My chicken RJ - naked neck x white leghorn
she’s two years old bred from me
she’s just finished being broody but now she’s gasping to breathe and not eating, she also has an impacted crop.
its not canker as has been on medication and not helped
i have massaged her crop and it’s not moved, i...
i’ve never had problems when hatching and this one took a while to get out of egg and not fully developed, i know it will die and it might be best if we let it pass on, but i was wondering why this has happened and what i can do to stop it happening in the future!
she’s 2 years old
transylvania naked neck x leghorn
she’s lethargic got a solid crop and breathing weirdly
i don’t think it’s impacted as it’s not big enough but i can feel all the food in it
i’m not sure what to do i’ve tried massaging her crop but i can’t find the blockage!

i’ve had two brinsea mini incubators for three years now, my hatch rate always being 100%or as close too it but recently the embryos/chicks have grown to full term and then they just die 1 or 2 days before hatching, i’ll be lucky if 2 hatch and i just don’t understand what’s happening, i’ve done...
i have this chick but i’m unsure of the gender and breed, pictures attached, for 7week old it has the comb and tail but has no wattles so it has confused me what do you think!
There has been this egg I don’t think the chick has been alive for a while in it but I always kept it in just in case
today I opened the incubator and there was this awful smell coming from the egg!
I’ve had bad eggs before but they don’t usually smell this bad
I did the float test and it...
I went to check on my 8 eggs before going into lockdown and they have all died! Because my incubator has malfunctioned and the temperature was around 50°C, has anyone else had this problem????

One of my chicks was sat outside the brooder which is unusual.

So I have a CL roo and CL hens to breed but,
I read somewhere that autosexed golden comets when you breed golden comets together you don’t get a golden comet chick.
Is this true? And does this happen with CL too? Or would I be able to get auto sexed cream legbar chicks?
my naked neck who is now 11 weeks old is perky but her wings are spread from her body she feels light and her crop isn’t full.
When she tries to eat her head goes near but not far enough to get the food. She also has this with drinking
She pooped for me and it was clear with a few pieces of...

My chickens eyes have crusted over and we’ve had 2 of our usual eggs today!!
Some chickens have 2 eyes crusted some only have one and some have none but I need to know what’s wrong.
My dad keeps saying it’s dust but that dosent justify the egg drop so I feel like there’s something more.

I have read a few facts on chicks and there sexing and growing ways I was just wondering if these are true or not!
1) female chicks feather more quickly
2) females have rounded feathers round there necks whilst the males have pointed ones

Pointed = males
4) males...
