Hey everyone! We just picked up our Swedish flower hen chicks this morning and noticed that one of them (Sunny - "Sunflower") has strange toes. They are not straight like the rest and kink off to the side (see foto). The sections that are kinked off still move around (almost floppy) so I think...

One of our baby chicks just hatched and I noticed something hanging out of it. It looks like the chick didn’t absorb all of the yolk or something all the way. With the other 6 that hatched I’ve not seen this. 1 still had the membrane stuck from the shell and I just let that fall off on it’s on...

Very 1st live, healthy hatch 🙂Immediately knew he was (is) a rooster by his demeanor and stance...isn't he cute? He is a cross between a black fuzzy face Olive Egger mama and a Birchen Cochin Bantam papa

I have this baby chick we hatched and she seems to have several bald spots. She is acting normal, eating and drinking good but even her feathers are coming in very different then the rest. Should I be concerned?? She was hatched like this so I know it’s not a parasite. I have never seen this...

Hi! This little guy hatched from under its mother one hour earlier. It seemed that the hen was pecking the egg to help it come out and we were watching as it came out. However, when it did, it had a little yellow sack attached which the hen started devouring it, and it seemed that it kinda...

Hi all, I've just adopted 5 baby chicks that a friend hatched from eggs. They are now 3 weeks old and are adorable, however I have no idea what breed or sex they are! Any guesses would be warmly welcome! Thanks =)
