    Any guesses on breed and gender?

    Hi All My partner bought home some eggs from a poultry auction. We think one may be a black orpington (in the first picture) but no idea what the other one is. Any ideas? And gender if anyone can tell at this young age (about a month) . Thanks

    Chick with crooked leg.

    Hi. I found one of my chicks with one of its legs bent sideways the other morning. She had been fine up to this point at 4 weeks old. I did loose a turkey poult the other day when it jumped on top of my waterer and got his leg stuck in the handle (I found him still stuck there). I had been...

    What gender for these three chicks?

    I asked about these guys a few weeks ago, any easier to tell now? The two bigger ones are 8 weeks old and the smaller one is 5 weeks old.

    Adopted after school hatching program, what gender?

    As the post says, wondering if these 2 are roosters. I'm pretty sure they are because they've started 'standing up' to each other like roosters do but am still holding out hope they are not because I will be keeping them no matter what! I have no idea what breed they are as they are...

    Roos or Hens??

The first pictures are showing a chick of unspecified breeding, her mum is an isa brown and her dad is a white americana or black americana. The second is an americana from a lavender mum with what is probably a...

    bad rooster fight

    Hi all - yesterday the kids came in yelling and screaming that the roosters were fighting. They often have a little scrap, but this one went too far. One of my roosters got injured around the head, particularly his eyes. 24 hours later and he still has his eyes shut. His comb is a bit...

    Day 23 - how long do I wait for?

    Hi - This is my second attempt at incubating and the first time around I had great success. 10 out of 12 hatched. However, this time put 6 eggs in and only 1 has hatched on day 21. It came out perfectly and quickly. I left the hatched one in for 2 days so I didn't have to open the incubator...

    Is this a Rhode Island Red?

    I am wondering if anyone can identify this chook. I bought her about a month ago at an auction where I was told she was a Rhode Island Red. She seems very small and surprisingly she laid an egg today (her first since I've had her), cream coloured with tiny white dots. I'm guessing she is some...

    my ducks gender

    I have 2 ducks that I bought before they were old enough to tell what gender they were. Recently they both developed curled tail feathers. However, I just saw one duck mounting the other while holding onto the neck of the other. I'm guessing this is something male ducks possibly do to each...

    Newly hatched chicks too active

    Hi All - we have 10 eggs due to hatch tomorrow but 2 have already come out. They are very active and are knocking the unhatched eggs around a lot, I think they think it's a game of soccer! They are completely dry and hatched about 10 hours ago. Is it ok to move to brooding box? Or should I...
