I had two silkies go broody. They sat on 26 eggs. I float tested the eggs after about two weeks. 12 failed. I left the remaining 14 under them. We received our new incubator right before it was time for lockdown. I brought the bantam eggs inside (7) and put them in there. (I want to raise them...

I sit here and stare at my eggs. Trying to match the chicken to the egg. How many eggs of what color we get and how many chickens we have of each breed. I always think I have it figured out, but I'm always wrong. I need HELP. I want to put Polish and Silkie eggs in the incubator to hatch, but I...

Most of the silkie crosses I have seen have had the black skin and five toes.. Do all silkie crosses have that? I'm trying to figure out if my buff orpington bantam babies are polish or silkie crosses.

We had a little silkie chick hatch out of what we thought was a Polish egg. (It could have just been a larger silkie egg.) When it hatched, it was supposed to be all white (Both parents should have been white silkies), but it looked like there was a lot of brown on it. I though it was just...

My brother has been begging and begging for a macaw (Mainly Scarlett, but he has looked at others. I don't think he really cares what kind as long as he gets one). He's been asking for a while now and my mom always tells him he can have one when he moves out (in about a year). Well, we bought a...

I have two silkies that have been nesting together. They have had 5 chicks hatch so far.. The first four did great. They are all fluffed out, active, and healthy.. But I'm worried about the last chick. It's the most recent one to hatch.. It was getting out of the shell at about 8 this morning. I...

We put 8 eggs in the incubator, previously under a broody hen... We removed the smaller eggs so they didn't get trampled by the standard sized chicks when they hatched... Plus, wanted to keep the silkie chicks inside, if there are any. There are three different colored eggs. White (1), cream...

I brought one of my silkie hens inside and put her in a crate... I let her sit in there for a bit to get used to it... She and the chicks in the brooder were "talking" to each other... after a while I took my two one day old chicks out of the brooder and put them in there with her... They didn't...

I hatched 2 polishxsilkie chicks this morning and was wondering if I can bring in a silkie hen to mother them? Will she take them or is this dangerous to the chicks? We have a partridge rock that will sit on eggs for about an hour or two, but then seems to get bored.... would this be a...

We have two call ducks... A mallard and an unknown breed. The mallard's a male and the unknown is female. They're about the same age... around 7-+ months. Why is she so small?? She's about half the size he is... Is it just the breed/age/gender? We used to have two crested ducks (lost to...

I don't know if they are or not... They may not even be close to show quality. We got them from Cackle Hatchery. They have all of their toes, no deformities, no special needs, they're all looking healthy (except for Sammy, she's a little bit underweight), making lots of noise, they have all of...

My mom and I put some Polish, Sexlink, New Hampshire, Rock, and Silkie eggs in an incubator last month. This morning we heard a pip. We're not sure which one it is, but my mom thinks it's a Silkie because we know it's not a Polish and so far, most of the other eggs have been double and triple...

I got two chicks from TSC and I have no idea what they are! The only suggestion we've had is Deleware. Lucifer- We think he's a roo Nugget- Not sure, hope it's a hen Together- (^^^ This picture doesn't do Nugget justice, her comb isn't that pink/red..Lucifer is the blurry chick) (^^^...
