    Chick Identification

    She was broody and mean for a long time and I didn’t notice how long they got. Next time I’m there I’ll bring my long gloves so I can grab her.

    Chick Identification

    I don't know. It's at my school, so I won't be there until Tuesday. I went today just to see if they hatched.

    Chick Identification

    I got a couple of fertile eggs with no information about breeds. It looks like one is either a black jersey giant or a black copper maran, but I can't find a good match for the chipmunk stripe one. I'm sure it's not an exotic breed. Thanks in advance!

    Southern Cali sustainability starter help

    I’ve had really good luck with tomatoes as long as they get lots of water. Cucumbers get bitter, but do better with lots of water. Blackberries have gone crazy! 5 years after planting 2 vines, I have an area that’s 4’ x 30’ and last year made 5 pies, 3 quarts fresh berries in the freezer...

    Broody Hen Not Stopping

    I put the Silkie in jail and after 2 days she wasn’t pacing in front of the closed coop anymore. Then the other one went broody, so now they’re both in jail (to keep the second one company-she gets loud!) Today she wasn’t as agitated, so maybe just one more night. After the Silkies are done...

    My Experience Raising a Single Chick...so far

    3 1/2 months old and is now as big as the other two. He's a lot fluffier, and has gotten new feathers in a new color, so now he's highlighted with rust. I'm dreading the day when he crows and I have to either rehome him or cull him...

    Broody Hen Not Stopping

    Thank you! I do have a crate, so I'll put some hardware cloth on the bottom and try it out. I would look into getting some hatching eggs, but my boss doesn't want me to keep adding more (I already went from 2 to 4). Now another broody question--two days ago one of my Silkies that I have at home...

    Broody Hen Not Stopping

    I have a broody hen that has been sitting for over a month. It is a school pet that I am taking care of, and I can only go every 2-3 days, so I take eggs and clean but the other hens keep laying for her to sit on! There are 4 hens all together, and this one is the only broody one, and she'll sit...

    silkies Day 20 no pips no chirps

    I candled my silkie eggs every day until pip day. I also had a DIY incubator. I didn’t have a good survival rate, but I don’t think it had to do with not having a true lockdown. Out of 5 eggs, one wasn’t fertilized, one was a 3-day quitter, one stopped moving day 25, one died 30 minutes after...

    Eggs After Medicated Feed

    My 5 month old Silkies just laid their first eggs! I read that Silkies are slower to start and could take up to 8 months, so I was not prepared. They’ve been on medicated chick feed, and I just got layer feed for them and non medicated chick feed for my 3 month old. How long does the medicated...
