Hello
I’m experienced with hatching eggs and shipped eggs. Black copper marans eggs) I let them rest, hand turned 3 times a day. I had them upright the whole incubation including lock down. Out of 11 that went to lock down 3 never pipped/quit. Two hatched hydrocephalic both I had to assist or...
I purchased them as Brown leghorns. But they are super friendly, curious and not skittish. They don't have white earlobes, they have yellowish legs that look like I sprayed Brown paint on them. [/IMG]
I was given this hen with the Brahma in the pic but no one has any idea what type of chicken she is. She is pretty skittish, blind in one eye, so I can't get a better pic.
She is white with a dusting of gray on her feathers from her waist back. Single up right comb kinda small and triangular...
Got these pullets ( I hope) off CL. Each pair were in pens with others that looked the same. The black ones have feathered feet no adults were in their pen to compare. Thats my Brahma I got them for. The gray ones have clean dark legs and there was one full/ heavy bodied hen in with them. I have...
I've noticed one of my little chicks- some type of bantam I was told- Has a crossed beak or it doesn't line up properly. at 6-8 weeks old and as crooked as it is now what is the usual outcome?
Is this going to be a losing battle?

My little silky girl "poopie" laid her first egg today, she is extra special since out of all 8 of the chicks we picked in the beginning, she ended up being the only girl the rest either died in the first few days, or turned out to be roo's. This is also our first egg ever!! AND we got to watch...
Any ideas yet, the silky's are 10 weeks, hatch mates, the gray one stands tall and chest bumps and foot fences with another chicken the same age that I am sure is a roo. The orange one seems rather obvlious to everything and is more skittish--behavior wise they seem to be telling me, but I would...
Picked up 2 barred Rock chicks yesterday, He said they were pullets,, now after some reaserch on head spots, overall color, and legs I am thinking I may have 2 cockrels.. any opinions? My last attempt and 4 silkys currently have 4 mix's 2 looking like regular chickens, and I feel like 3 Roo's
I bought what I thought was 4 silky chicks, I think I ended up with 2 silkys and 2 something cute I don't mind either way, I am just hoping to learn more about what ever it is that I have. They all have black legs, 5 toes, but the brown and the cream have regular looking featherss, the brown one...
Here is my little group, two are labeled but hidden behind another. Silky chicks, I think one may be a mix but we love trouble either way! Can't wait to see the teenager stage.
I just wanted to check in,, most of the chicks are doing great (we got the 6 little chicks 3 of the chicks looked like they were a day or so older than the other 3 they are all now barley over a week old. One of the smaller 3 went down hill pretty quickly sat morning found him when I switched...
I got this little one named Trouble with the rest of the "silky chicks" she has a black beak, black legs n feet 5 toes, but she is the only one who's feathers are growing in looking normal and the other 4 have feathers that look more like hair after the pin sheath comes off. The chick is only a...
I just got my silky chicks today from a local lady. I have never had chickens before, but always knew I would. We have various other pets, dogs, cats, parrot, and numerous box turtles. The chicks we got are just a few days old- small enough that i think if you tried you could fit them back in a...
