    Second Generation Sex Link questions

    I've already asked this once but the more information I read the more I want to know! I saw a post about 3rd generation Isa Browns being White and sweet and 3rd generation BSL chickens being a form of barred and not very nice but I want to know if anybody's crossed the two? I have one Isa Brown...

    Do eggs die if they aren't sat on for 2-3 days?

    I had 7 eggs under my broody and they've been growing but 2 days ago she stopped sitting on them and won't go near them. I collected them but I don't have an incubator. Another hen went broody tonight though and if they are still able to be saved I'll put them under her tomorrow. Here's a...

    What killed my chick and how did this happen? *Graphic images*

    I just walked out to feed and water the chicks and found one of our black pullets faced down and buried, literally, the chicks kicked up all of the shavings from one spot and covered her. At first I thought maybe they trampled her to death or something, she was one of the bigger ones though...

    What would be the outcome of a Red Sex-link rooster mating a Black Sex-link hen?

    Just curious. We have red sex links, black sex links, and possibly amber links. Out of those we have only one Red sex-link rooster, so what would the chicks look like if he mated the black sex links or the amber links?

    How long does it take a wet chick to dry?

    On of our little bantams had poo stuck to his butt covering everything and it room quite a few minutes of soaking and gently wiping to get it off and he could finally poo again.

    Assorted Bantams from Tractor Supply and Two Mystery "Pullets" from a different Tractor Supply

    So I posted about us receiving two pullets yesterday from a coworker and before I knew it I was at the store looking for a "couple" companions. We ended up coming home with several bantam chicks and some black sex link pullets. What breeds do you guys think the bantams are and what do you guys...

    Chicks to the coop plus a flock move/split?

    Okay guys, I made a post like a month or so ago about introducing chicks to the flock and my thinking at the time was it was research because we weren't going to get more chicks for at least a year or two. Well a year or two came today apparently, my fiancé picked up two chicks from a coworker...

    Introducing New chicks?

    Just to clear things up first hand, I'm not introducing any chicks yet(!) but I am curious about if I did decide to either buy some more chicks or incubate some eggs we have. Is there a certain way to introduce them that is safe and humane? Will one or more of the hens take them in? Do I need to...

    Can a hen live separated from the flock?

    For a while now I've been working on plans for a chicken nursery for the eggs to incubate and chicks to brood in the spring, the plan was if there was a broody hen and we were ready for hatchlings we'd move her from the flock and into the nursery until she and the chicks were ready to move back...

    Wounded hen.. what could've happened and what needs to be done?

    Hi guys, I went to tend to my flock tonight and my silkie hen, which we call the queen because she's the top of the hens as far as their pecking order, has this big dark gash in her side under her wing, I thought somebody must've just went on her at first but when I looked closer it is...

    Rooster behavior or something else? I need to know...

    I am convinced two of my roosters hate me if anyone can justify their actions I will be glad for it because I have 5 roosters but only 2 act this way. So story time: Our red sex-link rooster has never liked me from day one when I bought him as a chick, always ran from me, never joined the others...

    Can a Rooster incubate eggs?

    Hi guys my hens are starting to lay and I want to raise the eggs but I don't have an incubator, my first thought was to let the hens incubate them but I don't know if they actually will, another thought also occurred to me, I've never actually seen my hens sitting on their eggs, it's always our...
