    Sexing silkies and polish

    She’s so lovely, my snowy hasn’t quite warmed up to people just yet, but I’m sure with enough treats she’ll change her mind on me

    Sexing silkies and polish

    Number 2 is my little snowy, I’ve been hoping she’s a girl, she’s much more timid than the others. I have two flocks at moment being separated, one went broody and hatched 2/6 eggs, the photos are of my bigger flock, these were bought as day olds when her hatch failed.

    Sexing silkies and polish

    Pic number 5 is my polish, Rocky. He’s 9 weeks old, I’ve been fairly sure he’s a boy but number 4 (Sky) is the one that has begun to crow and hits the neck of my small white (girl I hope).

    Scaly leg mite

    My broody has developed scaly leg mite, I have a solution to treat it however she has 5 two week old chicks, can I still treat this or could it harm the chicks, if so what else could I use?

    No pipping day 22 natural hatch

    Thanks, I tried tapping a few and can’t hear any taps back or any movement so I will candle them tonight, I don’t think I’m going to have a hatch though 😔

    No pipping day 22 natural hatch

    Hi all, I’m new to chicken keeping and have a silkie hen go broody recently, so I bought 6 eggs (postal) and let her sit. Today is day 22 and no pipping, should I candle? I candled on day 18 and 4 seemed to be developing, the other 2 eggs were removed. Could these four still hatch?
