    Blacktail Chicks - sexing?

    Hi all, I have some really gorgeous blacktail chicks which are sex-linked and the girls are meant to brown while the boys are yellow. Most are pretty obvious whether they are girls or boys, but I seem to have one which is mostly yellow but with a little brown on the neck. Would this be...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    I hope they are pure breds - that's how the eggs were sold to me!! However 1 has only 4 toes on each foot, 1 has 4 toes on one foot and 5 on the other, and the third has 5 toes on each foot. How bizarre!

    Polish bantam screeching, not clucking?

    Thank you! So glad to hear that it is normal. Yeah she quietens down when I let her out to roam the garden - so I guess it is just a matter of making sure she's out nice and early before she wakes up the neighbours!!

    Polish bantam screeching, not clucking?

    Hi all, my polish bantam has never clucked or make "normal" chicken noises. Instead she screeches constantly. And I mean CONSTANTLY. In fact it's driving us mad, and getting worried our neighbours will start to complain! Here's a link to a video I took of her cry. Any ideas why she is doing...
