    Mystery hatch - Breed and Gender of 2nd Grade Classroom hatches

    I hatched chicks in my 2nd grade classroom. Got the eggs from a pet store in Orange County, and the parent picking them up didn't think to ask the breed!!! All the yellow chicks (some with a few black bits of feathers or specs of black down) were from large brown eggs. The different one was...

    Pecking sores, fowl pox or something else?

    I live in an area that doesn't have very many "farm animal" vets, closest we come is an exotic animal vet. Does anyone recognize this? What is it? What do I do? Is it contagious? She is staying in her nesting box...but she's often broody, so that's hard to determine if it is a symptom or...

    Temperature/humidity changes ratio of sexes?

    I have heard it discussed that male and female embryos have different temperature tolerances and that you might effect different hatch rates by manipulating temperature. My last two hatches consisted of 5 chicks (4 roos and 1 hen) and my latest of 6 chicks (4 roos and 2 hens). Am I doing...

    Gender check!

    I think it's a mixed breed chicken (a bit scruffy looking!). What gender would you think?

    Gender? I'd love some help!

    Classroom hatched chickens, and I can't keep roos! I think I have a good idea of who's who, but would love some advice before I start trying to rehome! We'll miss them, though. It's amazing how tame and sweet they all are. Chicks are 7 weeks old Aruacana Buff Brahma #1 Buff...

    Help! Is this the right treatment?

    She lays on her tummy. At first, her feet were up by her head, and paddling on the ground. In the morning (I left her alone the first night) she had her feet under her, but laid on them. I put her in a splint (rubber band with straw piece on it) this morning, but she just laid on her feet...

    Help! Unabsorbed yolk or umbilical hernia?

    I'm a first grade teacher, and I've hatched eggs quite a few times, but this is new for me. I've left him in the incubator with a pipped chick --oop, now a hatched chick - but I took the others out, as they were starting to peck at him. He hatched about 6 hours ago. I put Bacitracin on the...

    I am a teacher and live in the south bay (Torrance, Redondo, Manhattan, Hermosa Beach area - near Los Angeles, CA). I am looking for a couple dozen fertile bantam eggs for laying chickens. I prefer clean legged, but anything is good. I have two mixed bantam hens currently, and would like to...

    Breed ideas?

    This is the singleton my bantam just hatched. Bought 7 eggs online, only 1 hatched. Don't know breed, and usually can't sex until they crow or lay!! Tiny chick, light brown egg, 3 toes, no foot feathers. Ideas? Autopsied other 6 eggs (knew 2 had loose air cells). All were yellow inside...

    Breed and gender of my 2 month old chicks...I'm baffled!

    I'd love some help! I think I have a roo and a pullet and an undecided...but I really don't know anything, as I haven't had chicks in many years! O idea what breeds... I'll be sad if I have to find homes for 2 Roos, as they are all so sweet -raised in a classroom, so they've been held a lot.

    Chick #1, #2 and #3 respectively. #1 and #3 have pinkish orange feathered feet with a bit of grey and four toes (#1 has one toe that is split into two - so one foot has 5 toes and his wing feathers have a bit of a separate diamond shape at the end). They both have olive greenish eyes. #2...

    Hello - I'm another newbie!

    Hi, I'm Tami and I'm a first grade teacher. I used to hatch chicks in my classroom and new a great lady who had "show" chickens. She'd bring me eggs to hatch, and then come back to pick up the chicks and show the kids some adult chickens. She was wiped out about 8 years ago with an avian...

    Teacher hatched bantams - what breed/gender

    I haven't hatched chicks in a while. I got the bantam eggs from ebay and 3 of 12 hatched. I won't let my students name them until we know which are pullets and which are cockerels (as I can't keep the cockerels). I'm afraid the class favorite might be a male! It is a gorgeous chick. Two are...
