    Rooster just died

    My first rooster just died this morning. He was two years old and for the past month or so he hasn’t been able to crow. I thought it was odd but he seemed to be healthy. When went to feed him this morning he ate some and then staggered around. He tried with his whole body to crow but and then...

    My March Rooster is looking grown up.

    I need to get better pictures but I’m really pleased how my Orpingtons came out. I ended up out of my 6 with 3boys and 3 girls. I kept 3girls and a boy . Here is the boy . The cage in the background is a growout pen for my silkie crosses.

    Can this be fixed? New baby

    I checked on momma hen sitting on her eggs and one of her eggs were half hatched. The baby was shrinked wrapped and so I helped it out, then stuck it in the incubator in a bowl because it’s insides were almost closed but not all the way. Checking on it later showed that he still has a...

    Is this Orp cockerel or pullet?

    We are going on 8 weeks now. I’m pretty sure with all my others which who is what but this one has me stumped. It’s the smallest of all my orpingtons . It has a comb and it’s red but it’s not as big as my other boys . All my Orpingtons have pink in their combs even the girls but their combs are...

    Cockerel?

    This one is getting a red comb but it’s much smaller than the other two boys. Is it still a boy? Bantam Orpington 7 weeks. The smaller one below (on the right) is the one I’m not sure about . My favorite is still looking like a pullet I think. (Below) This one below has red like a...

    Is this a frizzle?

    I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s feathers are still growing out that they kind of stick up or is it a frizzle? Almost all the bantam Orpingtons are growing like this (I have 6) . They are almost 6 weeks. The second picture the wind was blowing a little so the feathers were sticking up...

    My March hatch

I posted a few earlier this week but not all of them and these pictures have better lighting so feel free to guess . These are bantam Orpingtons and one silkie. I think orp 1, 2 and maybe 4...

Feel free to guess . I’m guessing 1,2, and 4 are males. Orp1 is the slowest growing feathers and maybe has the frayed...

    When can you tell gender with Orpingtons?

    My 6 Orpington bantams will be 4weeks this weekend and was wondering when can you tell pullets from cockrels? Seems like the pictures that I have seen both get red combs early on? What about waddles? I think I have two that I can start seeing the development of pink waddles and slightly pink...

    Any idea why Scraggles is so ..?

    Scraggly? This one didn’t feather out like the rest . I’m going to up their protein but why is this little ones feathers looking so bad? I thought the delayed feather growth (it’s almost caught up with the others) was because this one is a boy but it wasn’t just delayed .. it looks like...

    Is this egg normal?

    This egg has been in the incubator for 2 days. The red arrow is pointing to the growth and the blue is pointing to something else. Is that just the yolk? I don’t remember my others looking like that.

    Are the boys always slow developers?

    I have one that is way behind on feather growth (the one in the back) . It wasn’t the last born and it didn’t have a difficult hatch. Does feather growth indicate if they are male/female? They are bantam Orpingtons born March30/31.

    Trying to save a baby chick.

    I had to assist a chick out of the shell yesterday. It was positioned wrong with a foot up around and behind its neck. It really should have stayed in its shell longer to absorb the veins but it didn’t pip (couldn’t) and it was cheeping. So I opened it up? It was facing the wrong direction...

    Can you tell if this is a blue or splash silkie chick?

    Dad is a blue and mom is a splash . I’m leaning towards blue but it’s a lot lighter than the last silkie blue chick I had.

    One is different than the rest.

    Well my silkie is different (it’s being a pest so it’s getting time out in the container.. it hardly quits poking at the others) but that’s not what I’m posting about. Yup the one in the corner prefers to sleep standing up. I also don’t think it’s a bantam that it’s supposed to be ...such...

    When you see veins but no embryos..

    I stopped seeing embryo on this first one for the last two days. It should be 7 days. It’s a brown egg but I had no problem seeing it when it was on day two and it’s supposed to be easier to see on day 7. Still alive though in there? This second one I also couldn’t see the embryo. This...
