ok so this all started on Sunday. A month or so ago I got a beautiful polish hen and I had her quarantined. I never saw mites on her but I realize I only checked typical areas. I didn't really check her crest. Big mistake. So the other day I picked her up and was sitting with her looking at her...
Last night my last ayam cemani baby hatched. It looks like the umbilical cord was wrapped around its leg and it pulled some of its insides out. I clipped the cord to free the leg and put the baby back in the incubator. It is very fiesty and active. Will whatever came out absorb back in? What...
I have been out of town for 5 days. My father in law cared for my flock while i was away and everyone was good. This morning I went to let them out and one of my favorite hens was dead on the coop floor. She was 1.5 yrs old and acting totally normal. She had some feathers missing maybe from the...
I ordered silkie eggs from a silkie breeder who has every color of silkie under the rainbow. There was no guarantee on what colors I would get. This baby is a lot different than my others. Way lighter than the grey one but not white. Would you say this baby is lavender or what color????

My silkie just hatched 9 eggs 2 days ago. She's very devoted and never leaves her nest. While changing water this evening I noticed her beak looks injured but she's in the maternity ward away from the flock. I came out to clean her off and of course she flipped out and fought me hard. I began to...
This baby hatched yesterday under my broody. Today her legs are straight out on front of her in a v. Like she can't lean up to even try to stand on them. I have never dealt with this issue before so I need advice. I tried my best to splint the legs but will rewrap later when my husband is home...

My broody silkie has been sitting on my ebay eggs. Eggs are assorted color silkies I ordered. I started with 10 eggs but one wasn't fertile. Today we have 3 babies so far and all but 1 egg has pipped. Hoping for 9 babies ♡♡♡. Anyone else hatching today?
I got some ebay silkie eggs that my silkie is sitting on. I had 10 but one wasn't fertile. Yesterday all 9 remaining eggs have moving babies inside. I noticed some had some odd looking air cells though. I wasn't aware that I needed to let them rest 1 day. Tomorrow is day 18. Lockdown. What...
My speckled sussex pullet it droopy, twisting her neck as if something is stuck in her throat, head tucked in with a large crop. I've never dealt with crop issues so I'm super clueless. I did massage and empty it a bit this morning but I need help. I don't want to lose her:(
July 24th this beauty hatched and I'm not sure if the dad is my frizzle cochin or my silver laced polish. Mom is a white silkie. What do you guys think????
Ok so i have a hen sitting on one egg due to hatch tomorrow. It has already begun pipping. Its 100 degrees in my coop so the hen has abandoned the nest all day to be under the misters. I can't leave this egg in the current nest once it hatches because the boxes are off the ground and wide open...
