    How long can incubating eggs be cold and still survive?

    From experience hours! And with a broody hen I've had her acccidentally leave eggs out and they were cool to the touch- no telling how long they were like that and they hatched fine. Others go eat and dust bath for a few hours leaving their eggs and they are fine. I really think if it's a...

    Strange Silkie/frizzle chick. Anyone seen this?

    This is what he looks like now on both sides. I'm wondering about offspring- do you think he carries both but separately or can his offspring also be half like this??

    Lump on chicks head, bleeding?!

    I hatch chicks a lot and this is from a broody hen. But I helped this one hatch by taking off the shell after it zipped. I originally saw this spot bc it was born with it. Part of it was bald and a little blood spot in the middle. It's only a day old. And it's eyes are looking small and I think...

    "Unlucky in hatching"

    Maybe it's not the best way- but for us the fastest way to kill them it a very sharp knife and cutting off their heads fast. We tried the twisting of the necks but it didn't seem to work fast enough and I don't want them to suffer. They still move after it happens as in the term a chicken with...

    "Unlucky in hatching"

    Just wanted to share our rooster journey so far. We started out with 7 chickens and all were killed by puppies and dogs so we started over. I got 21 mixed breeds as chicks and out of those 12 were roosters. Like you I just wanted more hens so I incubated. Out of 16 that's hatched 13 were...

    Strange Silkie/frizzle chick. Anyone seen this?

    It's been a few weeks and you can see more of the frizzle and smooth combination. It's looks to be at least half rooster so far. And maybe even has 2 combs with one side showing more but not sure yet

    Strange Silkie/frizzle chick. Anyone seen this?

    Well after some research it looks like it's a chimera. Which I'm a little confused about exactly how it occurred. But from what I've read it can be from 2 sperm fertilizing 1 egg which could have happened because I have a Silkie and a frizzle cochin rooster. I'm not sure if it can still occur...

    Strange Silkie/frizzle chick. Anyone seen this?

    I just hatched chicks from my flock to get sizzles. Half Silkie and half frizzle Cochins. I did get a bunch of cuties with frizzle feathers. But this one is strange. It's literally half frizzle and on top of that it's got one blue Silkie foot. Well it's leg is blue and it's the 5 toe Silkie...

    Chick with a blister under its foot??

    i have 5 new chicks and from morning to afternoon one chicks feet were being attacked and pecked constantly by the others. I inspected them all that morning so I know there wasn't any blood or wounds. It's like they were just picking on it. It's toes were bright red and some parts bleeding. I...
