    Hatchling Help

    It’s acting 100% like a normal day old chick. It’s not acting like it’s in any pain but those spots are looking a lot less swollen today than they were last night when it hatched. We’ve kept it separated and been monitoring it regularly. It’s very responsive to our voices and is very active. It...

    Hatchling Help

    That’s our plan is to cull it but we just wanted to double check that it was the brain and not tumors or something it could live with first. Thank you everyone!

    Hatchling Help

    This is our last chick to hatch today out of our incubator. The other 8 were completely healthy and hatched more than 24 hours earlier. This poor chick hatched with what we are assuming is it’s brain sticking out of its skull in 3 spots…it’s acting 100% normal and active (we have separated it...

    Fostering: What dog breeds should we avoid?

    This is our handsome boy! It took some time to build trust with my husband but he was instantly protective of me and our 2 female bostons. He’s the biggest pushover out here and he worries about any small creature we find out here in the country! I have a video of him growling at his siblings...

    Fostering: What dog breeds should we avoid?

    Our pitbull is AMAZING with our chicks, cats, chickens, ducklings, and other dogs. Our pit was rescued from the pound after being severely beaten and used as a bait puppy. Our Pomeranian x Dachshund (Remington) kills EVERYTHING that moves. Remington has been raised with all our animals and still...

    Roo or Hen?

    Good evening everyone! Our newest chicks are right at 8 weeks old and we have a few mystery gender chicks. First off our little Frizzle. I’m thinking it’s a roo but not 100% sure. None of our babies are crowing yet and we have never had a Frizzle before. This one was a mystery chick in with the...

    What breed roo is this guy?

    Thank you everyone! We were thinking the 2nd one was BLRW but wasn’t 100% positive

    What breed roo is this guy?

    This is our other mystery breed. Also not sure if it’s a roo or hen...it lays in the nesting boxes like it’s trying to lay (never produced an egg) but it mounts our red sex links (never has crowed). We got it 05/26/2020 at a local feed store from their Silkies but we knew that was wrong from the...

    Will one turken be a problem?

    We bought 2 last June and they picked at each other but no one else picked on them. We just added 2 more February 24th and they’re getting along with the other 12 chicks of different breeds in our little brooder/run. We aren’t introducing them to the rest of our flock until all 14 chicks are old...

    What breed roo is this guy?

    Can anyone tell me what breed our rooster is? We had a White Leghorn roo that was too mean for our flock (gave him away) and our mail lady gave us this boy. He’s still young but already proven to be a good alarm clock and giving us fertilized eggs.
