    Urgent sick chick not eating or drinking

    My three day old silkie chick is not eating or drinking and when I dripped a tiny amount of water into its beak it just puked it up a minute later. I've put it into the incubator for now, it was pretty cold. And the water I gave it had some sugar in it but not a lot. What do I do?

    Double yolker on day 14

    I set a double yolker 14 days ago. I just candled it, and I see lots of veins. I comparison to two other eggs of the same age, I think it looks good. I see dark, thick veins and two big yolk/chick masses. Air cell looks good, same as any others I've hatched successfully. It is either barred rock...

    Silkie with an extra toe?

    I had a silkie hatch yesterday, and on its right foot, it has six toes. I have another with its fifth toe pointed a different direction, parallel to its leg. These are not my chickens, I hatched someones else's eggs for them. I'm sure an extra toe won't affect health much, but why does it...

    Sick?

    My 6-7 week old chick Grizelda is acting weird. She (i hope a she) is stretching her neck out to breathe and constantly shakes her head. She did this a few days ago and then got better, but now its back. Any way I can fix this? Also, she makes a really hoarse chirping sound instead of a squeaky...

    Breeding cockatiels

    Hi, I have three cockatiels in an aviary, two males and a female. There are two hollow wood breeding 'boxes' (like the ones they have in the wild) and they have a varied diet of fruits and vegetables. What else can I do to encourage them to breed? The female is over a year old, and the intended...

    Strange colour feet?

    I have a chick about five weeks old, and it's legs and feet are black with the middle toes bright orange. The chick itself is nearly all black, with white markings on its head. The parents are both white leghorns. I'm just wondering, is there any breed that has feet like this, or is it just the...

    Limping cockerel

    My Barred Rock cockerel limps on his right leg. He doesn't have any injuries or anything. He is young, but very tall, and his legs are really long, and I'm wondering if this is normal for a BR. His legs make up about half or more of his height. I would post pics but I lost my iPod charger.

    My chicken got attacked by a dog

    She's not eating or drinking, and has a small but deep bite on her lower back. It happened at about 1pm on the 13th. What can I do? I have used antiseptic powder, but she still isn't eating or showing any signs of getting better.

    Candling

    I candled my eggs today at day 4. One has a moving red dot with barely visible vens. Two look similar but without visible red dot or veins. The two have large yolks, compared to a new egg on day two/three. The yolk takes up half of the egg, and has grown since day one. Does this mean...

    My first time Incubating

    I set three eggs yesterday afternoon in my JN12 incubator. If I get another egg today then I might put that in, because they will still be due to hatch within 24 hours of each other. The incubator seems pretty good, it was set on 38 degrees celsius, but I changed it to 37.5. Was I supposed to do...

    What eggs should I incubate first?

    I'll be ordering an incubator that can hold 12 bantam eggs or 9 big chicken eggs. I have a choice of my hens eggs, if they are laying in one or two weeks time. The babies will be cross-breeds. Or I could maybe get some bantam eggs from the school farm. They have good quality sebrights, silkies...

    Does this incubator look good?

    http://alwaysdirect.com.au/digital-12-eggs-incubator-poultry-turner-thermometer-kit-semi-automatic.html I was thinking of getting it, but I have no experience of using an incubator, what they should look like etc. I haven't seen anyone on byc use one, and there is no feedback that I can find...

    Breeds?

    Okay, this is Mumble. He is a cockerel, at 3 months and 4 days. And this is Scootaloo, Mumble's half-sister. One more, Brownie. I only have one pic of her, and it's blurry, but I'll post more if anyone needs me to. (She's the brown one!)

    What gender are these?

    (The bottom and top are the same, and the second and third are the same.) These two were hatched on the 18th of March, and I have no idea what breed they are. I think the brown one (Scootaloo) is a pullet, and the black and white one is a cockerel, but a lot of people who see them think that...
