I bred my Black mottled Japanese bantam rooster to a plain Jane blue silkie and I am getting some strange colors on their chicks! I know nothing about the parents genetics so that does not help but I just want to know anything that could be possible. One is black and one is blue but they have...
Hello! My surprise chicks just hatched and one has an unabsorbed yolk sac and I have no clue what to do... I am just leaving it alone right now just in case it can absorb the rest but if there is anything I need to do please let me know. Thank you
I have wanted Jubilee Orpingtons for so many years now and everywhere I looked they were far to expensive but I finally got some as a birthday gift this year because my mom found them at Rural King!!! I can not find a lot of pics of then and I want to see them all lol. So if anyone else loves...

Hi! My very first hatch is taking place right now but the 3rd one to hatch got shrink wrapped and was like that for several hours I am guessing before I helped. But her vent is very very large all the way around and I first want to know if it will go away on its own but if not what can I do...
Hi! I feel like the proudest mom in the whole world right now, but anyways... I am hatching my first ever chicks and it is finally hatching Day. They are on lockdown and the humidity is 62 percent, they have all been healthy and moving around in the eggs a lot but the first one that has...
I just need help deciding what day these bantam eggs are on so I can put them on lockdown on the right day please. I was bad and forgot what day I put them in but I am guessing they are around day 13
I am wondering what breed this rooster might be and what he may pass down to chicks when bred to a barred rock. He has some orange specks in his neck and white feathers in his tail and wings. We know he is not a pure barred rock because he has had chicks and they are definetally not pure barred...
I really want to get into breeding and incubating now that I have my first rooster so I need an Incubator but I don't want to buy a brand new one for like $200 so if anyone is near Dover, TN and has one they would sell for cheap, please private message me! I could pay a little more than this if...
I got a Japanese Bantam roo and 3 fertile serama eggs from someone and I really want them to have a shot at hatching! I literally have no money to buy an I curator and I have no broody hens so I have made a DIY incubator and I need help lol. I used stuff from around the house and I am taking...
I have had a bantam hen for forever now and after all of the research I did I just kind of gave up and called her a blue old English bantam but I really want to know what her really breed and color is! I don't think she is normal blue. Her name is Pip by the way!
I got 7 chicken about 4 and a half months ago and I was sure they were all hen because they were sexed of course! But my chicken Scarlet is starting to look much more like a Scarleto xD
I would appreciate an opinions! And they are 17.5 weeks old :) the first three pics are from the mystery...
I have a 3-week-old Speckled Sussex chick and she has three lightly bleeding wounds from being pecked at, so I didn't know if there was anything else I could do other than separate her along with someone who does not peck her, or if there was something better I could do for her. Also, the same...
Hi! I am so so so excited because I have now wanted chickens for over 7 years and yesterday I just got my first 7 chicks! I really want to tell you the breeds but that is for you to guess, so put your guesses down below... There are 2 bantams and 5 standard sized chickens 😁
Also, I am really...
I am devastated because I have 3 teen bantam chicks that live at my aunts place and they don't exactly take the greatest care of there chickens. Anyways, I was there two days ago and noticed that my silkie chick Willow had a crossbeak! I was freaking out because I had never had this happen...
Someone I know just bought ducklings yesterday pretty irresponsibly. I am doing research for them to try and help even though my advice is not wanted, I just want the best or the ducks. :)
1. Can duck live with chickens in a chicken coop?
2. Can duck's be free roamed with no fence and lots of...
Hi! I have recently bought some bantam chicks (3 silkies, 2 D'uccles, and 3 bantam Brahmas) I was wondering how to house them when they are older if my standard size chickens were free roaming and we only have one big coop and the bossy rooster hen (our hen that is a lot more like a rooster)...
I just got 8 silkie bantam mixes and 1 assorted bantam chick 3 days ago and I know 5 of them are either silkie mixes or a different type of bantam. I know for for fact the three of them are pure silkies but the other 6 I have no idea what they are. I really want to know what they are and any...
