Ok so this is gonna be a bit tricky to explain but I'll try my best. I have 2 incubators (a borotto and a hova) and 2 broody hens (silkies). I feel like my silkie eggs are having a hard time developing in my borotto for some reason. Im curious to test it out by transferring them to the hova. The...

Hi there! So I have around 21 eggs in the incubator and 8 or 9 have hatched. They began hatching on day 20 very early in the morning. We're now early morning of day 22. Im wondering when would be a good time to take out the chicks that have hatched. I still have 11 eggs left but I know if I open...

Hi there, hoping to get some insight here. I have 4 or 5 (8 week old) bantam pullets that are in a coop and 9 (5 week old) standards. They seem to be closish in size. What are the chabces I can mix them together and they'll be ok?

Hi there! Just wondering if I could get some advice on these 4 week olds (young, I know). With my eggers and orps I remember being able to see some differences in the combs and legs... but these guys I just really cant tell. Any advice? Note: I'm aware one of the wyandottes has a single comb...

Im more suspicious of the last one, but what specifically makes you suspect the second one?

Ok, that makes me optimistic. I was really hoping at the very least the second one is a pullet. Its my fav in the bunch so I'm keeping all my toes and fingers crosses

Hi there! I have these 3 8ish week old chicks that I'm not 100% sure of. What do you guys think, pullet or cockerel?

Hi there, we've got some marans (splash and blue) and eggers for sale. Purchased them as unsexed day old chicks and they're now 4 weeks old. If anyone is from the Ottawa-Gatineau area and interested, please let me know 😀

Hi there! Welcome to BYC! I'm actually just in the Gatineau region (Hi neighbor!) If you happen to know anyone interested in adding some quality splash or blue marans to their flock, let me know 🤣 I have a few 4-5 week old chicks available.

Thank you, I'm trying to stay optimistic just incase but preparing in the case where they might all be boys.

Does anyone have any examples of the difference between a 4-5 week old maran pullet and cockerel? I have some marans and am having a hard time distinguishing the difference as their legs, combs, etc seem to be rather similar. I understand its probably too early to tell, but I'm just curious to...

I have 9 chickens in total. 6 are 12 weeks old and the other 3 are about 9 weeks. One of my 12 week olds is usually pretty hyper and zoom zoomy... but told she seems mellow. So I suspect it's her

Hi there! So this morning I noticed this weird poop that was laid by one of my pullets... just not sure who. Does this look like normal poop? I don't think anyone ate anything that color :(

I will give that a try! Thank you :)

I have 8 current chick (however I will be losing 4 soon as they're cockerels and we're not allowed them in our district). The new pullets will be between 8 and 10 weeks old

Ouuuu very good point! I will definitely do that!

So this is my first go at introducing chickens that haven't been raised together. My current chicks are 6-7 weeks old, and we're getting 3 additional pullets tomorrow. We have a box we constructed with wood and chicken wire which should be big enough for the 3 pullets temporarily. Our coop is...

My poor little guy just got his beak stuck in the chicken fence and cracked his beak. It was bleeding quite a bit and I'm wondering what to do. I read that sometimes its best to leave it be since they can repair themselves, but I'm really not sure.

Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate the clarification!
