25 days ago I was given 6 BLRW hatching eggs from a friend who wanted to see if the eggs were fertile,5/6 eggs were fertile. Four of the chicks hatched yesterday(day 24), but one of them has a single comb, is this normal? He had all the BLRW's in their separate breeding pen and all of them have...

I am wanting to build a new coop(for breeding), but I need it to be cheap because I am too young to have a job and my parents don't wanna pay for it. The whole homestead was my idea so they fund it and I do all the chores, but this time they don't want to pay for it so I have to. So I would...

Ok, so I got 3 new hens last week. Gold laced Orpington, Black sex link, and a Cukoo maran. Today I got up and the Gold laced Orpington is making a gurgling sound. What do I do? Will she die? Will it spread to the rest of my flock? I didn't hear anyone else making the sound.

Ok, so this is my 2nd time hatching eggs. This time I decided to try dry incubation, I set six eggs on the 23 of march and all are developing. My temperature stays at around 99.5 - 100.0 degrees. My humidity is normally around 23% - 30% then on day 18 bump it up to 50% - 60%. So, I got up so...

Ok, so yesterday I was given 6 Blue laced red wyandotte eggs to see if the rooster was doing his job. But I have eggs already in the incubator that will be hatching on the 13th. I am doing dry incubation so will the three days of 50% - 60% and then back down to 20% hurt the eggs? I have never...

Ok, I have two roosters, a Red Phoenix and a Rhode Island Red(I keep them in separate coops). I also have 3 hens, two RIR x SLW, and one California White. I was wondering what I would get by crossing some of these breeds. Like what would I get if I crossed the RP x CW? Or the RP x (RIR x SLW)?

Today I am at a trading post with my parents and I bought a rooster. The person I bought him from said he was a Belgian red, but he doesn't look like that to me. I would appreciate it if any could tell me what it is. The pictures don't show it but he is very small compared to the other roosters...

About 8 weeks ago I hatched out two chicks. I got up today to let them out of the pin, and then about 5 minutes later both of them puffed up and ran at each other and started pecking each other on the beak.I have never seen this before so I don't know what to think. Can anyone explain to me what...

About 4 months ago I got two RIR x SLW pullets.They were 5 months old when I got them.So this makes them 9 months old and they still haven't layed any eggs.I feed them egg layer pellets and a little bit of grower feed, and still.... no eggs?!?!? What should I do...

I hatched these two chicks out about 2 months ago. (my first time hatching) I think they are both bsl's but I'm not sure. I think the one on the right is a roo and the one on the left is a hen but I just wanted to get more opinions on it.

Ok, so this is my second time hatching. My first time I did wet incubation 50% - 60% through day 18 70% - 75% in lockdown and I had 2/3 hatch. This time I am trying dry incubation and was wondering what to have the humidity at. I would also love to hear stories of successful hatches with dry...

Does anyone know what breed this is? I got 2 of these about 3 months ago, they were 5 months old when I got them. They still haven't started laying yet but the one in the first picture has started squatting so I think she is close to laying. The person I got these from said that they are Green...

Are these black sex links? I hatched these out about two months ago, but I don't know what they are. Their parents are an RIR rooster and a California White hen. Photo from Google: This is what they looked like as chicks.

I am looking to buy some hatching eggs near Mcalester, OK. I would be fine with any breed.

I have five chickens that I got about a month ago, everyone was fine until about 3 days ago one of my hens started acting lethargic and won't eat or drink. She has diarrhea and she isn't active at all. She just sits in a corner most of the day. Any idea what is wrong and how I can help?
