    Hey everyone, I have a question about this newly hatched chick. This is the 4th chick I've hatched, the 3 that hatched before all appeared normal but this one looks like the abdominal area didnt close up properly. I also noticed it had what looked like a small bit of yolk still attached but...

    18 week old silkies

    I am really hoping I am wrong and would love some opinions. My latest group of silkies, 5 in total, appear to be 4 boys and 1 girl. The 3 buff (boys?) appear to have streamers and a reddish color on the face but not a lot of development as far as comb and wattles. The white (boy?) has very...

    Shipping possible after several weeks of age?

    I thought this would be a good place to ask as it has to do with re-homing a rooster. I didn't see any other forums that seemed appropriate for this kind of question. I only have room for 2 but got a surprise 3rd and I need to find a home for 1. I do have a friend who lives several states...

    16 week old Polish

    Blue Favaucana

    Does anyone here have much experience when it comes to sexing blue favaucanas? I have a 4 week old and when I google the breed I don't get much useful info. I get a lot of easter egger or araucana instead. The favaucana info that does show up the chicks look nothing like mine or they are...

    Adding chicks to a broody hen

    I have seen a few old threads about this already, but have a question about how soon it can actually be done. I wasn't planning on doing this but about 3 days ago my one and only laying hen, a 25 week old buff orpington, went broody. I do have 1 black sex link rooster also 25 weeks. I have...

    Barred Rock / Columbian Wyandotte

    They might be a bit too young still, but of these three 2 have me thinking cockerel and I really hope I'm wrong as I will have to re-home them if they are. If it makes a difference I got them from MPC. They are all 3 weeks 2 days. The first one in question is my one and only Barred Rock. S/he...
