I have a broody on two eggs, and apparently one hatch last night or early morning. How long should it take for the other to start pipping? And when is a hatch considered delayed? I'm excited(they're sex linked silkie X leghorn) but don't want one of them to be dead!

My rooster and the other ganged up on my favorite barred rock bantam. She has a neck wound but no puncture to the actual muscle. Is there anything I can use in place of vetericyn(I think that is what it's called?) while she's in medical bay in the washroom? She can eat and drink fine but I don't...

I have a 7 week old barred bantam chick and she can't stand. I checked for the pupils, all are normal and the eyes are a normal color. No sneezing, or blood in the poop. She is still active, but it looks as if she got trampled by the others.No other chick is like this, she is the only one, the...

What might the barred one be? It is a bantam pullet but I have no idea what breed it could be. It has a single comb.

I want to say I can sex the mat 6 weeks, but what is your recommendation? Mine are about 4 weeks now, but I can already tell at least two are cockerels because the comb is bright red and is already starting to get big. If I can I'll get pics later either tonight or tomorrow. Also, what's...

Hi, recently I had to cull a hen who had been sneezing and chronically got worse, going from little sneezes and heavy breathing to coughing and wry neck. I had been using Tylan in her water but she seemed to be far too gone. I just noticed one of my leghorn hens sneezing a bit today, and...

How do you do it? I guess by looking at how red the comb gets and how aggressive or loud they are? I've tried looking around on the internet but can't find anything on what to look for in a rooster or hen other than what they look like as an adult.

I can't tell the difference of my little month olds. I am pretty sure they're barred rocks but then again I'm not good at telling which is which. Some of my barred/doms have bare backs, and I've sat for hours on end to see if the others are picking at the backs, but they're not. Like some have...

I woke up this morning to go to school(30 minutes away) and I had counted all my silkies, barred rocks, and cornish in the cage they *were* in when I fed and watered them. I come back a few hours later from college and I go outside to give them some more water, and only counted 3 silkies. I...

The little on is Pistachio, and its eyes are a little big looking. Do you think it might be a bantam? It's only a month old, I don't know if they're supposed to be this big or not, I just know that its probably a mutt. The big rooster above is a mystery too, I got him for free cuz the lady is...

And got to looking at my chicken, Opal, and thought "those are some long tail feathers.." My little rooster died, a possum got him last night. But when I started looking at my other chicken, I keep thinking that its a hen, and then a rooster. I don't really know, do some rooster develop a...

Ok, so I went to get a rooster today from a very nice lady who lives 45 minutes away from me. I picked out what looks like a black brahma, but I don't know if it's a little pullet or rooster. It's only 7 weeks old, and his comb and wattles are more larger than 3 month and 4 month old pullets. So...

Hello, I have two new chickens, I'm a little new at it, but do have experience, plus my mom helps me a lot with it lol. I have two little white Leghorns chicks, about 4 weeks old. But I suspect one to be a cockerel. I got em' at Tractor Supply but the guy didn't know jack except that they were...
