    Silkie has curled toe

    Picked up more silkies today 😆 (side note: if you're local to me, TSC still has at least 6 more silkies. I'm guessing on the low end, probably more) This one has 11 toes. But also, on the foot with 5 toes, that one curls under. S/he walks fine for now, but I know it isn't good to stay that way...

    Hatched in a box

    Meet Mufasa. She was hatched inside a diaper box in my garage. I had a broody hen, who set and hatched a clutch. At some point, another hen laid an egg in her nest and I didn't realize it. When broody was done hatching, one egg showed signs of life. But I had no idea how far along it was. I...

    Polish, but not?

    This baby is roughly 6 weeks old, and I still can not identify the breed. She is all black. Clean legs. Bantam. I have 2 other polish same age, but they are bigger and have bigger top knots.

    Salmon Faverolle gender

    I realize technically it is way too early to know the gender of these babies. But, if we were guessing based on wing feathers, would 1 be a cockerel and 2 and 3 pullets? They are approximately 5 days old. I realize that in salmon faverolle the males typically have the black, while females do...

    Silkie pullets? Maybe 1 cockerel?

    Ok, I'm going there. Well, here. I'm asking for helping on my silkies. They are both 13 weeks old. I've never had such a hard time sexing them at this age! But from what I have read, that is normal. So, here are my pair: RooPaul and Roxanne (lol). I'm leaning towards one of each based solely on...

    Processing for 1st time

    We currently have 11 meat birds (cornishX) that we plan to process Sunday afternoon. We have previously done 2 roosters that were aggressive. We did little planning other than withholding feed 24 hours. That was a hot mess to clean out. That said, I have 2 questions. As I said, Sunday is the...

    Fiesty Bantam, unknown breed

    So I posted a couple weeks ago asking for help identifying one of my bantam babies. At that point, there really wasn't much to go on as she was mostly a fluff ball. So now that she is almost 4 weeks old, I'm hoping we can narrow it down. She is a bantam, 4 weeks old. Clean legs. Mostly white...

    Cornish Cross Poop

    Seems odd to post about poop, but I'm unfamiliar and severely lack in my Google search abilities lol. I currently have 11 cornish cross and 2 ducklings in a brooder together. Both are around 1.5 weeks old. I noticed a lot of dark, runny poop in the brooder and at first thought it was from the...

    Ducklings and pine pellets

    So, as anyone has raised ducks know, they are mess. Right now I am housing 8 bantams and 4 Indian runners in a brooder pool. Plenty of space, and lots of cuddling. I clean the pool twice a day because of the water (i have a good setup for that. But you know, ducks ) Can you use pine pellets in...

    Groot has wry neck

    Groot is close to a year old. He is an EE rooster, and is number 2 of my 3 roosters (or was, this has knocked down the totem pole). Groot has been I'll since March 13th. We aren't sure what happened. On that day he was still normal and chasing the ladies, avoiding the alpha rooster. Later that...

    Meet my Penguin

    When I purchase chickens, I'm suckered in by colors. The bantam bin was the worst. No real label, but oh so cute! Meet Penguin! I *think* she is some sort of Japanese Bantam. She certainly has the stance. Wings hang low and tail feathers reaching for Jesus My 13 year old is going to turn her...

    White bantam breeds?

    And now for a 2nd chick from the assorted bantam bin. I realize, that at 2 weeks, it is too early to know for sure which breed of bantam she is. So, instead I'm asking what are the different possibilities. *She stands like any standard chick. *Clean, yellow legs. *Mostly yellow/white. Though...

    Random Bantam, breed help

    Like others, I acquired some bantams from the assorted bin at TSC. I've been able to identify the breeds of most, but 2 are troubling. I will start with asking for help on one, with a developed comb. What I do know: 1. Purchased from TSC in assorted bantam pullet bin on March 15th, making it...

    Electric wire to keep chickens IN

    Is it possible to use hot wire to keep chickens IN an area? Bare with me, I don't know how to talk short... Of my 29 chickens, a fee like to hop the fence. Their yard is about 75x100ft. A few trees scattered plus a "wall" of trees for shade and bugs. We started with a fence of 4ft, but noticed...
