My fiance brought home 6 chicks from the feed store tonight. I placed them in my brooder with a heat lamp, water and food. 5 of them are content. 1 of them is just yelling non stop, quite loud. He quiets down when I watch him. Is he possibly calling for me?? He doesn't have any signs of...
From what I understand- for the future- you should never help a chick get out of it's shell. I have read that they develop strength by fighting to get out of the shell. And if they do make it out, they are strong enough to live. The humidity/temp may not have been right if the chick was...
Ooo!! I have a blue EE looking hen that looks just like yours!! Except mine is from a Blue Orp Roo X EE Hen with the same results. Mine lays light brown eggs here and there. Good forager tho.

I didn't take pics but I had a Golden Laced Wyandotte that...

What kind are these (without pics, sorry). Or is...
Hello,
Can someone please post a pic of their adult or sub adult blue orpington. I bought some from a local breeder whom also gave me a blue orpington rooster who wasn't 'doing the deed'. They just keep growing and growing and growing! They are giants compared to my buff orpingtons, but maybe...
