    Crossed beak chick. Help!

    The swelling in the eye has gone down considerably but not completely yet, it’s able to open it but is still very wonky on his feet (I thinks that’s partially my fault since I assisted hatch and it bleed out)

    my incubator had just reached 21 days and started to see a few cracks. This morning I checked on them and one of the chicks had its beak and toe hanging out of the crack it made.

    Chicken genes and how does lacing/ double lacing work :question:

    Thank you for all the amazing responses. Unfortunately this morning a fox got into their pen this morning, seems like it squeezed through under the door after digging a hole🥲. Found the remains to my beautiful hen “baked bean” who is the blue golden laced Wyandotte and my vorvork “cheese” has...

    Chicken genes and how does lacing/ double lacing work :question:

    I’ve owned my own chickens for about 5 years now but haven’t been getting too much into genetics until 2 years ago. I have a basic understanding of colour genetics and all that hocus locus but I’m still lacking when it comes to understanding the complexity’s of lacing and double lacing, how they...

    First duckling with heavy breathing

    Today I brought home my first ever duck. She’s a 2 week old Muscovy and when I was spending some time with her I noticed some heavy breathing. She is still breathing through her nose but chest is rising an abnormal amount . I’m currently thinking it could just be stress or not having deep enough...

    Egg bound or neurological?

    My 8 month commercial brown later seem late like she has gone egg bound once again. This is the second time this week that she has shown severe symptoms (tail down, lethargic, struggles with moving) and at this point I think it might be neurological ☹️. I can’t feel the egg but I’m also not in a...
