    Slow Growing Chicks

    Hi, I am in need of some help. I originally hatched three pekin chicks from my hen. They are now nearly two months old and two of them have barely grown. They have been given chick crumbs etc as usual and I’ve never had problems like this. One of the chicks however was a lot bigger than the...

    It's day 22 internally pipped but no movement !! Plz help asap

    I would give it another day, I think interfering with the hatch can cause a lot more damage. If it’s not chirping or moving there’s a chance it might not have made it already or it could just be resting.

    It's day 22 internally pipped but no movement !! Plz help asap

    Hi, what type of egg is it? It usually takes around 24 hours to go from internal to external pip. I would give it another 24 hours and see if anything happens. Can u hear any peeping or anything?

    Are my Silkies pure?

    The breeder only sells pure silkie eggs. I asked for 6 red silkie eggs but she may have slipped a gold an Partridge egg in there due the low eggs produced. It makes more sense now as I was pretty sure the darker one was not a red silkie however time may tell. Thank you for your help I understand...
