    NPIP Question

    Hello! I’m located in North Carolina, USA, and I am wanting to become NPIP certified. I just ordered chicks and they came with NPIP certification under the hatchery. When would I need to have a technician come out and certify my birds again?

    Mycoplasma gallisepticum

    I’m pretty sure one of the first birds I ever bought from a man was infected. I was a novice and didn’t consider disease then.

    Mycoplasma gallisepticum

    Hi all! I was just wondering how long MG lives in the environment without a host. I culled all my birds back in November and have sanitized EVERYTHING. I now have baby chicks coming from Ideal, Meyer, and Cackle. I have even invested in a pair of rubber boots that I will ONLY wear at home...

    Breeding Lavender Mottled

    Hello! I was wondering how to effectively breed lavender mottled bantam Cochins. I was thinking of starting with just black mottled and lavender stock but then I had another idea. Should I also include solid black with the lavender and black mottled stock? I’m new to genetics and would really...

    Black Australorp?

    No, I don't. However, he hasn't started crowing so I assume he's about 5-6 months old and about to start.

    Black Australorp?

    Now I'm just hoping that everything ties together and he's really an Australorp.

    Black Australorp?

    This is not a hatchery bird to my knowledge. I was given him and a trio of Cream Legbars. I will look at the bottoms of his feet.

    Black Australorp?

    I was given a cockerel and told he was a black Australorp. However, I have a couple black Australorp pullets and their legs are darker than the cockerel's. Can someone help determine what breed this cockerel is please?

    Blue Ameraucana

    Blue Ameraucana — unsure if cockerel or pullet. I'm going to go with cockerel since it does have one awkwardly long tail feather. Approximately 4 months old.

    Cackle Hatchery Chick

    I think that I will post some more pics once the chicks get older. They're only 2 days old right now so it's hard to be sure what any of them are. I think my Sumatras could actually even be some kind of bantam.

    Cackle Hatchery Chick

    Thank you! I think that these chicks are standards though. The smallest chicks I have are the Phoenix. I thought they were originally standards but now that I'm looking at them they're much smaller. These silver ones are actually some of the largest chicks.

    Cackle Hatchery Chick

    Black Sumatra Phoenix — thinking bantam instead of standard Golden Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben Blue Sumatra

    Cackle Hatchery Chick

    (I assure you the chick pictured is alive) I ordered the weekly rare chick assortment from Cackle Hatchery. I just picked up my chicks from the post office: 4 black Sumatras, 3 blue Sumatras, 4 Golden Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhauben, 3 Black Breasted Red Standard Phoenix, and then 4 of these...

    Silkie — pullet or cockerel?

    My thoughts exactly. It does have a wide comb. I will take better pics when I can. Another thing that has me thinking its a cockerel is that it was chasing my turken pullet around yesterday. It was acting like it had intentions of breeding.

    Silkie — pullet or cockerel?

    I've got mixed feelings between pullet and cockerel. I'm leaning more towards cockerel but I'm unsure.

    Silkie — pullet or cockerel?

    Any clue as to whether this little Silkie is a pullet or cockerel? I assume it's around 4-5 months old but it's neither crowed nor laid an egg.
