    Baby chick just laying there

    So this morning I went outside to see my chickens and I notice that one of my hens has a baby chick under her, I knew she was broody but im not exactly sure when she started, so the first day when I noticed she was broody, I just marked her as day 3 and counted from there the hatch date. If im...

    Hen or Roo?

    Okay im pretty sure you guys were all right 😭😭 it does appear to be a pullet. Her comb hasn’t grown since, it’s stayed small and it’s not even red. I was looking forward to a little rooster but im happy regardless that I have another hen

    Hen or Roo?

    Sooo it’s been a little while later and everyone is still confused about what this little one may be. what do you think? do you still think it could be a pullet? The comb is more red, that’s for sure but still no wattles

    Silkie too small?

    True, my siblings heights and mine are also very different from each other but yeah she is still growing and eating and drinking regularly. She even bullies the chickens older than her. My 6 month old pullets obey her and she’s only 3 months

    Silkie too small?

    is my 3 month old showgirl silkie too small for her age? I feel like she is too small for 3 months. What do you guys think?? The lady I bought her from has her sister who’s the same age I believe, and she’s much bigger than her or at least that’s what it looks like in her pictures she’s shown...

    Roo or Hen?

    I have some 6 month old barred rock “pullets” but one of them is a little bit bigger than the rest and it’s mean to its siblings. when they were younger, they did get behind from my other young chickens because they got sick so they may be a little smaller for their age. Anyway, I doubt this...

    baby chick genetics

    I double checked when the chick fully fluffed up after removing it from the incubator and it does have feathered feet. Just not the extra toe. Also yes my rooster does carry the genes for 4 toes and clean feet because he comes from my little kikiriki hen who had 4 toes and clean feet

    baby chick genetics

    Nope, she’s been with my rooster only for months now. But I guess I saw wrong because I checked the baby again when it fluffed up and it does indeed have feathered feet. Just not the extra toe

    baby chick won’t move

    Little late update but just to let you know, your idea of putting it back in the incubator worked! Less than an hour after putting the chicken back in, he started lifting his head up and about 4 hours later, he was walking around and chirping loudly to be let out so I did and he joined the rest...

    baby chick stuck to membrane

    Yes once the chick dries and fluffens up I am moving it to the brooder. This chick is the last one to hatch, everyone else has hatched already and is in the brooder. I will wait and if by tomorrow if it has not fallen off, then I will cut it. Thank you!

    baby chick stuck to membrane

    I assisted a bantam chick in hatching because I was away from home for a while and the humidity had dropped extremely on day 19 for this chick and it was shrink wrapped so I assisted. I peeled off the shell and left the membrane because it was still attached to the chick. I am aware I could not...

    baby chick genetics

    So I have a rooster who is mixed with a silkie and a kikiriki hen. He has 5 toes and feathered feet on both legs because of his silkie side. I recently bred him with a kikiriki hen who has 4 toes, and no feathered feet. I was only able to get one chick out of it but the chick came out with 4...

    Silkie color breeding

    So I have a black silkie rooster, a white silkie hen, and a buff silkie hen. I know that when breeding my black rooster with my white hen, the chicks will all come out black because the black is dominant and the white is recessive. But, when breeding my black rooster with my buff hen, what color...

    Hen or Roo?

    Now that you mention it, they do look like sapphire olive eggers. They have the same pattern too. I have two of these and they both have big combs except this one’s comb is turning red but who knows! We will see
