    Hen doesnt feed chicks.

    So recently, we hatched 14 baybie chicks in an incubator. Since we had a brooty chicken, we decided to bring all of the chicks to here, and for the first day, everything seemed fine. The hen took the chicks under her wing and kept a close eye on them, but when the chicks started eating, we...

    What gender are my Silver Sebright and Mille Fleur D'Uccle?

    These two are about 2 weeks old, maybe more. Im not sure what gender they are, I'm guessing the sebright is female, basing off of a rooster sebright I have had before, she has hardly any comb. The Mille Fleur, I'm not so sure. Hoping for a hen. Anyone able to tell or even take a guess? i'm sure...

    We got some barnyard chickens and incubated the eggs. Now the babies are about six weeks old and I’m wondering if anybody can help me sex them. I currently live in town and I’m not allowed to have roosters. So I would prefer to get gender now before they start crowing. I also have pictures as...

The 3rd pic is the 3 week old which I'm sure will be super hard to guess what it will be. I'm gonna be doing gender testing so...

    How I dealt with 3 broodies

    I had 2 hens sitting on nests (planned) at the same time. Then another hen went missing and we thought she may be sitting on a nest too somewhere we couldn't find her (we are very remote and they can go anywhere). When the first 2 broodies hatched their eggs 2 weeks ago, the missing one also...

    My pekin x silkie comb is red/orange is it a male?

    Hello, my pekin cross silkie is around 20 days old. I bought him/her from a straoght run and noticed its comb turning orange/red. He/she is really calm and isn't noisy and likes being held but can be quite skittish at times,does this mean it's a cockerel?

    Overheated?

    It is currently about 60 degrees and sunny where I am. I brought my almost 5 week old chicks out to play and a few of them were laying like this in the sun. I assumed they were overheated and brought them to a shaded area, but I’m not entirely sure. They’re doing fine now. Thoughts?
