Thank you all for your input, he does seem very mellow but he is just a youngster. I haven't picked him up for cuddles in a while, I did pick them all up today to move them into a bigger brooder till I have to put them out side which I am guessing would be in mid sept to end of sept.
Thank you...
on the contrary I had a mixed breed that looked like a barred-rock and he was a mean ol'thing, I named Mister Attitude for a reason, he was also very mean to the girls I had to part with him.
I don't have much experience with Roosters, but is it true what I have been reading that the more you...
I have had a few groups of chicks already by now to assume I know 100% I got a rooster in this bunch of cuties.
I was told that its 100% all females, I do not think so so I am here asking y'alls professional opinion. Do I indeed have a roo?
In these pictures is 2 black australorp, 2 Blue...
Went to check on the chick-lets and realized that the ring is darker with no veins, so I have 2 quitters.
Thank you all for the lessons with the incubator. We have one chickie going strong so far!
So this means that the blue egg is a quitter due to something wrong with the mother or it just happens?
i dont see any blood veins like that in the blue egg, and brown egg that was put in at the same time.
The egg from the 22nd seems to be going strong?
These are the other two eggs, I rotated them and put the blue one in the first slot. I out the brown one on the end and the one with the veins in the middle to see what would happen the dates of the egg were written with regular pencil.
I put them in on the 19th - the day I set up the incubator got it early for my bday - wanted to do this for my kids.
Blue egg name is huggy (son)
brown egg is baby Cheeky (daughter)

these eggs im guessing are at day 12 by some guide I am using. When I candled the egg when I got it on the 19th the brown egg was more developed then the blue, so I thought the blue was laid that day not the day before (I missed a day of collection) so the egg might be a few days older, I am not...
Need eggspert advice on candle-lighting on this egg and in general.
its from one of my blue egg layers, I got the egg on the 19th the day before my birthday, my husband bought me a incubator and my blue layers are starting to stop laying So I wanted a baby of the one that's laying still (she...
ok things have turned around and now i am confused, She is cleaning herself. Moving around slowly even with a little hobble its not like she has blazing speed and can run.She is pecking at the kennel floor with that food around and has ate every bok choy i left in there and 2 watermelon balls...
she was one of my first, and the last one from my first batch of chicks. She ate some watermelon today, and hobbled about. She does stink like pee so I gave her a small bath. I will just make her comfy - I just dont want to put her back in with the rest of the flock and have her be pecked on and...
she is alert, not able to move around for some reason, as she fumbles about and wobbles. Her vent is clean and she has really watery poop. I brought her inside, and all she does is lay there with no intent on food or water, I picked her up this morning and noticed her belly was wet and I dont...
