    Burying Food for Later

    About a week and a half ago I had 8 mix breed chicks hatch in an incubator. They’re feathering really quickly and are already trying to jump out of the brooder. They have a quart feeder from TSC that I used on my first batch of six chicks a year ago. But I have to fill it up almost daily. Or so...

    Mix Babies, What is Going On?

    I recently hatched 8 chicks in an incubator and since I don’t know much or really anything about genetics, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. What should I be expecting with these crosses such as sex links, general coloring etc? The roosters are one of the following two, Buddy-SS...

    Hatching Failure. What to do Next?

    I currently have 15 RIR eggs under a broody on about day 8. I just candled them with our new Brinsea high powered candler only to find that not a single one had veins or any other definite sign of growth :hit. My guess is that they were unfertilized due to my rooster not feeling his best. The...

    Okay so it’s not actually any kind of dragon egg, but it still looks like one, scales and all! This is an egg that one of my Cayuga girlies laid earlier today.

    Worming a Rooster Conundrum

    I had created a thread about my rooster not feeling well a while ago. After him improving slightly, but never having the vet call us back and my rooster being very skinny, we have decided to worm him. It is unconfirmed if he has worms or not because they are not visible in his poop but something...

    Pale Faced Yellow Pooping Lethargic Rooster

    My one-year-old really sweet RIR rooster is sick. Yesterday morning my mother noticed him moving slowly and sitting with his feathers a little puffed up, I thought it was just because of the random cold snap (my roosters a big baby he always has been) by the evening he was acting fine. Cut to...

    HELP! Rooster has been attacked

    I honestly have no idea what happened but when I came out to get eggs I noticed my rooster's head was bleeding, a lot. His comb is torn and there's a lot of dried blood as well. I haven't had chickens for very long so we don't have anything to help him right now. I'll post pictures shortly. What...

    Hatchery Salmom Faverolles

    I have been thinking about getting some Salmon Faverolles recently and I've read a few threads about them. Some people say that some of the hatchery birds don't have the five toes, beards, and muffs. Does anybody know if the chicks sold from Meyer Hatchery stay true to their breed or not? It's...

    Lethargic Young Hen

    I recently noticed one of my hens who is 21 weeks old start acting very lethargic and she had her back slightly raised. She wasnt eating or drinking. My friend said she might have eaten something moldy and to give her vitamin B and plain yogurt. Since I'm so new to this, I decided to bring her...

    Rooster Behavior

    We came home one day with six chicks in a box. Three were supposedly female BOs and the other three were supposedly female RIRs. Time went by and we figured out we had six RIRs. After a couple of weeks, we found out one isn't even female! His name is Peep and he is 17 weeks old now. He doesn't...

His name is Peep and he is currently 17 weeks old. He doesn't have spurs, he doesn't crow, and he isn't trying to mate...

    Bonding With Ducks

    Hello! I'm rather new to both BYC and owning birds. I have six chickens, a goose, and three Cayuga ducklings. I love all my birds and most of them like me back. I have one problem though. My wonderful Cayugas seemed to have really bonded with my goose and act like I'm going to kill them except...
