When I add Denagard to the waterers and start spraying in the water, the bubbles start getting a little brown film over them the more I add the water. When I turn off the water, there are brown spots floating around. I used it last winter, and I don't remember that happening. I tried a few...

I wanted to make a final post. Chick #1 is a cockerel. He is being rehomed tomorrow along with 2 other cochin cockerels. I was tempted to keep him, but I already have too many roosters. And thankfully, Chick #2 is a pullet. Her name is Lucy, and she is the cochin pullet I was hoping for.

Thank you for the replies. I am very eager to see if Chick #2 is a pullet. I know it's too soon to really know, but I keep comparing it to the other, hoping it's a girl, and not a slower maturing boy. I have 2 other (blue) Cochin chicks with these, and both of those are looking like...

I believe I have 2 Silver Penciled Bantam Cochins. I got them from the bantam bin at the feed store. I know it may be too soon to tell, but to me, it seems Chick #1 has an already obvious comb. These pictures were taken almost a week ago, and his comb seems even pinker now. So that has me...

My silkie hen was sitting on some bad eggs, so I put a few chicks from the feed store under her. I'm wondering what I have. I think they're cochins, anyway; wondering what color.. 2 chipmunks, thinking they're silver penciled or partridge or? And 2 light blue, thinking blue or splash? Thanks!

He is a cuckoo. I was told "Double Cuckoo." Not 100% sure, and he's just a pet anyway.

Just sharing a picture of my newest silkie rooster, Kingsley (and my kitty, Marvin).

That may be true, but I'll pass. These are small bantam eggs anyway. I have a couple dozen large eggs in the fridge currently. If anything, I will do the float test and scramble these for the chickens to eat.

Why would I eat old eggs? Thanks, I think I will give them a try and candle them in a week. I have other eggs, but I'd rather hatch these, if they're still good.

My friend gave me some eggs March 15th. I put some under a broody hen, and they're due this weekend. I had some eggs leftover, so I kept them on the kitchen bar in the egg carton, in case another hen went broody. Today, I have another broody hen, but now I'm thinking it might be too late to give...

I haven't posted on here in a very long time. Just wanted to share a few pictures again. This was my pair, Micah and Chloe. But sadly, Micah passed away a few weeks ago. I don't have many silkies, but I am glad I have one pullet from them. Foxy was the cutest chick. She's around 9...

So sorry for your loss!

Thank you! And cute chick! Love the hat.
