder and set out for my mothers. I left behind my geese, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and guineas in hopes my sister will let them out if they need...

I live in oregon and we're dealing with bad winds. The power went out and my incubator was off for two hours. My family put towels over it to keep the heat in. It is finally on and stabilized but I had to drive them to my parents house. They had only been in the incubator for a day and a half...

my sister who is 14 loves to help me on the farm. This is great! But also stressful. The other day she put a full water on a chick and crushed it. Then I come home and find her walking one of my roosters with a makeshift harness thats tied to tight to his body and she had him in the air making...
