Thanks everyone. That's what I thought but wanted to double check.

I have 3, 12 week old silkies. 2 are dark blues and 1 is a paint. What's your thoughts on genders? I'm having a hard time deciding. They are from good quality stock not hatchery.

Thanks, I can't wait to see how she looks as she gets older. I have a few that have awesome coloring.

Thank you everyone. :)

Hi, I have an 8 week old Easter Egger chick. I'm starting to wonder if its a cockerel. Most of the chicks have pea combs, however this one is a straight comb and it's turning pink. His/her wattles are turning pink/red also. Any guesses as to pullet or cockerel?

Thank you! 🙂

Hi, I'm having the hardest time deciding if I think the Germinal Disk looks like a bulls eye or if I'm seeing things. 🤦‍♀️ In certain light they look fertilized, while other light looks like a regular unfertilized egg's Germinal Disk. What do you see?

It's hard to see in the first two videos but in the last video you posted the chick has a splayed leg. It's an easy fix. These are not my pictures but for reference. There are multiple ways to fix splayed legs but this should give you an idea.

He's doing really well. I'm still keeping an eye on him but he's up running around like nothing happened.

I've never seen the cockerels in the compost. Just the Dominique's. I can't say for sure though because I wasn't always outside. Its very possible they came in contact with it. I don't believe its that deep maybe a foot deep at the most. The part I seen looked dry to me but I'll have to check...

I was finally able to upload the video using youtube. Here is another link. After uploading the rooster got up and walked for a minute then began stuffing his face full of food. He's still not right but at least he ate. Now that you mention it he was free ranging 2 days ago and they all went...

Hi, When I came home from work this evening I went out to feed and water the chickens. Its our routine. Every morning and evening I go out to check them ext. This time I noticed one of our roosters acting lethargic, wings drooping, fluffed up, and not walking. I brought him into the house to...

What would be my best option to produce better quality? I don't know much about oegb genetics.

I've only seen Wheaten and Bb red in person. This variety is all new to us.

Hi, a few weeks ago I bought a pair of Fawn Silver Duckwings. They were supposed to be for my kids in 4h. They were shipped so I didn't see them in person. I've seen several pictures of Fawn Silver Duckwings and these do not look like the variety. Now I've recently heard the Cockerel looks like...

They hatched on February 3rd. It was day 17. It was a 60% hatch rate. They are now a little over a week old. I have 2 that look to be Tibetan. The rest are Jumbo Brown and Silver. The Tibetan were a surprise. I can't believe the wide range of colors on the Silvers. Here are some pictures of a few. ❤

Hi, I'm incubating Coturnix Quail eggs. It's been a few years since I've incubated eggs. I put them in the incubator on January 17th at 8am. I don't remember if that counts as the first day or if the 18th is considered first day? I put them on lock down yesterday morning and I seen eggs wiggling...

We raised mini rex and dutch rabbits for the kids 4h. A few years before we focused on Seramas.

Hi, I've been a member for 6 years. However I've stopped raising poultry for a while and instead began focusing on rabbits. Well as much as I love rabbits, chickens are my thing. I've currently got 68 Coturnix Quail eggs in the incubator and plan to add some chickens once the quail hatch. The...

Nope, wasn't the right person but I will definitely be getting back in touch with her.
