Most of them hatched! I got 6 babies I don't remember the exact number of eggs to begin with but I was pretty pleased

Do you think it makes a difference the she is blue? My Cochin is a white bird and the Australorp totally black whereas the Marans I have are b/b/s

I have a bresse hen who has always been odd looking - she has a sort of shrunken face and not very brightly coloured comb and wattles. She is 6 months old. Today I noticed that she is gurgling when she breathes. She also has greyish crustose around her eye which makes me wonder if that's what...

She is definitely moving around more - and is slightly demanding when it comes to lap cuddles

Here are some short videos on her today. She is curious and walking around and definitely hungry but she can't seem to get anything down. Doesn't look like gape worm. I put oil in her chick starter feed. Her aim is also terrible. Ideas? [VIDEO] [VIDEO]
