    Mushy Chick & what to do?

    Is this Mushy Chick and what should I do with the chick? They are still in the incubator drying out. Is this just a cull situation? Or can it get better on its own at all? It seems to not have any other symptoms except the fluid sac on its low back.

    Clan Spiral breeding question

    So I am hoping to start spiral breeding for a few breeds and I was wondering; Do you keep the 4 clan coops as the breeding coops but put the breed not currently being bred in a different area so you can keep them together but put them with the rooster when it’s time to actually get fertilized...

    Buff Orpington 4 weeks old. Sexing help.

    Here are my two BO chicks. They are 4 weeks old. I know it's still too early to tell but I thought I saw some pinking on one of the combs of Ariel. They were purchases from a farm with a 90% sexing rate for pullets so they are suppose to be female, but you never know. Pics in the next post.
