    Mystery hatch - Breed and Gender of 2nd Grade Classroom hatches

    They are supposed to go to live out their lives as free-range birds on a family's farm, but from what I've learned, this is not a possibility for Cornish, as they would require a great deal of care. How can I know the breed for sure? Is there an age where it is clearly a Cornish? I don't want...

    Mystery hatch - Breed and Gender of 2nd Grade Classroom hatches

    That's what I was afraid of. Do Cornish come from brown eggs?

    Mystery hatch - Breed and Gender of 2nd Grade Classroom hatches

    I hatched chicks in my 2nd grade classroom. Got the eggs from a pet store in Orange County, and the parent picking them up didn't think to ask the breed!!! All the yellow chicks (some with a few black bits of feathers or specs of black down) were from large brown eggs. The different one was...

    Pecking sores, fowl pox or something else?

    Thank you! Poor girl, I had only witnessed one minor scuffle, so I didn't know she was being picked on! I hadn't tried breaking her yet, as I wasn't sure if she was sick. The crazy thing is, the pecking order seems to have changed. She (Ranunculus) used to be near the top, and now, I think my...

    Pecking sores, fowl pox or something else?

    I live in an area that doesn't have very many "farm animal" vets, closest we come is an exotic animal vet. Does anyone recognize this? What is it? What do I do? Is it contagious? She is staying in her nesting box...but she's often broody, so that's hard to determine if it is a symptom or...

    Temperature/humidity changes ratio of sexes?

    Thank you! I do know I'd be killing off the rooster embryos to try it, but I'd rather stop them before they really start and not worry about how to re-home them, and making sure they don't end up with someone with nefarious intentions... (I live in a city that does not allow roosters, and near...

    Help! Unabsorbed yolk or umbilical hernia?

    Totally fine, 7 weeks old. So bizarre! It didn't completely go away, there is still a darker, thicker area - but it doesn't seem to bother him!

    Temperature/humidity changes ratio of sexes?

    I have heard it discussed that male and female embryos have different temperature tolerances and that you might effect different hatch rates by manipulating temperature. My last two hatches consisted of 5 chicks (4 roos and 1 hen) and my latest of 6 chicks (4 roos and 2 hens). Am I doing...

    Gender check!

    I think it's a mixed breed chicken (a bit scruffy looking!). What gender would you think?

    Gender? I'd love some help!

    Classroom hatched chickens, and I can't keep roos! I think I have a good idea of who's who, but would love some advice before I start trying to rehome! We'll miss them, though. It's amazing how tame and sweet they all are. Chicks are 7 weeks old Aruacana Buff Brahma #1 Buff...
