...always a smaller, very round brown egg XD
A friend told me to make sure nobody has vent gleet... I haven't seen any, but I'm about to go looking, just to be safe. Would an infected cloaca, or maybe uterus, cause a white yolk??
Thanks for any help :)

Hey all!!
I've been lurking for a couple years, sorry for disappearing XD I'm graduating nursing school next month!! I can't wait to have free time again, and I have sooo many plans to renovate the coop and livestock yard :))
I've moved and added some new critters to the feathered and fur...
Hi all! I'm new to the silkie world... I'm guessing the frizzle splash (is that the right color?) is a cockerel? And the buff (or is this porcelain??) is a pullet? They are about 4 months old.
I know time will tell.... just wondering if anybody might know sooner :)
The "water plate" was warmed by the brooder... when I checked in this morning, they gave me a heart attack, I thought they were dead! Everybody is fine, just hanging out :gig
Ok so, I came out to check on them about two hours ago (3pm for me)... both moms came out to the main coop and were sitting by the big waterer :eek: the chicks were going back and forth between the moms, the other roosters and hens don't seem to care. I moved the small feeder and waterer near...
Quick update, I just got home from work, decided the moms/babies would at least be safer enclosed. They still haven't moved, but I got to see one little yellow one! The other chickens can see them but can't get in, and they've got food n water... will check again tonight :) as you can see in the...
Hi all! I've been incubating eggs for years now... the last time I let a hen hatch eggs, the chicks were extremely skittish (to the point of being untameable), so I bought an incubator for better handling results. Then a month ago, two of my hens starting sitting in a location I couldn't reach...
Thank you so much for this information. If I lose another, I'll send it for a necropsy. Really sucks that respiratory disease never leaves a flock... what a bummer. I'm still keeping a close eye out for mite activity, my pullet that passed did have Premoxil in her water, was hoping to prevent...
Hi all :)
I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short.
I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...
Haha how cute, Kiesha's new favorite thing is to find the biggest stick/log in the yard and try to play fetch with it lol. She's my first GS, I've had labs before, she's silly but very smart!
Oh it's a laughing face, turned on it's side. X is closed eyes, D is a open smiling mouth, so like a...
He's doing great! Has his own harem, he's king roo at my mother's place. A few months ago one of his chicks hatched without one wing, missing from the elbow joint down, just like him. It was so strange, I think just a birth defect but how ironic !
He still walks like a model, puts one foot right...
Actually, after doing some research, I'm wondering if she might be a Barnevelder mix? She's always been bigger than my other chicks/pullets, and she came out of a large dark brown egg. Her feet are sort of a grayish color, which makes me think she's a mix. Single red comb, still small, and her...
Hm, thank you! I'll definitely keep updating. She's so sweet, I'm thinking of getting more jerseys, but its a little late in the year... I'm addicted to hatching eggs, is it ever too late to have chicks? :p I also can't decide if I want eggs from my neighbor again, kind of depends on how she...
