This chick was in hard shape when it hatched. It did not eat for 2 days and I had to force it to drink. Awful. Now it's eating well. i have to wet the food or it does not eat. This chick is a week old today and very small. It is supposed to be a white silkie chick. I bought 6 eggs off ebay and...
I have one new hatched supposedly "white silkie". I am thinking it might not be white. What do you think? Just the one hatched out of 8 eggs. I have a good incubator so, I know it's not that. I have 9 guinea eggs and all of them are fertile.
Bear shenanigans. My omlet coops is a little messed up. Fixed it with zip ties. Lots and lots of zip ties and tomorrow or later this evening I might go and hog ring every single space where it connects. My hens are ok. Not much we can do about it. I don't like working out there without...
Here is my little silkie chick. His head still looks weird to me. He is super cute though and he is huge. I am thinking it's a he because of his size. He towers over all the other chicks that were born the same day as him. It looks like he has a double head or something. I posted another pic...
And here is the cone head chick. Odd looking huge chick.
Not sure what is going on with this one. It's huge compared to the rest. Often sleeps by itself. I am thinking it must be a male due to it's huge size. I love silkies. They are the funky cute chickens. I have 7 total out of 12 eggs...
Is this normal to have a large lump on chicks head. I mean it looks almost like another head. It's odd. Not sure what to do here. It seems a little slow to get up. The other chicks are running around but this one is not. Is it a silkie thing? Maybe it will go away? What do you think?
I am wondering if chickens can be fed just mealworms and whatever they eat outside. Has anyone had any experience with this? It's been awhile since I have had any chickens and I just bought some eggs. I am going to use chick food at first but wondered if I could go with just mealworms when they...
Our power went out at Midnight it's now 5:30am and we are just getting the generator up and running. Do you think they will be ok? It was only 25.1 c in the incubator when it started. I think that is around 77 f. I am sure they were not cold all that 5 hours. I had them covered with a heavy...
I have been racking my mind for an easy solution for a temp place for them to grow up. Ok so I cannot put them outside. I live in Maine and it would be too cold for chicks. I was wondering if an Armoire would work. I thought to put wire on the back and use the cabinet doors to clean it out. It...
I bought a heating element online from China for a few bucks and had the rest of the old incubator. The heating element stinks. I mean really stinks like burnt oil. I hope that will go away after awhile. I had to hook up a fan from another incubator, a thermostat from another one and finally...
I am wondering if anyone has this incubator. I am thinking of getting it because the two expensive ones I bought broke the heating elements. If you do have one I would like to know how your hatches did. I assume I will have to turn the eggs a couple times a day. It does not say it does it...
A few months ago I made a cat quilt. My hobby is quilting, crocheting, knitting and so on. A couple of weeks ago I donated a quilt to the Old Town humane society. They are doing a raffle with it. Here's the link to the news channel/video.

I got a young cockatiel for free on craigs list a couple of months ago. I have have been trying to gain his/her (not sure of the sex) trust since I have had her. She loves being on my shoulder. She would stay there all day if I would let her. We watch tv together, play farmville, sew, and she...
