    “Tricks” for early sexing?

    Oh goodness 🤣 well I don’t plan on intentionally upsetting the birds but next time the dogs start barking and they scramble I’ll see if I get any hands-on-hips stances 🤣

    “Tricks” for early sexing?

    Hi! Thanks for taking the time to respond. Im not expecting any of them to be reliable at all; it’s just a curiosity thing I thought might be fun, and like I said in my original post, I have no intention of testing any of the ones that are not safe. I am not looking to harm my birds in any way...

    “Tricks” for early sexing?

I don’t mean anything tried and true, and I don’t mean once the obvious signs are there, like saddle feathers and...

    Hi! An update as well and some answers to your questions… We left her in the coop with the other littles for the night. About an hour after I left them in for the night, I checked back in on her, and she was cozied right up next to Mama Silkie, the rest of the littles all snuggled around her in...

    Bantam chicken gaping, but not coughing. Wing held low, possible injury but not sure?

    Update- she ate some cooked egg and some Flock Raiser crumbles, had a couple sips of water, and her neck extending has gotten further apart and less strained-looking. I tried wrapping her wing against her but she refused to move once I did, she just flopped on her side and started panicking, so...

    Bantam chicken gaping, but not coughing. Wing held low, possible injury but not sure?

    Hi all! I have a Sebright chicken, around 5 months old, who is giving me some concerns. She is housed in a coop with about a dozen other bantams, (silkies, another sebright, two d’uccles, and a OEGB) as well as our last couple standard birds who are almost ready to join the big-bird-coop. No...

    New from New England! ☺️

    O Oh thank you so much!! I definitely will have questions when I get to that point. These little guys have taken all my focus so far and I want to be sure they’re 100% prelared for fall and winter before I take on additional birds, but I am sooooo excited for silkies!
