I ordered a small bunch of pea chicks from Rainbow Hatchery, who advertised on here, early this year. I've recently moved and messaged them about my change in shipping address, but didn't hear back after multiple messages on here. I then checked their website and saw they were not shipping any...
A silkie chick hatched this morning under a broody, and when I got home this afternoon I found the chick alone on the floor peeping like crazy with mom eating and scratching the floor nearby. The chick was clearly distressed so I picked it up and found that both eyes are swollen shut and it has...
One of my roosters has not been himself lately. He is eating and drinking slowly but just sort of slowly ambles around all puffed up and disheveled looking. I've been keeping an eye on him and notices he has been having foamy yellow poops. I tried to look up the cause and treatment for what...
I have 3 kits available, 2 solid black (1 female, 1 male), one black female with white stripe on it's face. Mother is a brown Holland lop, father is a black and white lionhead, his hair grows out grey, with half blue and half brown eyes. I own both parents, they are healthy and spoiled. I plan...
I keep my incubator in the bedroom, the only room in the house the cats are not allowed. Naturally when I accidentally leave the door open, it is an instant target for feline exploration. Then they must knock the incubator off the table... on day 19...
Out of 24 eggs, I had 4 that were not...
I went to take care of my breeding pen today and found my sizzle rooster bloody and battered! :( He is usually very outgoing and is top dog in the coop but was huddling alone when I went out. It was dark already and there is no light out there but I noticed and picked him up and brought him...
I am applying to 4 community colleges in New Hampshire for their associates degree in nursing (RN). I finished high school in 2010 and did 2 years of college at a university but never earned a degree. I took a break, became an LNA, and decided to pursue a career in nursing. I've finished the...
I have a few silkie and sizzle chicks from the very beginning of my sizzle breeding project. They range from 1 to 3 months old roughly and are unsexed, but there are a couple that I have a guess on gender. I have a few black sizzles with gold/red leakage (father was a black breasted red) A...

We have 2 dogs, a Staffy x Lab female and a "mutt" male, not sure what he is but we guess boxer mixed with some kind of hound. He is about 3 years old now and always a bundle of crazy, happy energy. Unfortunately he is cursed with this weird issue that keeps popping up.. This will have been the...
I know it is super early, but I am so excited! I am showing at congress for the first time this year and also am bringing quite a few chicks to sell probably. This will be only my 3rd time showing my silkies, any tips? Anyone know yet what your bringing to show/sell?
A couple months ago I hatched some eggs from my mixed breed laying hens. All were healthy except one had a little trouble at first getting around. She would stand up, walk a few steps, then fall back down on her hocks with her feet out in front of her. I thought that was just an issue with her...
Hello! So I am working on my silkie and sizzle breeding projects, and one of my hens took off and came back with 11 chicks. I am very new to chicken breeding and genetics, but this one puzzled me... The hen is a paint frizzled silkie, and the two roosters she was in contact with are a patridge...
