new babies

Hey y’all I’m new to hatching eggs and I’m having an issue getting my brooder up to temp. I’m on day 15 of hatching coturnix quail so I’m anxious about not getting the temperature high enough before they start hatching. I have an inkbird temperature probe set up touching the bedding directly...

All four are supposed to be Black Australorp pullets, but one looks different than the others? Can someone offer their thoughts, are they all BA?

We woke up to 3 little babies running around, game hen and silkie mix. The mama seems to know what she’s doing, however we are concerned whether or not we need to step in. Should we keep babies with mama seperate with chick starter and water… or let her stay out with them and do their thing? I...

We just hatched two today! From my lavender olive eggers and look what color they are ! Totally dark with cream light belly’s kiwi is the silky broody hen her egg is going to be hatched as well soon but I am just really curious why these ones are so dark. Any idea?

Our chicken Sunday has just had her first successful hatch. She's in the nesting box still hatching chicks so I'm wondering if I need to separate her. Do I remove her from the nest box? We have about 15 other hens will the chicks be safe? I've only experienced hatching in the incubator and...

Got some new babies yesterday and I’m soooo excited! I have a variety of breeds to ensure year round egg laying. The ones I’m most excited about are my ameraucanas! Just really wanted to show my babies off, what do y’all think?

Hi y’all! I recently bought myself some little ladies from an event known as Chick Days at Lemos Pet Supply on the 24th; I was able to see all of the lil cuties and ask for specific breeds from the handler himself, but sadly in the fit of all the excitement, I forgot some of the breeds ‍♀️ I...

I"m Hannan, and a couple weeks ago, my family bought six new chicks, three black sex links (mine to care for) and three yellow chicks that I forgot which species they are, but my sister, who's in charge of those, probably remembers. They're all hens, because we don't have a large enough estate...

Hi everyone! So, my incubated eggs just hatched! Super exciting, because I haven't had chickens in a few years now! :wee Also, it's my first time incubating, usually just have a reliable broody! 8 babies - no idea what breeds. One is a bantam, smaller, fuzzy legs, extra toes. The last two...
