    mille fleur d'uccle - hen or roo?

    I ordered a female mille fleur d'uccle online back in June and am suspecting that she might might actually be a roo. I’ve seen her challenge our (much bigger) cockerel a few times but didn’t think much of it until i saw our other bantams egg was fertile. What do you guys think?

    Stray Chicken- Any breed guesses?

    Yesterday night our neighbor contacted us about a hen sleeping on top of his trash bin, assuming she was ours because we own chickens. We confirmed that she wasn’t ours and just happened to wander to their house but i assume she came this way because of our roosters crowing. We kept her...

    Does personality = gender in chicks

    How often is it that chicks that fight the most in a group, tend to fly onto you, and are very interactive end up as roosters? Does personality often indicate their gender?

    Bulut or Keep Single Duckling

    Earlier my parent bought a tray of balut eggs she said she got from the farmers market and told me that the seller said they’re all fresh and raw, and that the ones in the middle could actually be hatched. Knowing that my family was planning on eating them in a few hours I managed to get one in...

    Egyptian Fayoumi personality and temperament

    In my chick order i added one female egyptian fayoumi chick and was wondering if anyone was ever able to get it tame enough to be ok with handling. I understand this breed is generally flighty and prob won’t be too kind, but i’d like to hear if anyone was ever able to “tame” one.

    Bantam white crested black polish size

    I ordered two straight run bantam white crested black polish chicks along with a couple other chicks and was wondering what size they generally are. Are they more silkie sized or like a standard polish, just smaller?

    Lowest hatching egg storing temp

    I got a few eggs from a free range farm today and they were big, beautiful dark browns and giant blue eggs. I wanted to incubate a couple after i cracked a few and saw some chances of fertility but am afraid that the temperature they were kept at killed them. What is the lowest temp that would...

    Silkie Grandparent- Chances of silkie offspring?

    Hi! I hatched five chicks in the past three days and was wondering if there’s any chance they could have that signature fluffy look, or even just some frizzles here and there. Their grandpa was a buff silkie while the grandmother is a barred rock. The father of my five chicks mostly presents as...

    Day 20! Pipping then no movement

    Last night one of the eggs started pipping and poking at the shell and since last night it’s been more than 7 hours and there’s just a small bit of progress since then. Another one started pipping too but we also haven’t seen movement coming from it. When is it time to help them out?

    Day 19! Excited and anxious

    The last time i candled the eggs was on day 17 and all of them were alive and moving. Had a bit of an issue with the air cells being small but i was able to make them a bit bigger before i put them on lockdown and raised humidity. I heard that around this time i might be able to hear the babies...

    Day 12- Air cell question?

    Hi, this is the first time i’m using an incubator to hatch eggs and second time i’ve been able to candle and watch as the chicks grow inside! However because my hen had taken care of them the first time i‘m not sure what i should be looking for. I’ve been very anxious about the humidity in my...

    Which humidity is correct?

    Trying to figure out what high and low temperature mean on my thermometer and which i listen to (yes the temp is too low, i’ve then fixed it). Is the humidity really 77% or 40%? (update: the reader is currently still changing, so it might just be adjusting to the humidity)

    Brooding Hen with Bugs

    My hen has been sitting on her fertile eggs for about five days now and all has been going smoothy except for today i saw small yellow bugs that i assume are lice or mites on her body. I heard that sevin dust would kill the bugs but i also heard they are a bit harmful; i dont want the eggs...

    Fertile or Spoiled?

    Hey i'm back with another question. A while after i thought my rooster did not have any interest in breeding with my hens, he started mounting them. He's a silkie while the hens are standard size, so fertilization is less likely but he tries multiple times a day. One of my hens two days ago went...

    Egg Fertility

    I've been planning on incubating a couple of my chickens eggs but am worried that they aren't fertilized. When i first introduced my rooster to my two hens he went straight for them and attempted to mate with them. However, he is a silkie so he's smaller than the hens. He's been with us for a...
