Hello everybody. This isn't a question so much as a weird thing I noticed. I've had quail for a little under two years and I've had 3 roosters, Blue (Falb fee), Pip (Tibetan) and Chip (son of Pip, also Tibetan). Blue mated with everything indiscriminately but always hung out with my Falb fee hen...
Hello. I'm expanding my flock to include chickens now. I'm currently on day 6 with some eggs I ordered online and I was wondering how they might turn out. The eggs are from a black blue cochin hen X black silver frizzle satin pairing and a partridge smoot satin hen X red smooth satin pairing. I...
Hi Everybody. My first chicks are a a little over a week old. I bought a variety pack of eggs so I have no idea what colors I have. From what I've read I believe that I have two tuxedos and one that is some form of golden. I attempted to feather sex them since some of the flight feathers came...

I am aware that chicks need companionship. There are 15 chicks that hatched from our class and there are 15 people signed up to take them home, so I can bring home one from my class. I will be getting a silkie from a feed store to be Cluck's companion. How far apart in age can they be? Also is...
Hello everyone,
This is my first post so I apologize if I get the formatting wrong. I am a pre-veterinary major and in my animal science class we hatched chicks. They hatched on September 30, and I am taking this one home on Monday. This is my first chicken and I would appreciate any help...
