I hatched some eggs, but I cannot figure out what color this girl is. Any guesses? I was thinking possibly scarlet or red range, but these are my first quail so 😅😅😅
I would also love some suggestions of what color boy I should put with her since unfortunately I had no males hatch so I will need...
Looking for ID on these guys. They’re 5 weeks old. I’m pretty sure they’re mostly old English bantams and there are two that have feathered feet that I’m pretty sure are d’uccles but I’ve never had any so I’m questioning it. :rolleyes: Also if anyone has guesses on pullets or cockerels those are...
So last hatch I had some problems that were related to bad or fluctuations in temps/humidity (spraddle leg in one chick, a late hatch, and shrink wrapping during hatch) so I decided that my hydrometer/Thermometer might be problematic.
I bought a govee wireless dongle version so my phone would...
They will likely be fine because it’s so early on, and I know people do keep the humidity lower like that on purpose to make sure the eggs lose enough moisture. Humidity becomes much more important during lockdown.
I have the same incubator and I eventually rolled up a towel and wrapped it...
Thanks!! Yeah the darker head was what had me really questioning it once I got home and had better lighting. I guess I can make a blue black splash pen with what I’ve got 🤷🏻♀️ The naked neck isn’t normally what I go for but it’s personality is amazing. She ( :fl ) spent a good half hour when we...
Long story short, after the infuriating encounter with this breeder today I don’t trust their word, or maybe just their knowledge because they definitely didn’t seem to know how to tell if the chicks had the right combs…managed to get a couple straight combs in there :he. The pullet is supposed...
I know. They’re Mille fluer project chicks, 1st generation from another breeders new Mille line. Mom was a pure silkie and dad was a d’uccle/silkie cross with Mille pattern. Trouble and Dixie both also have single combs if you look closely, so I will not be breeding them and eventually I will...
The chicks are doing fairly well and growing. So far I’m thinking everyone is a hen except for Trouble and possibly Zeke.
Zeke however suddenly got wry neck a couple days ago. Personally I suspect that Trouble may have pecked him in the head as he is definitely a pecker. Zeke is currently being...
Back in April a decided to embark on my first hatching egg journey. I had been wanting to try for a while. I inherited my first flock of chickens when I bought my house and when we switched to silkies I got them as pullets, So I missed the chick stage twice. The pullets seemed lonely in the...
