Hello,
I picked up 5 eggs from a breeder who got the parents from Fibro Farms. They were all supposed to be silver birchen yeonsan ogyes, but only 2 hatched and both look different, and I can't tell if they are male or female. They are 8 weeks old, hatched June 11.
They are very similar to...
Hi - I hatched this one on June 11th, so it's about 8 weeks old. I keep going back and forth on whether it's a roo or cockerel. Anyone experienced with this breed have an opinion?
Thank you!
Hello,
I'm new to this breed, so I am not sure what to look for as far as determining gender. I hatched 5 chicks on June 11, so they are now almost 8 weeks old. I know some breeds are easier or harder to tell at this age, but I plan only to keep a couple of these, so I was hoping some of you...
I understand that and I did order one at the same time as the incubator but it hasn't arrived yet. Therefore, I was hoping for guidance on using it without one since that is my only option.
I got the Rcom max 20 and I am setting silkie eggs. I don't have the egg tray, only the universal try and dividers. If I set eggs on their side legthwise, how many can I set? It seems like when I put 4 in in row, some will roll against each other and make them sit at a weird angle and not turn...

I have 3 silkies and 2 went broody next to each other. I put 9 shipped silkie eggs under them, (4 under 1, 5 under the other), and there are only 3 left (removed 6 previously that had nothing happening). It is day 16.
The 3rd hen sleeps with the 2 broodies at night for warmth (37 deg last...
Hi, I tried reading through the threads and didn't see anything like this, so hopefully one of you can help me identify what is going on. I have 6 hens (just turned a year) and one of them sounds funny all of a sudden. When they talk to me, bawk, or whatever you call it, her voice is much...
I am not sure of the exact age of these 2, but I'm guessing about 5 months. One is a little bit lighter (more white). That one hardly has any red in the comb and barely any wattles. The other one has much more read about the head, bigger red wattles and has more black. I am pretty sure the...
