Today my polish silkie mix hatched (yay!) but after reviewing the video I got of it hatching I realized one foot has 5 toes and the other only has 4. I've never heard of this happening so I was wondering if anyone has any chickens like this? The chick is completely fine but I am curious, how...

New phone wallpaper I made. I couldn't pick one picture so I just picked them all! Thin Mint is in the middle and pictures of Toast from chick to adult is around the perimeter. There's also some pictures of Bear as a chick with Toast.

So I had my youngest group of chicks outside with the broody that raised them and one of the cockerels mounted the broody while she was dustbathing. Has anyone else had this happen? Is it normal? The cockerel is also crowing already along with one of his brothers. This is him

Hello! I recently had one of my OEGB hatch out a clutch of 5 (not planned. By the time I found her nest the eggs were already 1.5 weeks into the incubation period) chicks. One of them is a black andalusian x Cochin silkie cross or a cs cross x another breed. And the rest are OEGB x Cochin silkie...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) (Her name is Zola, btw). Blue Orpington, about 6 months old, she feels normal. *Has not started laying yet, she was VERY slow to feather in* 2) What is the behavior, exactly. She rests on...

So my mom found this weird black-ish blob in one of our duck eggs. Duck is a khaki Campbell x Cayuga cross. Eggshell was thin and egg was smaller. From one of our younger layers. I'm so confused, does anyone know what it is???

Post pictures of your chickens/other fowl and see if others can guess their age! Make sure to include their names if they have one and breed (if it's a mixed breed say so or if you know the mixes, put that) I'll go first. This is Toast, he is a Rhode Island Red mixed with another mix who is...

#1: I candled this egg 2 days ago, looked okay, but now it has this weird circular spot inside it (not a mark outside the egg) anyone know what it is? #2: These eggs should be hatching any day now, should it still have veins this pronounced at this stage? #3: Pretty sure this one died...

I wanted to change my "about" page, is it possible to do so? If so, then how?

I have collected quite a bit of pictures recently of my farm animals so I thought that I should show them to y'all!

This is Midnight. He is 3 years old and was sold to us as a black Cochin. As a chick, his down was black. But as he feathered out is became apparent that he was at least birchen. I've dwelled on this for quite a while, because he has weird mottling on his chest. He is HUGE like his brother...

Hello everyone! I have a slow feathering chick, presumably a blue Orpington, whose neck has started to show some skin. I don't have a picture atm, but underneath her wings and by her vent is also bald. Is it anything to worry about? I think that she may be a runt as well because she is tiny...

This is Chile, I honestly have no idea what she is. She's very friendly and lets me pick her up with no issues Next is Nutmeg. I think she may be a partridge something perhaps? She doesn't like to be picked up at ALL And finally, Penny! Penny is really tiny. She was sold to us as a chick as a...

Hello everyone, one of my chickens has recently started having trouble seeing. She is less than a year old (got her as a day-old in February 2021). She failed to show up at the coop at night for 2 days. First day was a surprise and she was with another chicken (named Prairie) by our house...

Greetings everyone! This is my first thread on BYC and I just wanted to see if others also had December fluffballs! This is my first time with winter chicks and so far its been a lot of fun! (Well, its only been 2 days. But still, I love little chicks!) This is Curly Fries. She may be a...
