    17 week old crested cream legbars

    Hi all, I hatched these little chickens in August this year. They're healthy happy and get along with the other birds in the flock. However, they look small to me I've never had cream leg bars before so am not sure of their size. I'm comparing them to my brahmas who are 4 weeks younger but...

    Hatching in egg cartons v lying flat

    Hi, I've been doing some reading and came across some threads about hatching using eggs cartons. I use a brinsea ovation 28 and a typical hatch usually involves 1 or 2 chicks hatching and then playing football with the rest of the eggs that haven't hatched or are pipped. At first I used to...

    Brahma chicks

    I hatched these Brahma chicks from shipped eggs. 7/8 were fertile and all 7 hatched. Now that they’re starting to get some of their feathers I’m beginning to wonder what they will look like when they grow up and become adults. The lady that I bought the eggs from said she has Lavender, blue...

    10 week old Orpington

    Hi, I’ve got this 10 week old Orpington but I’m not sure of it’s gender. It’s got a largeish comb and pair of wattles but they’re very pale compared to some of the 10 week old Orpington Roos I have. Many thanks

    Brahma chick

    Hey, I’m struggling to work out the gender of this Brahma chick. It’s 5 and a half weeks old, is it too young to be able to determine the gender? Sorry about the picture quality the little bugger wouldn’t stand still and was too busy pecking at the camera. Thanks

    Cream legbar chick

    I’ve never hatched cream legbars before and I can’t quite Workout what gender this chick is. With the others I can clearly see dark markings which I understand means that they are female. Can anyone help me identify the gender of this chick. Thanks

    Opening incubator during lockdown

    For all of the hatches I've done in my Brinsea ovation (I know its best not to) but I always open the incubator after some chicks have hatched. Reason being after some chicks have hatched they try to start walking and roll over pipped eggs. I open the incubator to turn them back over but have to...

    Is this an Orpington chick?

    So around 3 weeks ago I bought 12 Orpington hatching eggs off of eBay. I had 10 out of the 12 eggs hatch and the chicks are amazing. However, one of them has feathered legs and I’m not too sure if Orpington’s are supposed to have feathered legs. I’ve attached some pictures but they’re not the...

    Does a clutch of eggs increase the chances of a broody chicken?

    I’ve had Orpington’s in the past that have gone broody with no eggs in sight. But I was wondering, if you were to leave a clutch of eggs in the nest box would this increase the chances of a chicken going broody? Thanks

    Chicken laying small eggs

    Hi all, this hen was hatched last year and is around 8 months old now. When she started laying her eggs were of a small size which I thought was completely normal for a hen who had just started laying. But as the months went on the size of the eggs she was laying never changed and when compared...

    Experience with saddled shaped air cells

    Hi, I’m currently on day 14 of incubating 11 shipped Orpington eggs, I candled today and all of the developing embryos seem to be thriving although some of them do have saddled shaped air cells.

    Incubating shipped eggs on day 13

    Hi all, so I’m incubating some shipped eggs in my brinsea mini advance. The temperature is set to 37.5 degrees Celsius, humidity is around 45-50% because I candled on day 7 and some of the air cells were saddled and looked too big for day 7. The eggs are set to turn every hour. I candled today...

When I first noticed that there was something wrong with her she was moving slowly and her crop compared to the rest of the flock was very large. I didn't think much of it and...
