    Chick leg injury

    She has 5 toes on each foot since she's a silkie. They're polydactyl. 🤞🏼 That we can keep her happy and healthy. My poor 8 year old always picks the under dogs to fall in love with 😞

    Chick leg injury

    She seemed completely normal for the first week+ until she went kind of splayed. When she was banded, she walked fine and everything lined up on her legs. I'll do some research! Thank you for the info!

    Chick leg injury

    I need some help with this girl here. She's a 4 week old silkie chick now. She had what appeared to be splayed leg at about 10 days old, so I banded her with a straw and rubber band. It seemed to help but while doing that, I noticed that her leg back facing toe wouldn't bend. I just figured...

    Gosling help!

    This little guy (African gosling) hatched yesterday and the incubator he was in, he didn't have room to move around really at all from what I was told. We put him in the brooder and gave him the night to get his legs under him. Well when I came to check on him this afternoon, I noticed that...

    Please Help - Gunky duck egg pipped - PHOTOS

    When I have chicks that are having trouble like this, I check them ever so often and when there's membrane that has no blood vessels, I pull the membrane back slowly. Since it looks like the membrane is separated from the shell, you could break small pieces off so you can see the membrane better...

    Newest feather baby cross!

    She escaped her cage a couple of weeks ago when my toddler figured out the latch :th but she's been separated from my chicken roo for 2 weeks now so I'm going to see if I can hatch some more. It's funny because even though she's a bantam she's still twice his size but I've seen it happen so...

    Looking for turkey hens in Colorado!

    I raise and sell turkeys and I've had someone reach out to me looking for some turkey hens. The back story that I have is that her grandma got 4 turkeys and they all ended up being toms. I gather that the grandma is now attached to the toms and isn't wanting to get rid of any which is...

    Newest feather baby cross!

    There are some fun markings coming in on my latest cross baby and I feel like sharing. Back story... I started my flock with some black silkie chicks (all hens) but I wanted to hatch so I snagged a couple of non HOA approved free old English roos. Voila! My own mini chicken crossing experiments...

    Installing fan... Please advise

    I got a dual layer incubator off of cl but the fan for thw bottom level wasn't installed. I've read that the air needs to blow upwards but I didn't know if that still applied since there would be eggs right above the fan and if it blows down it would be onto the water. The heat source is at the...
