This will be my first time hatching cockatiel eggs. I have raised baby chickens, but that's it. (well, and 3 little rugrats lol)
I have everything ready to hand feed when the time comes or if one of the babies gets rejected for some reason. Right now the first of 4 eggs hatched. One naked...
I know I posted a few day ago about having a baby chick just die out of the blue. He seemed healthy and everything was fine then he just died. Well, I was glad to get replies about how some chicks just don't make it once the yolk is gone etc....
Well, that I understand, but I am losing a chick...
My baby chicks have been pretty active, healthy, eating, drinking...I check on them all the time. Just now I went into the room and saw one chick laying down looking dead..I tap the cage like I always do when I see the chicks lay down sleeping but think omg they died! And he didn't move. I...

So, I'm starting all over from scratch ( ok I lied, I didn't find a home for ALL my roo's, I couldn't part with 2)!! btw...
I was wondering where can I find showgirls at? I've not seen any at the online hatchery. I was hoping to find local (around Hamilton county or northern GA) Does anyone know of any breeders around that may have what I am looking for. I know a lady in Delano that sells Turken and silkies, but I...
I am pretty new to chickens. Mine are about 6 months old. I have 4 hens/4 roosters (from what I can tell so far).
My question is, when do Roosters and hens mature as far as trying to mate, breed, lay eggs. Right now I let them free range all day and they put themselves up at dusk. Of course I...
I got this guy with a group of silkies amongst some other chicks. He looked like a silkie growing up until he started getting feathers and running around like a road runner instead of a clumsy little silkie. He has 5 toes and feathered feet with turquoise earlobes. He is about 6 months old now...
