Hi all,
I have some 6 week old chicks, all bred from a blue salmon cockerel and a variety of hens (gold partridge / blue partridge / splash / lemon Pyle) - does anybody recognise the colours of these chicks?
Thanks 😊
Good evening,
I am UK based and currently own a few silkie bantams. I keep seeing ads for USA silkies and was wondering what the difference actually is between USA silkies and other types of silkie?
Good afternoon all
I have a group of 3 week old Brahma and I have started to notice quite clear differences in the combs of the birds, one is much wider and shaped differently.
Does this mean anything in terms of sex of the chicks or is this just a normal difference you can get in both sexes...
Good evening all
I have a year old Brahma cockerel who is definitely top of the pecking order however I’m not sure he is mating with the hens and therefore producing fertile eggs.
The eggs from these chickens don’t seem to be coming on as well during incubation as eggs from hens with my other...

Hello everyone
I adopted two agouti rabbits from a pet shop around a year ago and was wondering if anybody has any idea about what breed they might be?
My guess is that they may be mixed breeds, the little one maybe a netherland mix? But I’m not sure as I have not had those breeds before
Hello everyone
I have 2 cockerels in my flock who seem to now be at the top of the pecking order (they were both young when we got them and so we’re being hen pecked)
I have seen both cockerels trying to mount the hens but am unsure yet if the eggs are fertile. I have taken some pictures below...
Good evening,
I have 3 3 week old Brahma chicks - I think it is probably too soon to sex them (first time raising chicks) They are all developing at a very similar rate, what sort of things should I be looking out for to tell if they are pullets or cockerels?
There is one blue partridge, one...
Evening all
As you’ll be able to tell, I am very new to incubating/hatching birds. We’ve had hens for just over a year but bought a cockerel for the first time last week
He is a young bird and I don’t think has mated yet with any of the hens.
Does anyone have any foolproof way of checking...

I am interesting in getting a cockerel and have been offered a Blue...
Hello all,
I have a 10 month old silkie who keeps staying in the nest box during the day. It has not laid since Tuesday and is not sat on an egg or anything.
When you go to pick her up, she makes an angry noise but only once and as soon as you let her out she is running around, eating, drinking...
Hello,
Not sure if this is a problem or not - as I am relatively new to keeping hens!
I have a Brahma who is 25 weeks old, and has recently developed a vertical indent down her chest - almost like cleavage. Can anybody confirm if this is normal?
She is perfectly healthy in herself, eating...
