I have a chicken that is acting like a rooster and I had thought that it was a hen. But she is doing the rooster attack dance at her hatch mate who is a serama rooster. She has a very small comb at this stage. She is probably 4mos maybe closer to 5mos.
She is a silkie/ EE mix
Hi I am wanting to buy B/B/S silkie hatching eggs but I do not have paypal. I am willing to send money order checks. I do know that they take a little bit longer to process.
I went to check on the broody and noticed the chick I thought would hatch was gone. I've had newly hatched chicks go missing before so I did a quick look around and didn't see it. Well I went back in and checked again and noticed the chick laying on its side with a wound to its head and was...
I was wondering if any one hatched anything out of an egg with a complete broken air cell? The reason I ask is that I have one. It has a totally broken air cell and there is something moving in there.

Number 2
I thought Number 1 was the male because of how thick the legs were.
Here are the legs for number 1

These are a month old and fighting. I don't know what to do as I am pretty new to the whole chicken raising.
Here are some after the fight pictures...

These are Cuckoo Marans.
Should I wait to put the mite stuff on my chickens till after my broody hatches her eggs? I don't see any but my easter eggers are molting again. And one is getting peeked a little. I am also thinking of deworming them as I am only getting one maybe 2 eggs a day.
I have an egg that is peeping but has not piped yet. its been 27 hours. Should I continue to wait?
I have to go to work but when I get back and it hasn't piped should I help?
yesturday evening my broody silkie decided she was done sitting on eggs. I now have 8 eggs all with wiggling chicks and no incubator.. I put them in a cooler with and a 60 watt light and some water in a small dish. is there anything else I should do?
The Barred rock she is sitting on did not hatch her out. But on occasion I have found her under this barred rocks wing instead of the silkie that hatch her.
Is it normal for another hen to start taking care of another hen's chick?
I have a silkie that hatched out one chick. She has been very good about taking care of it. A couple of nights ago I noticed that one of the barred rocks was sleeping outside with her. ( I always put both mom and...
I feed my chicken the chicken feed you can get at the coop. Purina layer pellets.
I have someone who is interested in buying eggs but she doesn't want soy in her diet. If a chicken eats soy will it make it so your eating soy if you eat their eggs?
Just thought I would start the quessing game on these 2. They are my oldest. I know my barred rock is a pullet as she is feathering in quite dark.
I know these are kinda young so I will be updating pictures.

Just for fun
