    I'm wondering how it's possible to get one black chick and one white chick from the same parents. Mom: super blue egg layer from my pet chicken (mine looks like a larger traditional white leghorn with some crest on her head, all white- single large comb) Dad: Blue orpington (almost a split...

    To help or not to help?! aka what do I do?!

    This chick is on day 23 of hatch. Pipped this morning and I thought it was in the wrong area... pipping on the wrong side so I opened it a little to try to help.

    injured leg, or mareks?

    5 Week Old Chick Feathering poorly, skinny... any ideas?

    I purchased blue orpington eggs. They hatched out and there was this little black one, sort of the runt but fluffy. All the chicks are now 5 weeks old and this little black one has poorly developed feathers- she looks like a vulture, and I felt her tonight and she is skinny. Could she have...

    Good or bad rooster?

    I have a 12 week rooster that is starting to mount now. The hens are also 12 weeks. He pulls them by their feathers and they are traumatized. They are avoiding him now. He is a buff orpington and has been skittish since he was a chick. I give the hens treats and they eat out of my hand...
