    Silkies

    We purchased some silkies. They are about 6ish months old.. I know for a fact that “A” is a rooster. But is “B” a rooster too. Even tho its tail feathers are different? Thanks!

    Help!

    So two of the babies didn’t make it. They were still in the egg somewhat and one only had the layer of the inside on it a little.. Is it possible she is trying to help them get out and that’s what is killing them? They were still underneath her. I’m really not sure what is going on. Could...

    Help!

    The ones that did not make it were from a previous hatch. We were camping and I was not around to actually see what happened. When we made it back, there was 3 on the ground and one in the laying box with mama. But not Alive. They did seem to look “normal” for baby chicks. I’m not sure if she...

This is a younger hen, and she has hatched out a few and they did not make it. My question is, I have some that have Pipped.. and I see movement. Do I just kept a...

    Any guesses?

    I honestly think they came from a person and not a feed store. So definitely a possibility they are mixed. What do y’all think about gender tho?

    Any guesses?

    All these were given to my brother. He has no idea what breed or gender. Should be almost 8wks. The last pic is a collage of 3 different birds and was told that they are bantams. Roos or hens? TIA

    Feather problems

    They have not pecked at each other in our space, but I’ve seen chicks have tiny spaces in the feed store. I’m wondering if it’s because of that and just taking its time to grow back. I’ve had them for about 3 wks now and they haven’t gotten worse, but not much better. Their space is about 15...

    Feather problems

    Hello, my mother showed up with these 2 babies from a local feed store. They were a few weeks old when I got them and I’ve had them for a few weeks now. I’m guessing anywhere between 6-8 weeks. When I got them they already had feathers missing. These are the only two I have like this. And I’m...

    Gender?

    Hey Guys, I know it’s early but trying to figure out if I’m close, these two are both lavender Orpingtons and about 6wks old. I’m thinking I have one of each gender.. because they are so different. Whatcha think? Thanks in advance!

    About 17weeks barnyard mix, roo or hen

    Hey chicks are about 17wks old. I definitely think the #1 is a rooster. But not quite sure about the others. Mama hatched these out herself. TIA

    Hen and chick.

    I guess I have a staggering hatch, because my day 21 was estimated for tm, yesterdays hatch was a surprise. I did just candle them and 6 have definite movement. And two of those are pipping now. So I would assume within a 3 day span they will all be hatched? I’m not really sure. I have done...
