I have a few goose eggs incubating and they started pipping yesterday morning. One of them opened up their shell by about a half inch by one inch "window" then stopped, another one pipped a little bit and another hatched already. There's a fourth egg with movement inside it but no external...

Hello hatchers,
I am currently on day 16 with a batch of chicken eggs. I candled last night and saw good development and movement in most, but almost every single one had a very small, nonexistent, or abnormally placed air sac. They were shipped, but I let them sit for about 36 hours before...
I've had this rooster for a long time now, and the person that I got him from said he was a warhorse. Now I'm going back and forth, is he a warhorse or is he a Black Roundhead? Any ideas that could help?? Thanks so much for taking the time to help!
Hello!
My sister has had a gosling for about a week, and it's housed with the chicks, while they're all the same age. However, there's a problem.
The gosling has begun grabbing at the chicks wings, and pulling, like it's food. The chicks usually end up screaming, but no blood.. yet.
It's...
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I didn't know where to post this question. Does anyone have a good idea on how much I should price my hatching eggs? The rooster is American Game Fowl Copper Maran Cross. The hens are Buff Orp, RIR, Barred Rock, Black Australorp, Isa Brown, buff Orp/Lav...

I just bought my newest chickens Raven & Oreo both seramas, not sure of their ages but I’m worried that Oreo may have Merriks or something else. She has droopy wings, she’s loosing her balance, if I pick her up then put her back down she will just sit or lay down, and she can’t balance on my...
I just have a question about the GSB. Do they feather quickly? I know they both have female feathering, but I wanted to know if the females or males feather out quicker?
I have about 10 or so of them, and some already have tail feathers and more wing feathers than the other ones. Some don't...
Hey there,
We just picked up a 7 week old silkie. I am aware of the breeds propensity for hiding their gender until the last possible moment. However, I am worried our little one is showing roo tendencies (loud, standing tall, seems to have streaking top feathers) and we cannot have Roos here...
My 1 year old silver laced polish rooster got wry neck in early december, not long after his brother died on Pneumonia. He tuckes his head under his body and only on his right side. He is eating and drinking on his own, and will ge up to walk from one end of his temperary housing to the other to...
Hey BYC,
I am looking at building a run and coop with the Magidome bracket set. I think am going a full 8' for the dome pieces to allow for the largest run and enough space for a coop while also not going too crazy.
I have a couple of issues that I cannot think of a solution to and would greatly...
I have a 10 month old hen who as far as I can tell is acting normal and comfortable (tail up, color in comb, eating, walking, trotting with the flock when let to free range) over the last 5 or so days I noticed poop building up on her so today after she free ranged for almost 3 hours I soaked...
