    What breed of chick is this?

    I know the pictures are not good to be able to tell, but if possible, can anyone tell me the breed of these chicks my sister got from TSC? Their yellow with black on their wings. She can't remember what they were.

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂

    Bantam chick is the only one not growing

    In need of assistance or advice, I have 6 baby chicks and 1 of them is a bantam. She is so small (obviously) but has not grown in the full week I have had her. One of my chicks is growing 10-15 grams a day, but this girl hasn't grown a single gram. She is still at 24 grams. She eats and drinks...

    Splint for young pullet attacked by hawk - broken toes/foot

    My Barnevelder pullet was in rough shape yesterday after an awful hawk attack. Of my 3 pullets, 1 was taken/killed, 1 (this one) severely injured, and the other unharmed. I believe the hawk attempted to get the Barnevelder first and maybe she dropped from high in the air, causing the leg to...

    It's day 20 of chicks incubating under my big broody Orpington/Brahma cross, she started with 12 but one sadly stopped developing at day 3/4ish. So day 7 comes, candling shows great development, all 11 remaining eggs were showing spider veins and some dark eye spots as expected. Day 14 comes...

    Is this a guinea or a chicken?

    We found this little baby hiding in our yard a few days ago. It looked after itself for two days(we don't know how long it's already been doing that before we found it) until we took it in when predators tried to catch it. We're trying to find a home for it now, but can't figure out what it is...

    Baby chicken has problem walking, one leg infront, other behind

    Hi! My now three days old chicken has a problem with his legs. It seems like he can't use one. He takes a few steps and then one leg becoms extended behind and other in front of him (it doesn't look like splayed legs). He then falls, rolls on his side or back. It upsets him very much. But...

    Hey guys I’m new to all this. Picked up some baby ducks from tractor supply. I use to have them growing up when I was really young and barely remember.

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Little Babies with Fun Genetics!

    I recently hatched 3 chickens! They are so so cute, but I was surprised by how two of them look! The black silkie, named Susuwatari, was from hatching eggs ordered online. The naked neck, Mr. Crocker, is a very beautiful cross between a large-combed green egg layer and a showgirl silkie roo mix...

    EE pullet or roo - 5-6 weeks old

    I have my second round of chicks, and I’m suspecting that one of my EEs is a roo. They were all apparently sexed. But so was the last bunch, and one of my Orloffs ended up being a roo and I was able to figure it out relatively quickly. Anyways! I have 1 buff Orpington and 2 EEs (one white and...
