    Broody??

    I have had something similar to this… and the hen died. What does her poo look like? Does it look parasitic or a wacky green colour? We had a Sussex hen acting just like this, so we separated her with a clutch of eggs, and she didn’t touch the egg and passed a day or two later. Hopefully this is...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte cross hen?

    No she was from a backyard breeder near me, but I think she was just bad quality.

    Silver Laced Wyandotte cross hen?

    No, she’s a female. She has laid many eggs and hatched her own babies, unless a cockerel can lay and hatch eggs then she is a hen. I have now sold her because she isn’t breeder quality. I’m pretty sure she just wasn’t pure.

    No we have gave them to someone who can raise them better and has better facilities. The little female disappeared when she got to her new farm, but the little boy is still thriving and loving life. He is the roosters little friend 🤣.

    Entry number 3. Big-sis trying to keep her little siblings in line (my favourite photo) 😇. (Big-sis is the oldest duckling who hatched 4 days before everyone else, so she was always the biggest and the boss, the others treated her as a mum 🤣)

    Entry number 1. This first-time Guinea Fowl mother trying her best to protect the brood 😂. She managed to sneak away for a month and hatch out these babies without me knowing, then came back with 18 little ones 🥺🥺🥺.

    Silver Laced Wyandotte cross hen?

    I have a year old SLW hen, and she was sold to me as a pure SLW. But she looks to be a mix, she has really bad lacing and has a much bigger comb and wattle. What breed do you think she is crossed with? Also have a look at her tail… it’s different to my other wyandottes.

    A 6 week old chick, with an upside-down head?!?

    Today he’s been much worse. I’ve been giving them a chick starter / duck egg mixture and nothing helps. His head is now completely upside down and he has these “episodes” where he falls over backwards and can’t seem to figure out how to move around and stand back up. We might have to put him...

    A 6 week old chick, with an upside-down head?!?

    A 6 week old chick, with an upside-down head?!?

    So I have this little Aruacana chick, I think is a rooster (let me know if I’m wrong) and he has his head slowly going upside down. The only times his neck and head are straight and normal is when he is drinking water. Besides that it’s sideways. I’m quite sure that it will go completely...
