    Did I kill a baby chick?

    I had 4 silkies hatch yesterday. 3 were fully dry. While the 4th was hatching the others were pecking it in the face so I took the dry babies out and put them in a canvas tote under a heat lamp. They were all huddled together so I lowered the lamp. I put the kids to bed and came down to the...

    Olive Egger Question

    I have an Ameracauna, or I presume, Easter Egg rooster. I have a variety of hens but have only been collecting the eggs from my Black Copper Marans. What are my chances of getting Olive Eggers? My rooster has to carry the blue egg gene right? Are there any physical characteristics to look for...

    Olive Eggers

    Im new to all this. We have 4 Black Copper Marans (eggs are generally 2-3 on maran scale though), 5 Plymouth Barred Rocks, and 3 Golden Comets. We just got an Ameracauna rooster, although ive read he is probably an EE. Would any of those combos with our roo result in Olive Eggers? Or just the...

    I'm at a loss.....

    Hi all. Started our chicken journey in June with 4 6 month old BCM's. They were with a rooster, and an aggressive one at that so when we got them they looked terrible. We thought their feathers would grow back eventually but 3 months later they look worse. I tried chicken aprons for a month and...

    Sick chickens
