    Secret Chick

    The chick all dried out from this morning Possible fathers include the other partridge OEGB...or the Easter Egger (the angle doesn't really encapsulated the sheer fluffiness of their face that feeds my suspensions). Which might sound ridiculous to some but is indeed possible. I myself having...

    Secret Chick

    It's the time of year when the rat snakes come out to eat eggs and chicks alike. With how tiny the hen is she would likely be on the menu as well. I moved mother & chick into my predator proof poultry pen to prevent that

    Apparently she belongs to the neighbors across the street who has roosters. Judging by the size of the eggshell, it was absolutely layed by this Old English Game Bantam hen. My chickens free-range so she likely flew over the fence and decided to brood in an old bucket inside the coop

    Result of breeding two 6-toed silkies?

    Something I wanted to share that might fit this thread regarding genetics, a peculiar six-toed chick that I hatched recently. He was a silkie x mystic onyx (silkie + meatbird). The little mini toe is actually backwards on the foot—weird!

    Breed ID Needed

She was killed by a dog while I was at work a couple of days ago, but I want to figure out what eggs might be her's since I currently have some broody hens. She loved to follow me around, such a...

    Breed ID - Adult Hen

    A coworker dropped off some hens today. A couple of elderly ladies that would have otherwise been stew in a few days. He said they were labeled as Ameraucana when he got them, one in particular is definitely not: I plan to get a better picture in the morning. She has a faint barred pattern on...

    He was. Which is why it was so shocking to discover this morning. Despite treatment and improving with flying colors—he still died.

    He is getting grit (And yes I'm aware apples should be under 10% of their total diet. He only got a single apple slice total). Luckily, he has remained alert through all of this.
