I've allowed my (what i think is) a Wheaton game hen to hatch out some eggs. She was covered by my white silkie roo. These are the product. Two are much lighter in color than the dark ones. It will interesting to see what they feather out like.

My polish cross has been sitting on five Cochin laid eggs. I wasn't very optimistic they would hatch but lo and behold two baby chicks tumbled out from under her this afternoon! I moved her the unmatched eggs and the babies into a crate for now. Should I keep her separate from the other...

Im curious about options for post mortem testing for mareks. Ive seen where they do necropsey. But I saw at Texas University they do testing on just liver or blood samples. What is the accuracy of these tests? Im trying to educate myself on this disease. Anyone have experience with any of these...

The person i got these girls from wasnt the most helpful. He had too many housed together and not in thebest conditions. And I think had just lost track of who was who. I didnt want to get any from him but I felt so sorry for them. I was told the black and the lighter colored ones would be...

Hello All! I got these two girls at a local feed store.At least I hope they are both girls! They are around 4 months I'm guessing.They were to be around five days to a week when I got them. I was wondering if any one could identify any possible breeds they could be. I think the black and white...
