    I am going through the same thing right now with one of my chicks :( He was 4 days late hatching. He pipped a head sized hole in his egg, but didn't progress from there. I could here this clicking sound coming from the egg. I gave him a day to get out, but still no progress, so I gave him some...

    Hi, from NS Canada!

    Hi Pent, I live in NS too. I've recently moved here and love it!! I noticed there was some button quail for sale on Kijiji. They are located in Wolfville and I think they're asking $10 each. Have you checked out the Facebook group, Maritime Fowl? It's a great group! People are full of great info...

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    Thanks! I appreciate that you understand where I'm coming from. I wasn't intending to bash the breeder, I just simply won't buy from her again.

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    The color is definitely right, but my blue bird has ear tufts and a beard. I know she's at least part Ameracauna. Maybe that's the other part. Who knows. Thanks for posting!!

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    Thanks myhubbycallsme chick! That's all I'm saying. I am a registered dog breeder, and we have to abide by very strict rules to call our dogs purebred. If I sold a puppy as purebred that wasn't, I can be fined $5000 per dog sold. Our laws state that animals sold as pure bred, must be just that...

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    She does have ridges. Maybe she is part buck eye. It sucks that I paid the pure bred price for them. She probably saw that I was inexperienced and I wouldn't know the difference. It's really hard to tell when they are chicks anyway. I will never buy from her again. Losing almost all my birds was...

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    I've never seen a RIR without a comb either. Is it possible she could just be a late bloomer, or are they completely full grown at 10 months? It doesn't really matter anyway, I just thought it was strange. I've been waiting for it to come in, but I think that's just how she looks. I was a little...

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    Thanks That's good to know! I thought they were all supposed to have a comb. So I guess 2/3 conform.

    10 month old RIR still has no comb

    I was just wondering if this is normal. She's been laying well for a few months. The girl in the background is supposed to be a purebred Americauna, but she's huge and lays a brown egg! I've gotten my new chicks from a different breeder this time. I've had a lot of problems with the batch of...

    Chicken Found Almost Dead!!!!

    I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago I had 2 RIR's. They both seemed perfectly healthy. I went out to collect eggs and noticed one in the nesting box with her tail down, and really not looking good. I moved her so I could keep an eye on her, but she died later that afternoon. I have no...

    Hi Chirpy chickens! I absolutely love my Orpington! She's my favorite :) She is on the top of the pecking order in my small flock, so they can definitely hold their own! She has a great personality. She runs right up to me when I'm in the coop. I had an orpington roo that I gave away and have...
