im not a formal fella, but brinsea mini advances are by the best for me. (other than the unfertile and deformed eggs) you on average get a 95 to 100 percent hatch rate. there are other people what have more descriptive advice on this but personally brinsea is the way to go

Alright. Thank you so much for your help, one last question though. Would this be vent gleet? Thank you so much for your help again

Here is also a picture of her droppings while I was washing her. There is a lot of white stuff in the dropping

Alright, ill give her a bath and trim around her vent. I'll also convert her feed to a non medicated chick starter. Question, how would you feed the vitamins to your birds, thank you so much for your help.

Here are some photos of her vent and abdomen and her oil gland. It's hard to see her oil gland but it looks fine, just wet. She's about 4 months old. I was giving her durvet vitamins and electrolytes for poultry for her possible wry neck. Before that I was using corid for her possible...

hello! i have a white silkie bantam pullet with a poopy butt and wet oil gland, its been getting bad and i have no clue whatsoever what the disease, digestive, or respiratory issue it is. at first i thought it was coccidiosis, and i treated her with corid, a 5 day probiotic. but it didnt work...

hey i totally get that!! your birds seem very well taken care of and they seem very very happy. lovely leghorn and possibly blue cream light brown dutch bantam. they seem happy healthy and very well fed:gig

yeah, thats most likely a boy, but a very nice one though. he is a very nice partridge he could give some nice chicks. he seems very sweet and i hope the best of luck to the you and your flock :)

that looks like a cockerel to me. you can tell by the underfeathering of the bird, and saddle on his/her back. its a very nice cushion and tail for a silkie. but do take this with a pinch of salt, silkies are hard to distinguish of age and genetically 70 percent of silkies hatched are male. best...

no problem!!! best of luck with your flock!

wow, that's a hard one. She has some very cool and wacky colors!!! closest color she would be in Standard would probably be a Blue or possibly a splash. off colors would probably be a porcelain/cream color. she is kind of hard to differentiate, but she is a very very cool bird!! best of luck to...

no problem! you or your parents have some very very nice birds, and i wish you the best of luck in your flock!!!

So from the looks of it number 5. is possibly a partridge, she has a very lovely crest by the way. number 6. is a paint with some sun bleach but a very nice bird. i like the cool colors from 1. to 3. but I cant really think of any standardized silkie colors it would match. i would say 1. is a...
