    Alien in Nesting Box

    Why do you say is not good? They all seem to be doing fine for now. Definitely keeping a close eye on them though.

    Alien in Nesting Box

    I already threw it out. Hopefully won't see anymore but will keep an eye out.

    Alien in Nesting Box

    What is this thing?? Found it in a nesting box. My first thought is an underdeveloped egg, that shriveled up but I just don't know. First time seeing this in the 3 years I've had chickens.

    Hatching at different times

    Thank you for your input! This makes me feel more at ease. I'm slightly nervous because it's gone so well thus far lol.

    Hatching at different times

    Hi! This is my first time hatching using an incubator. I thought I they would've hatched around the same time but I've got quite the variation right now. 2 of them are about 15hrs old and fluffy now, some just hatched this morning, and there's about 8 eggs that have only pipped. How long can...

    Illness or Old Injury?

    Any ideas what this leather-like patch of skin could be? This girl also has a small nub/nipple looking growth on her belly as well. She is about a month old and has never expressed any type of discomfort. She's acting perfectly fine now even. These chicks have never enjoyed being held and are...

    Should I be Concerned? Voice gone...

    So this morning he seems to be doing a little better. Still raspy, but his sweet voice is back. Hoping it's just a short little hiccup. Thanks for your replies!

    Should I be Concerned? Voice gone...

    That makes me feel way better thank you, both! I will keep an eye on him. Hoping it's nothing. Also @Eggcessive great name 😂 We have a chicken I wanted to name Agatha and my daughter said, "No Mommy lets name her Eggatha." Lol

    Should I be Concerned? Voice gone...

    Ventilation is good. There's droppings but no ammonia smell. I keep it pretty fresh in there. No issues so far other than his voice. Today is the first day though so I will keep an eye out for those problems thanks! Is this a common issue? I'm finding a lot of threads on here but no one seems...

    Should I be Concerned? Voice gone...

    So my little silkie roo has lost his voice. Is this common or should I be worried? He just started crowing about 2 months ago. His crow has been pretty strong, but this morning you can barely hear him. He sounds very raspy and there's no pitch to his voice. Almost like a broken squeak toy. He...

    FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

    Hello all, I'm new to this page so forgive me if I'm not posting in the right place. I have a quick question to my fellow floridians: Are there any requirements to breed and sell chickens in Florida?

    Triple yolk egg?

    Watching this thread to see what it ends up being! That's a whopper! We had a huge one a couple weeks ago (pic attached). It was way bigger than the double yolkers we've gotten in the past so I was hoping to see 3 yolks when I cracked it. Ended up being just a really big double yolker. Would be...
