    Australians - Where are you all????

    I have always had chooks growing up, and my kids had had 1 or 2 over the years, but it wasn't until 6 months ago that my interest in the different breeds grew. At the moment I have a silky and frizzle that are both laying, 14week old buff Sussex, Sussex and australorp. I did my first incubation...

    My chick died tonight

    It's been a sad night tonight as I lost my 5 week old chick called 'Crimson'. I'm at a loss to explain why.....I fed and watered my chicks this morning and sat and watched them for a while and never notice anything was wrong... This afternoon at about 4.30pm my daughter noticed she was standing...

    Thick shelled and dark colored eggs????

    Just a thought, I don't have a auto turner in my incubator so it didn't matter about which end contained the air cell.they were all placed on there sides. I'm not sure this would help you though....

    That's the membrane surrounding the chick. It looks like its quite formed although hard to tell unless you peel the membrane back so you can see how formed it is. Then it may give you a clue

    When will my hen become "un-broody"

    Interesting thread. My hen chicks are 12 weeks old, she is still broody with them. They sleep with her (x3) and are all bigger than her. They all follow her around and she has a go at anything that comes near her babies, generally rabbits, or other hens......I've tried separating her during the...

    When you candle use a pencil and draw a line on the egg (fat end) where the air sack finishes. Remember, the black in the egg is the chicken and the light bit, should be the air sack at the fat end. If you hear no cheeps you can make a little hole ABOVE the line (fat end) and have a look.
