    Rural King mislabeled chicks

    Rural King had these labeled as Colombian wyandottes but they have feathered feet so I know that’s not what they are. Does anyone have any idea what they may be? Looks like orange skin with four toes. I’m not good with comb types so I don’t know what that comb might be.

    Chick color question

    I had a broody sitting on eggs that have just hatched. Possible mothers are red frizzle cochin, buff brahma (bantam), white silkie, splash silkie, silver sebright, golden sebright, or black tailed buff japanese bantam. The possible dads are a white cochin or a white silkie. I've ended up...

    Miracle hatch

    After a broody up and leaving the eggs, a 6 hour power outage, and limited heating options one of my eggs has pipped. I have them in a box under my Eco Glo brooding plate and I have a dish of water in the box. Is there anything I should look for or be aware of while it's hatching? The...

    Broody just up and quit

    Well my broody gave up and left 5 eggs with only 4 days left to hatch. They’re cool to the touch. I don’t own an incubator and at this point in the day am not able to get any type of heat light or anything. I have them under my brinsea eco glow because that’s the only thing I have that puts off...

    Any guesses on the parents

    So I have this cute little baby that has chipmunk stripes. The options for the mom are a white silkie, a splash silkie, two red frizzle cochins, a silver sebright, a gold sebright, and a bantam buff brahma. The options for the dad would be a white cochin or a white silkie. As you can see from...

    Egg emergency

    I had two broody hens sitting in eggs. The first set hatched yesterday. I went out this morning and the other hen has abandoned her nest to help take care of the babies. I don’t know what to do with the other eggs. I don’t own an incubator. They have at least another week before they hatch...

    Question about dominant traits

    I have 3 new babies that have hatched and one still waiting to hatch. So far two of them have black skin, five toes, and feathered feet. The other one has black skin everywhere but it's feet, which are pink, but it still has five toes and feathered feet. The one with pink feet has yellow down...

    My first baby

    My sillkie has hatched her first baby. She's got 3 more eggs to go. One of them is peeping so I expect it to hatch soon. I couldn't hear anything from the other two. I hope they'll hatch. This one has black skin but pink legs. I couldn't get a toe count but it has feathered feet. I'm...

    White cochin cockerel with mixed pullets-NC

    All of these birds were purchased as chicks from TSC in April of last year. We have two cockerels, the white cochin and a white silkie. We only need one for our small flock. You can see in the second picture, the frizzle cochin is suffering from overbreeding. Since purchasing these chickens...

    Opinion on eggs

    So my girls just started laying. I got two eggs on Tuesday and I've gotten two today. From the looks of things it appears I have four different eggs so maybe I have four girls laying. I know the two eggs on the left look pretty similar but in reality the bottom left egg is shaped more like...

    Our first little egg!!

    This isn't my first, first egg because we had chickens before but had to give them all away. We got a new flock of all bantams, frizzle cochins, silkies, and sebrights. We'd seen activity in the nesting boxes the past few days but no eggs. I just went to check today and I found our first egg...

    Another silkie sexing thread

    It may still be too early for these three. I got them on June 5th. I am 99% sure the solid white one is male. He’s bigger than the other two and has wattles. He’s also getting color in his comb. The other two have me stumped. Which I know is typical for silkies. We’re trying to weed down the...

    One lone chick

    Well after the debacle of our Meyer Hatchery delivery and 10 of the 15 chicks being DOA we’ve ended up with just one survivor. We have 8 older chicks, 4 around 10 or 11 weeks old and 4 around 8 weeks old. Do you think it would be ok to put the new chick in with the older chicks? They are outside...

    New babies

    Well, we ordered 15 straight run bantams from Meyer. They shipped out Monday. We're in NC. Upon arrival today at 12:30 10 of the 15 were dead. I think we'll probably lose another one as it doesn't seem to be doing very well. :( It seems, from various threads I've seen on here, Meyer isn't...

    Red Frizzle Bantam Cochin

    I have a beautiful red frizzle bantam cochin that I need to rehome. I think he's around 8 weeks old. I'm not sure how old he was when I got him but I think I remember they said about 4 weeks. I've had him about 4 weeks. I paid $5 for him. I live in the mountains of NC, near Boone, and would...

    OEGB but what color?

    When I asked before I was told they’re OEGB but I’m wondering what color they are. I haven’t really been able to find an adult bird that has these same colors.

    Bantam breed and silkie colors

    I picked these little guys up this morning at TSC. I know pictures 3, 4, and 5 are silkies but I was wondering what color they might be. 3 and 4 are more gray than 5. Also I have no idea what breed 1 and 2 are or if they are even the same breed. 1 is more reddish than 2 is. Any help is appreciated.

    Strange egg

    We got this tiny egg today. I figured it’d just be a fairy egg but cracked it open anyway. The contents of the bowl are what I got. It’s almost like the yolk is clear with that weird thing in it. That inner circle that resembles a yolk is tough. It won’t bust. Any ideas?

    Duck egg?

    Is this a duck egg? We have a pekin. As far as I know she's not at laying age. We have several chickens but I know what all their eggs look like. The shell is harder than a chicken egg and the membrane is tougher than a chicken egg.

    Broody question

    Our little bantam cochin was sitting on eggs for almost 3 weeks. They were due to hatch sometime this week. Something got in and took the eggs Saturday night. Yesterday when I discovered they were gone I put another egg under her because she was looking around for her eggs. Today I plan on...
