Oh my! My little silkie, Strous, went broody 21 days ago.... We put 3 eggs under her, 1 of hers, black silkie hen x with White silkie roo, and 2 RIR hen x with possibly a EE roo.
We have 1 baby completely out, the RIRxEE. Its a beaut'. the other RIRxEE has made a small hole and i am just...
My broody just hatched 1/3 eggs and the chick keeps falling over the shell. Should I remove it or just let it be?
P.S. First hatch ever. and just this morning I was dreaming that the chicks hatched, and as the last chick was hatching in my dream, my sister screamed at me to "wake up the chicks...
we have one of her eggs and two RIR's eggs under her. Any quick info on what to and what not to do? I'm a complete newbie on chickens, i've only had these for about 6 and a half months.
My RIR, Sahara, has been laying for about 3 weeks and about a week ago she layed a HUGE egg, probably 3, maybe 3 1/2 inches long, usually we're lucky to get 1 1/2 inch long ones!, and when we cracked it open we found two separate egg "compartments" like the clear thin skin usually around the egg...
I've got two roos and two hens, terrible, i know. For the past few months everything has been fine, but about a week ago i noticed that the dominant roo has been picking on the runt hen. He's a huge EE and she's a TINY Silkie. He bites her and plucks her feathers out. I also noticed today that...
I have a white EE rooster for sale. The one in the middle.
He was bought at a feed store and raised by hand from 1 week old by me. He was sick as a little one but their is no sign of that anymore. He is pretty aggressive. That is one of the reasons he is for sale, also we have two roosters so...
I have both a white and a black silkie and I have noticed that the black silkies skin is just black, while the white ones' skin is blue. The white ones beak is also a blueish color with a green band. Any thoughts on this?
I'm really interested in 4H but i'm still confused on what to do to get entered in. Can anyone help me out?
Oh and i'm not sure if I posted in the right place...

My babies
Oh how I love to take pictures of them! I can't get enough of them!
Does anyone think Orion is a roo? I do. And i'm pretty sure Sahara is a pullet.
Any thoughts?
The only good one of Sahara, the RIR.

I got this chick from the feed store and she was labeled as an Amerucana, but she was the only one with this dark marking on her head, any ideas? Oh and am I spelling Amerucana right? I have a feeling i'm not...
I have a two week old Silkie and his/her head keeps twitching or shaking side to side... I have only noticed it when she/he is a little cold. Any ideas as to what it might be?
I was on my way to get 1 new silkie at the Monroe f.c. and I get a call from my sister saying my two babies had been attacked by our dog.... It was such a sad car ride there... BUT as soon as I saw all the fuzzy butts I got really happy and my dad let me get 4 new babies!! I paid him back so now...
Can I wash my 1 1/2 to 2 week old chicks? I just got some today (after my dog killed the last two ....) and they are covered in poo from the feed store. The one I am really wanting to wash is a Rhode Island Red.
