After 21 days of patience and a LOT of angry screeching, the hatching day for our little silkie mix is here! Around 8:30, I checked under her, to find her eggs with adorable little pips accompanied by little peeps! I can't wait for her babies (Two OEGB crosses, and 1 mystery egg) to emerge into...

I heard you mentioned something about "Foods"?

No, sorry for the miscommunication. We own the hen.

The hen is sitting on them

2 weeks is too early for any solid answers, but they look like pullets to me. Try taking some in better lighting so we can get a good look at coloring. You can tell if they are getting red combs and thick legs, I think. Very adorable!

Do I need a lamp even if they are being raised by a hen? And yeah, DEFINITELY not letting any cats in!

I have 3 baby chicks on the way. They are being brooded by a silkie mama, and I just wanted to know if there are any tips of how to make sure they thrive/essential supplies and medications to give them.

I've only had one OEGB before, and she went broody ALOT. I don't know if that's something they often do, but watch out!

She doesn't look so happy!

These are three edited photos of some eggs we just candled. We got 2 Old English Silver Duckwings crossed with mystery roo, and one egg that we have no idea about!

We named him Coconut and his sister is Bubbles

I'll try. Yes, unless he causes problems!

Yup. He crowed (or tried) 5 times this morning.

About 7-8 weeks ago we picked up some pullets from the store. We got 8 but 2 are ameracaunas. The third pic is the suspicious one in front of a pullet. So what do you think?🤔

Around where I live there are about 4-6 foxes. We put our chickens to bed at 6:30. Is this too late? We have been doing this for a while. But as the season changes will the foxes come out earlier? I've personally only had chickens eaten years ago, when we forgot to lock up the coop :-(. So, does...

I've got some 8-week-old chicks, and by now a cockerel should have redder features and combs. Another way to tell is the legs. Most roos have big bulky legs, and you may also want to check for spur buds, though hens can have them too. I'm leaning towards pullet though.

There are a few reasons. The first one being simply that they are cold. It could also be a respiratory infection that is causing it to do that. There are also various diseases that cause this. Are you raising it alone? It could be depressed, but usually it would not eat if it were. (By the way...

It is a bit early to decide, but roos usually have streamer like feathers near their heads, though that one probably doesn't have them yet, considering its age. Definitely try looking at some comparison videos and photos.
