We have a young silkie hatched Feb 23 (now is March 13) and was in with a second one. She is now segregated. One morning (about 5 days ago) I went to check on them and she was laying down on her side and doesn’t want to use one of her legs so she kind of shuffled around and pokes it out on...
I absolutely love waterfowl and would like to add some into my flock of chickens. I love Cayugas and I love black East Indies as well, but I also love American buff geese, pilgrim geese and Sebastopols. I’m looking for something that will be friendly and cute but also get along very well with my...
I’ve heard many different suggestions. From female pilgrim goose all the way to Muscovy ducks, I’m looking for something that will protect them from everything including dogs, while also keeping itself safe and also being friendly towards its people. What do you all suggest to protect my flock...
She’s been in the brooder but hasn’t been able to get both feet under her, we had to boot her feet due to curly toe but it seems as though one of her legs is broken or dislocated. It’s swollen and the joint is huge and unaligned and rough, she can only drink if I give her a syringe and is really...
Hey everyone- I had a little silkie chick who resulted from my female silkie getting out of my breeding pen and into my maran pen. So she’s half partridge silkie half black copper maran... but she’s having some trouble. She hatched out on her own, but she had curly toe, so we got her some little...
it’s really weird- doesn’t act like a cockerel at all. I have it in with 2 small Ameraucana chicks that are about 2 weeks old (the Cemani is about 11-12 weeks old) but will move them around and coo to them and with sit on top of them as well
I’ve never had cemanis before- so I’m entirely new to the whole sexing them thing. I only have one chick and (s)he is 2 months old now. What do you think (s)he is?
I am looking for some black copper maran hatching eggs. I had a very very beloved rooster who passed away recently and I am now without a breeding rooster. I am looking for some high quality black coppers with super dark eggs. Fertile hatching eggs or day old chicks. You must be willing to ship...
I’ve got 15 chicks, black copper Marans and olive/Easter eggers. Some of them are pretty obvious who’s who’ve but the others are more difficult. Help! The marans are 5 weeks and the eggers are 6.
Giving the whole flock the water won’t hurt, when I hatch out chicks they get an electrolyte in their water for the first day. Just gives them a lovely little boost!
