    Broody Bardy Broken Beak

    I have blukote- thanks! Is that just to give it a protective barrier?

    Broody Bardy Broken Beak

    Man, crickets. Anyone? Should I leave it alone? I don't want to stress her if I don't have to, but I also don't want it to split. I'm just not experienced enough to know if that's likely to happen or not.

    Broody Bardy Broken Beak

    Say that 3 times... ;) So my poor broody had an overgrown beak when her chicks hatched (just from sitting around I suppose). I inquired about this on one of the active broody threads twice- wondering if I should do something. Received no replies. The long tip of her beak has now cracked off...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I'd give her at minimum another 24 hours. If you've been having record heat there like we've had here you might bring some water by periodically for her (supervised only, so the chicks don't fall in).

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Quick question: My broody now has chicks. Her upper beak is somewhat overgrown from lack of normal wear. It doesn't look critical yet but it's definitely noticeable. She still eating just fine, but if it gets much longer it will probably be a hinderance. Do I need to worry about this or is...

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    Does anyone have a picture of what a white or light standard sized Turken that is missing the NN gene will grow up to look like? Had one today from a bonus hatching egg. She (if a she) is going to be a pet or a layer- we are not culling for genetics, as this is just a little backyard...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Hatching out some fluffy faces from blue-shells! I'm sure some will be denied the Ameraucana label by the Ameraucana police, so I'm posting here for my favorite group of non-judgemental chicken enthusiasts. XD
