    Silkies - What color am I?

    The only thing I know is that they came from Hoover and their website says white, blue, black and buff. But these don't appear to be those... *Shrug*

    Silkies - What color am I?

    They are from Hoover Hatchery, if that helps.

    What breed am I?

    I thought bantams were smaller, she probably 4lbs or so. Not much smaller than my standard chickens. Is it possible she's a modern game? That's what I normally think but I think her legs are the wrong color.

    What breed am I?

    I've got everybody else in the flock figured out except Mama P. Every time I think I've got it, something doesn't match up. Especially since she went broody and co-hatched chicks this summer. Help!

    Broody bailed - Need help

    We are in the high 60's. I have a thermometer under the heating pad currently and it's reading in the low 90s.

    Broody bailed - Need help

    So, my broody hen hatched one chick and bailed. Thankfully I have another broody that doesn't have a clutch so I handed off the eggs but now I have a cold chick under a heating pad. Never dealt with new babies before, only the very active 2/3 day olds shipped to me. I've got the heating pad on...

    Goslings and Heat Plates

    Hello, I'm looking to add 3 goslings to my chicken flock. Has anyone used a heat plate successfully with geese? I've read their heat requirements are slightly different than chicks but am wondering size wise, if I can be successful.

    Vent gleet?

    Early April hatch. I think she may be a BB Red Game but not sure on that.

    Vent gleet?

    I don't believe she has begun to lay yet. From what I could see there wasn't any egg material but I'll get her bathed and take a closer look. No reddened area that I could see initially either. I'll try to post back after I get her cleaned up.

    Vent gleet?

    I watched her eat well today but she was definitely not as perky as normal. I believe today is day 3 like that but I will admit I don't always get home in time to do a thorough check on all the girls before dark so not completely positive.

    Vent gleet?

    No bakery smell there. This was the first day she let me get anywhere near her but I noticed what I thought was goopy stuff day before yesterday and couldn't find her yesterday

    Vent gleet?

    No local vets that work with chickens :( it is super stinky slime poop or so it seems

    Vent gleet?

    New to chickens this year... Is this smelly stuff a sign of vent gleet?

    Pullet or Cockerel

    Nope! But the Cochin has three weeks on the Delaware so he's got time :) This is my first year with chickens so I guess I'm not really sure what normal timelines are either though.
