    Gender?

    This chicken as far as in aware is mixed breed but appears to have some Orpington in it. I was sure it was a male but after seeing how little it's comb and wattle is compared to other males the same age (6months) is making me question myself. Could anyone help?

    I have no clue?!

    This chicken is a mystery to me. I thought she was a North Holland blue as that is what all of the other eggs hatched to be but I just can't figure out what she is does anyone have any ideas.

    Chick going unconscious

    I've been feeding watered down egg yolk over the past day as I was unsure what else to give and it is feeding well on it. I gave a few drops of honey water when I noticed he stopped opening his eyes. He's got pasty butt so I've been cleaning that, but currently he's very loudly cheaping away but...

    Chick going unconscious

    I have a 4 day old chick who's not been eating and drinking on their own so I've been assisting with that. One moment they are chirping and sitting up then they go limp and unconscious for a minute or two. When awake the eyes are never open, could anyone help with what could be wrong and what to do.

    Yolk still visible

    Thank you for your reply! He passed away this morning, a little fighter but just not strong enough. Sadly this means I currently have one quail on its own as I've had no more hatch, he's very noisy crying out.

    Yolk still visible

    My quails hatched last night on day 21 alot later than due. One of them has a small bit of its yolk sac still outside its body. It's not huge only tiny and on its lower abdomen. I can't find anything about this being normal or what to do. Any help?

    Eggs gone cold

    Today is day 7 for my bantam eggs they are under a hen however when I got up this morning I found she had got off and abandoned them. They were cold to touch is it likely they are still viable to put back in heat or should I chuck them.

    Assist hatching

    My mama hen is sitting on some eggs and the last two she's somehow cracked. ( It's not a pip) it's day 21 would it be okay to assist hatching and try help the little one? I'm worried it will dry up.
