    Comment by 'ikoCRO' in article 'How to check if my unhatched chicken is alive?'

    You are making claims that are not true, but you are just advertising a product that has nothing to do with the topic. There is no way you can kill a chicken this way (if you knew anything about incubation, you would know why), so don't write lies! From this video, one of the 17 chicks...

    How to check if my unhatched chicken is alive?

    "Lamping" eggs by dipping them in water. Of course, it is not the classic lamping, but a slightly different method that is ideal if the egg is dark in color or is already in a late stage of development when it is not possible to see if the chick is alive by the lamping. Why is it important? It...

    A mental disorder?

    Sorry for the late reply, but the rooster died. His feces were normal, he could not stand on his feet, he had no mytes, his throat was clear, his internal organs were normal... He could NOT eat or drink on his own, I had to feed him by hand, and he drank water on his own - only when I put a bowl...

    I think I got scammed…

    I don't know how it works in the USA with hatcheries and the sale of chickens, but I think the best thing a beginner should do is join the nearest breeders' club! In that club you can hear smart advice from experienced breeders, get recommendations on where to get or buy the desired breed ...

    A mental disorder?

    Yes, I force-feed him and he seems to accept it very well!I haven't given him raw egg yolk yet, but I give him "starter for chickens" mixed in salted bread (I make balls and feed him that way) I will definitely try the Magnesium/Epsom salt bath, thanks for the advice!

    Ducks vs chickens. Who’s messier?

    Ducks are very messy! Even if you keep them on concrete, they will soon make mud! That's just the way they are!

    A mental disorder?

    Greeting! In my many years of poultry breeding, for the first time I am faced with the problem that my silkie rooster currently has. It all started when all four of his silkie girls became broody. They were horrible, they stole each other's eggs, they lay on top of each other, they broke the...

    Guess what i just got🤭!!!!!

    In fact, the partridge color is pretty much standardized in Europe and I know a lot of breeders who have excellent specimens with excellent, clear silkies in partridge color. The problem is with the blue and lavender color, which are very rare. Likewise, in Europe there is a problem with red...

    Do you think this would work?/ more of my late night questions!

    Silkies are walking incubators and that's a fact! Last year one of my girls became broody after laying her first egg in her life! I personally have to regularly remove the eggs from them, because if they see a lot of eggs in the nest, they immediately become broody. On the video you have proof...

    Do you think this would work?/ more of my late night questions!

    Many breeders,inbred animals. Animals that are related by blood have bad genetics. Such animals are not resistant to diseases, they give bad results in offspring... Regular introduction of other genetics into the herd strengthens the genetics of the herd and such animals give the best results...

    Silkies are a very resistant breed of chickens - even though they don't look like it! I have already shown you that I have little silkies, even though it is snowing outside. I have never had sick silkies in my life (I have been breeding them for about 7 years). Hard summers and winters are not a...
