I am really trying to grasp genetics but it’s taking me a minute. If I cross a Salmon Faverolles rooster with a white Ameraucana hen will I get all Salmon colored Favaucanas? I want to try & retain the white, I’ve searched for White Faverolles but it looks like they either no longer exist in...

So I ordered some bargain roosters from Valley Farms Hatchery… anyone have any ideas what this little guy might be? I’ve never seen a chick with a red face thanks in advance for any help

I did not see a June 2022 thread so I guess I’ll start 😂 ETA- I had 2 late comers. Total set 22 16 shipped cross country 6 from my coop I set these beauties (- the quail eggs) this morning. Estimated hatch date - June 10th Praying for pullets! We’ve hatched out more cockerels than pullets so...

So this one has had me stumped. Originally I thought male but my other male Asian Black has huge comb & wattles & is crowing.

Hi y’all, could anyone help me to identify the breed or crossed breeds of my little 9 week old roo please? He came from some eggs a friend sent me & he hatched from a tan egg. The last photo is his dad I do believe. Thank you!!

Hey y’all I’m trying to figure out the gender & possible breed or crosses of this 7 week old. I’ve included chick photos too. Thank y’all so much. I’m trying to sort them & thought this was a pullet but now I’m questioning

I had 11 jumbo Coturnix set with 3-15 hatch date (yesterday) I had 2 hatch on Sunday & 2 more hatch Monday with a 3rd dis after pip yesterday. How long should I give the remaining eggs? None have pipped or wiggling. I have 34 more I need to set asap & another 15 in my other incubator. If I need...

So February 21-22 I hatched 6 mystery chicks from a friend. I cannot figure out the breed or breeds (possible crosses) of these 3 chicks. If I’m correct I believe 1 to be female (1st pictures, shorter tail feathers) & 2 males. The first 2 are clean leg the 3rd is lightly feathered. Possible...

I purchased 4 Asian Black chicks on a whim Saturday (2-26) & cannot find hardly any information on them. What’s everyone know about them? Mine are already bigger than my chicks that hatched 2-21. I know that they grow pretty fast but not as fast as Cornish X but that’s about it. What age do...

This is our recently adopted rooster, Fabi, anyone know what breed/s he could be? She said EE so maybe some legbar, Hamburg & Birchen Marans? Thank you for the help

Good morning & tia for any help. Am I dealing with coccidiosis, intestinal shed, or something else? I first noticed a little blood in my babies poo (5 week Sapphire Gems/6 week Ameraucanas all 7 roost together so I’m not sure who) on Saturday. I started my whole flock on Corid (2 tsp per gallon...

Hi all, one of my 6 week old Ameraucana chicks got herself stuck to a fly ribbon. We got it off but what can we use to get the goo off? She had a nice warm bath with a little dawn & I rubbed some coconut oil on her. I’m letting her rest for now but what can I use to get the rest of the goo off?

I know they’re still a little too young to be 100% certain (3.5 weeks) but I’m thinking this one may be a roo. S/he has a larger & rosier comb than the other 3 & I believe I see wattles trying to come in. I bought them as Ameraucana pullets which clearly the breed was wrong 😑 so now I’m...

Hello all, could someone please help me... I’m not sure if this is cecal poop or if my littles may need some meds edited to add the chicks are about 2 months, he’s a roo & acting normal. I have these 2 inside away from our 3 bigger chicks because the female had an incident with our dog a few...

So this morning my dog found a way into the chicken yard & tried to play with one of my 6 week old babies. I rinsed her off with warm, lightly running water, wrapped her up & have her beside me on a heating pad. She did loose some feathers (looks like when she got picked a couple weeks ago) but...

Hello everyone, I’m Anna & incredibly new to chickens. We have 5 chicks, so far we believe 2 are roosters & 3 hens. This is a first for all 7 of us, but we have deep love for our chickies already. We are wannabe homesteaders just starting on our journey. In addition to the chicks we have 5...
