This has happened to a couple of my girls throughout the years. I have had all recover with a lot of care. I thought I would share how I get them back to good health. Some girls it has taken a few days and others weeks. I still never 100% knew what was causing the wobble weak legs, lose of...
Looking to buy a couple of 2-3 month old Bantam Pullets. About 2 months ago, my Silkie hatched 2 eggs. Both turned out to be boys. I really want to start getting them some girls, so they can start creating their own flock. If anyone has bantam girls (any breed of bantams is fine) around 2-3...
Yesterday my Sizzle Bantam Hen had a Seizure and Died.
She was a little over 1 year old. I got her at 5 days old, and soon as she got to about 1 month old, realized she had something wrong with her. She always breathed really heavy. Had her blood checked, and no diseases. As she reached 6...
I pipped the egg, and saw the chick was super shrink wrapped. Must have been from the Crack momma hen accidentally made. Sadly the chick did not make it. We live in Colorado, so we do not have a lot of humidity. I should have moved the egg to my incubator once I noticed it developing under my...
I thought about pipping the shell for it, but didn't know if I could, since it has NOT internally pipped. Is it ok to pip the shell if it hasn't internally pipped?
I should also mention, this is a Silkie Chick. And the air sac seems to be about 1/3 the size of the egg. This was the only egg, so I do know how old it is. She actually hid it from me, and when I found it, it was as Day five of developing. So I let her keep it to hatch.
This is the most odd thing that has ever happened while hatching chicks.
It is Day 30, YES, Day 30! The egg has be moving for 3 days now. But there is no sign of internal pip. My chicks always hatch day 20-21. Ive never heard of a chick surviving this long in the egg. Any suggestions? Should I...

I am really trying to figure out if my Sizzle Bantam is a Pullet or Cockerel. It is 10 weeks old. It has not tried to crow. But, it fights both with my for sure cockerel and for sure pullet. It is the leader as well for my other cockerel and pullet, they just follow my sizzle everywhere. Im am...
