I ordered chicks through Cackle Hatchery using the City/Town Female Special (x2) for 6 chicks. The breeds I ordered that I ordered were 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Easter Eggers, 1 Barred Rock, and 1 Black Australorp.
I ended up with 2 extra chicks (not complaining at all 😅). Does anyone have an idea...
Can anyone tell me what breed this chick might be? It was in a bin labeled Americana but they don’t have feathered feet. And they’re SUPER feathered. Grey on top and lighter underneath. Pretty fuzzy wings too.
Hey all, anyone have an idea whats up with this chick? Chick is making a wailing type noise and chirps every now and then. This started just today, the chick is active and running but lagging a bit behind its siblings. What could be going on? Idk how to embed video, so I'm linking the reddit...
So today, we came home from church to so many surprise chicks!!!
We have 10 cats we inherited when we purchased our house. They were supposed to be feral, but they have since turned into big babies. They have a heated cat house up next to our house and several additional cat boxes they can use...
Hi! In Oregon, looking for bielefelder chicks, need to get chicks next week or two so they can go out side by the time there is some travel coming up.
If anyone knows of any available now, please let me know!
Good morning! I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong area, but I have a self blue (lavender) ameraucana rooster (purebred from a breeder, not a hatchery chick) that I plan to use to cover a marans hen. The marans hen is completely black with no coppering
I'm wondering what chick colors i...
Is it normal for a quail rooster ( a tibetan named Juancho) to let a dozen chicks be underneath him. For one of my first quail roosters (a pharoh rooster named stripe) let the chicks underneath of him as well and my hens don't do a good job with incubating chicks. None of hens ever go broody. I...
So silkies are recognized in black, blue, buff, white, splash, self blue and gray. These are some silky chicks we have and I’ve been playing a color guessing game with them! lol they range from 4-7 weeks old.
hi!, I'm just asking how to help my grieving/possibly depressed chicken she is really young(not even laying yet) and is a very small breed, we got her yesterday and tried to introduce her and her best friend/sister to the flock, but unfortunately her sister was killed and I found her cowering in...
So we have a Black sex Link rooster, and a barred rock rooster. We also have black sex link hens, barred rock hens, and buff Orpington hens. So I’m not sure what we’ll get lol but this morning we had three babies hatch out and all three have the craziest patterns. As far as I can see at least...
I have 3 day old baby chicks. Is it possible for wry neck to be present at day 1? Or would it likely be some other condition - like something neurological? The chick is presenting all wry neck symptoms pretty accurately (walks in circles, neck tilting and rolling and twitching, falling over...

Hi everyone,
We had a broody hen secretly incubate an egg which he believe belongs to one of our light Sussex hens, with the dad being our blue partridge* pekin cockerel. It’s currently hatching right now so I thought I’d do a little competition… guess the colour :D
I’ll attach pictures of the...
Is this a frizzle??? I have one frizzle who was super obvious, but this one I’m on the fence about… she is almost two weeks old, a bantam easter egger. Will she frizzle or is she just a little roughed up in this photo???
My little chicken has been like this for over a week and seems to be getting worse. I’m not sure it will make it but I do not want to give up since the chicken seems to still be eating and drinking it just can’t use one leg but now it seems like both legs are giving out unless the good leg is...
Hey yall! I actually just posted my intro yesterday not expecting any eggs to hatch at all. Our tree fell down three days ago and cut the power out for four hours, plus I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing half the time lol. So, naturally, I assumed I’d done a rotten job since I had a hard time...
I have a 7 week old Breese x Ameraucana mix that is having some trouble with her one eye. I haven't noticed any weezing or any respiratory issues, her mouth is clear, and she's acting totally normal. It has looked like this for about 4 days. The yellowish lump is soft, not hard like pus usually...
