    How bad is this scissor beak?

    Thank you for taking the time to respond and thank you for the link to the article. My waterer has a pretty big base and I have a rat proof feeder that’s deep enough. I’ll just have to swap to crumbles! Thank you

    How bad is this scissor beak?

    This is the first time I’ve ever encountered a chick with scissor beak before, and I was just wondering if someone more knowledgeable could let me know how bad it is/how I can better accommodate this fella. The entire clutch has some issue one way or another but I’ve just come to accept that I...

    Broody hen keeps getting off her eggs

    I have a broody silkie, just over a year old. I want her to hatch out some chicks but she keeps getting off of her nest. It happens randomly. Like, she’ll be doing super good and staying on all day, and then she’ll get off for three hours or overnight. I cracked open a few of the eggs she’s been...

    Mystery Bantam

    I picked up this tiny chick from tractor supply along with 2 silkies and a golden serbright. I thought it was a black tailed japanese but it seems to have little white tail feathers coming in. Any ideas? Last pic is compared to a silkie the same age

    Deformed baby! Help!

    I’ve been incubating three silkie eggs I bought online and only one of them survived. The other two died mid hatch and never pipped. The last one was peeping up a storm and I could see it wiggle and try to get out but it just couldn’t seem to make a hole. I made a safety hole and assisted the...

    Detached Air Cell?

    It’s been running at around 40% and the two other silkie eggs I have both have smaller air cells and have been treated the same. They’re going into lockdown tonight

    Detached Air Cell?

    I had silkie eggs shipped in and one was a dud and now one has a wonky air cell. Is it detached? And does it effect the hatch rate? It’s day 16-17

    Shrink Wrapped Duck?

    I'm a bit concerned about my duck being shrink wrapped. I noticed that the air cell was getting bigger and bigger and the shadow inside of the egg got odd shaped like it was pressing against the duck to make a weird shape. I tapped open a hole into the aircell so I could see what was going on...

    Mottled Silkie eggs (infertile?)

    I recently bought four silkie eggs online and when they arrived the box was completely crushed but the eggs appeared to be fine. I candled them and all four of them are mottled and have rough feeling tips. Today is about day two or three and I'll know either tonight or tomorrow if they're...
