I just can't tell with this one. I don't think I see any saddle feathers, so I am thinking hen. The color and fluffy type feathers have me thrown off though
Hello everyone, I have not been on here in quite awhile, but now I'm back. I have a chick that is about 3 months old now and she is half the size of the others in her group. I was looking at her today and noticed she does not have a nostril on one side and on the other side she just has a tiny...
I have a 7 month old rooster who managed to not get put away late Christmas night (he must have been roosting in a tree).
I thought he was a gonner but then I found him 2 days later standing in some bushes. I brought him in and cleaned him up and the only injury I can find is a small cut behind...
This is my first time incubating my own hen eggs and I am so excited!. I have 8 Lavender Orpingtons and 3 Lav. Orp./ EE mix. I can't wait to see what they turn out like. I am also hoping for a Lavender rooster as my rooster " El Toro" passed away on Mother's day (unkown cause, no sign of trauma...
I had four eggs in the bator to begin with and 2 pipped yesterday morning. I became concerned when they only made a small hole and then quit trying to hatch all together within the last 32 hours. This afternoon I went ahead and candled the other two that had not pipped only to find one had...
I have a broody turkey who is going to be 2 this year. She has gone broody a few times already and I have always taken her eggs away to try and stop it. Last summer she was close to starving herself because she would not get off of the egg "spot" and go eat. A couple of days ago I decided to...

I just ordered my first brand new egg incubator! I decided to go with the Genesis 1588. Kind of a x-mas present to myself :-) Does anybody have any tips on this kind of incubator? I just can't wait to get it!!!
Last night my 5 year old cat (Lava) came into eat and I noticed he was acting strange. He seems dizzy and his head is tilted to the left but he was still eating. This morning he did not want to eat but I did get him to take a couple bites of leftover chicken. He is still dizzy and shaking his...

Well it started out as a turkey condo but , the turkeys never used it. Then we had a hen show up with 8 babies so we enclosed the bottom for a brooding area. Then a week later we had another hen show up with 7 more babies, so we enclosed the top and made them a safe place to be. This past...
These are my Lavender Orpington babies. They are 12 weeks old today. So what do you think, pullets or cockerels? They don't hold still very well. My roo "Rowdy" 16 weeks. He's the only one crowing so far!

I have an LG w/turner that I have added a fan to. My problem is the temperature I can get to 98.4 and when I try to turn it up in the least bit it jumps to 101.5. Is 98.4 okay or should I keep messing with it? I have eggs in it on day 5 now and I am scared to mess with it too much. Thanks
