    Team Silkie Hatched 4 Eggs! Pics Below!

    Our 2 silkies hatched 4 little RIR (rooster) x white leghorn chicks. I’m really excited to see what these babies will look like. The ACTUAL mamas refused to sit on their eggs. I heard something about hens genetics being messed with so they won’t sit on their eggs. Is that true? Post pictures of...

    Does anyone have experience with Mexican squealer/black bellied squealer/whistling ducklings? Our Rouens laid eggs around the pond, and they rarely successfully hatch so we took them in to incubate. There were some wild squealer ducks that have come and gone at the pond as well. Well today is...

    Umbilical cord?

    Today is Day 20 of my incubation and I woke up this morning to a perky chick staring at me as I was refilling the incubator with water- it scared me because I was obviously not expecting that at 4 AM! That chick is doing well and I noticed at the same time that another egg had pipped! When I...

    Newest Hatch - A Lonely Gosling. Advice welcome

    Well, of our clutch of 6 goose eggs, only 2 made it to term (they were mail-ordered and not exactly the freshest when they got here, so I was expecting to lose a few). One died the day before yesterday from mal-positioning. She was facing the wrong side of the egg, and I didn't respond in time...

    Quail hatchling with a funny wing position

    Hello wise ones. I have a lovely little quail. I think it was shrink wrapped. I noticed it piping 2 days ago, when it still hadn’t emerged today, I broke it free, carefully of course. Something isn’t right. At first I thought it was wry neck, but it feeds well and easily. I’m feeding it...

    chicken hatchling leg shakes

    Background: We had a broody hen and gave her some fertilized eggs to lay on. We are first timers so made the mistake of leaving her and her eggs in the coop with the other hens. 3 got knocked out and stepped on at different stages by the other chicks and after 1 hatched she gave up on the other...

    What colour will this chick be?

    12 day old silkie chick originally came out white/cream coloured but is now developing some grey on the wings! It has grown a lot darker within the past few days. What colour will it grow up to be? Mom is a white silkie hen with white parents and dad is a golden partridge silkie.
