    I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

    Here's my bunch, I'm wondering if they are roos. Out of my 4 bantams these 3 are perplexing me. They are about 12 weeks old.

    I brought home some bantams from TSC and they have feathered in but I cannot figure out what breed they are... Any ideas?

    What is this little cutie?

    Is it too soon to try to identify this bantam chick? I picked out 4 straight run from tractor supply and the breeds were random. Any help is appreciated.

    Is this a fungus? Missing feathers on face.

    Hello folks, My EE has been losing feathers on her face around the ear and top of her head. She is the bottom of the totem pole so at first I thought she was being pecked while roosting at night. I placed pinless peepers on the two culprits but the has been no improvement. It's actually getting...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Thank you for your kind sentiments LofMc! On a day that I feel horrible it really helps! I was trying to hatch cream Legbar chicks. I started with 12 eggs and out of those only 5 made it to day 20. I didn't mind the low hatch rate of shipped eggs because I had hoped to add only three additions...

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    This morning baby wasn't cheeping... Didn't survive. Found 2 others dead under mama also. I have two girls who started with 6 eggs each (shipped). My expected hatch rate was about 25 percent after candling on day 14. I noted all the bad eggs and removed any that smelled funny. This girl, my...

    New baby chick with mites

    Noticed mites on my broodies and started treatment with poultry dust. Now I think the newly hatched chick has them because I still see mites everywhere! What can I use?

    @Faraday40 and @Lady of McCamley thank you both for excellent advice! Lost one today, found the egg outside the coop cracked and cold. My Cochin must have had it stuck on her feathers. Poor baby didn't get a chance to hatch .

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    Hello everyone! I'm jumping on this thread because I have two broodies set to hatch in 4 days. My concern is the height of the coop and the ramp. Coop sits about two feet off the ground, ramp is not too steep but should I secure them in? Maybe for a few days? They have 16 square ft of space...
