    Chick might need help?

    This egg pipped last night so I left it and assumed it would hatch over night. I came back to the membrane gone from the hole and what looks to be part of the chick. Though I can't tell which part. I haven't heard much from it and my first hatched chick seems concerned about it. It's been about...

    Barred Rock

    Pullet or Roo? I picked this little "pullet" up 3 days ago. I am having such a difficult time deciding pullet or roo. What do you guys think?? I'm assuming 3-4days old. I wanted another female BR because I love my original one, so I got another "pullet" and turned to be a male. Hoping I'm not...

    Mystery Banty?

    I just got four new Bantams from the local Costal (I believe they supply from Meyers hatchery). I’ve never seen a chick like this before and can’t ID it, I had a similar case with my chicken Petra and she’s an EE so I’m assuming that’s what this little guy is. What’s your guy’s opinion on breed...

    Name the breed of this mystery chick?

    Hi! This mystery chick hatched from a medium brown egg 4 days ago. Any idea what breed he/she may be? It’s very spunky, digs in the shavings more than the others, and likes to chest bump the other chicks. Not that any of that has anything to do with the type of chicken they’ll grow up to be:)

    Sick chick arrived yesterday won’t eat

    We got a delivery of chicks yesterday and one (tiny bantam Easter egger) is super weak and won’t eat. We’ve gotten her to take a little sugar water over the last 24 hours if we hold her and hold the dish right up to her but most of the time she won’t take that either. If she’s separated from the...

    Is there a such thing as “too much candling”

    Is there a such thing as candling too often? We are have some eggs incubating and we are on day 6. Just want to know if there’s a such thing as candling too often? I know that you don’t notice a huge difference within a day, but didn’t know if it “hurts” anything to candle more than just once or...
