    One of each?

    Was well shocked when *she* pipped out from under her mumma with a bump of fluff on top of her head! Hehe

    One of each?

    Aww thank you! I think the black baby has much more developed comb and legs seems thicker and feet bigger.

    One of each?

    Hello, just wondering what others think about the gender of my hens two new chicks? They are just under two weeks old. I think I have one of each. What do you think?

    Do Rhode Island/Barred Rock sex link cockrels kill Silkies?

    I had a lot of trouble with my RIR/BR roosters. One was insanely aggressive, and they seem to grow massive. Pretty strong too! Sorry about your loss. Hope it's all working out.

    Baby chick with MUCH shorter body than siblings

    \ To be perfectly honest I wouldn't be surprised if it was something to do with that. I have thought a million and one things. It doesn't really help when they go radio silent after you buy it now. But they did "confirm" before hand that they were pure breed parents. And after playing stupid...

    Baby chick with MUCH shorter body than siblings

    Thank you, that's good to know, she is definitely doing the same as all the others, in fact for her smaller size, she sure knows how to dominate the feed bowl :) she doesn't seem like a runt as such. She just seems different. Can the runt have a dominate personality over the others? Was...

    Baby chick with MUCH shorter body than siblings

    Hi there, I recently hatched my first batch of eggs. I ordered them off Ebay. They are of Black sex link breeding, A RIR father and barred rock mothers. Ive ended up with 5 beautiful, strong little hens. So lucky I know!! Now they all look fairly similar, completely black with little cream...

    I see, this makes me feel good about the situation so thank you. And bless your doggy, she sounds like a SUPER STAR!

    Dog has Intel on what's in the incubator??

    Ahhh very interesting ty. So does her behaviour change as soon as she realises an incubation is in progress? He seems to have calmed now but at first it was kind of like when a dog senses someone is coming round and they go on some sort of low key high alert. Mixed with lots of pausing at the...

    Dog has Intel on what's in the incubator??

    Thank you both, I had wondered whether he could smell or hear something but don't know if I'm over-estimating his senses. Its funny you should both mention him picking up on my emotions. I hadn't really been nervous or anything because I wasn't even sure if any were viable and went straight to...

    Dog has Intel on what's in the incubator??

    Hi there, I'm relatively new to the chicken keeping world. I'm currently incubating my very own batch of backyard chooks. I have done it before. But not for quite a few years. To get to the point, what's different this time is I have a dog. The incubator is in a dog proof place. It's day six...
