    Wyandottes... help please?

    Hi, I have these Wyandottes that I hatched approximately 4-5 months ago. I’m second guessing myself and would appreciate some assistance please. I think this is a cockerel, yes?

    Help with my d’Uccles please?

    Yet another pullet or cockerel thread! These are 5 and a half weeks old, I thought I’d be able to tell clearly by now but I’m a bit stuck! I’m pretty sure the lavender is a pullet (pic 1), the blue a pullet (pic 2) but the black (pic 3) and black (pic 4) are not obvious to me. In comparison to...

    Elongated Eggs...?

    Hi BYC! I purchased a dozen Sussex eggs from a local breeder the other day. They were packaged up when I collected them, so I didn’t inspect them until I got home. Half of the eggs are extremely elongated like torpedo shapes. These weren’t cheap eggs, and the seller apparently has a good...

    Any guesses? 😂

    These guys are 3 weeks old. They are Faverolles cross Buff Sussex, RIR, New Hampshire or Barnevelder. I think the dark ones are Barnevelder? Any guesses as to genders? I haven’t a clue at this stage. Sorry for the crappy photos, they’re impossible. There are 5 in total.

    Dead Guinea Fowl

    Yesterday I noticed one of my Guinea hens acting a bit off. She wouldn’t let me get very close (they never do) but wasn’t herself, hadn’t laid for a few days and was keeping away from the others. This morning she was dead. On inspection I couldn’t see anything obviously wrong with her, she...

    First Time Incubating - Stressed!

    Hi everyone! I am a complete newbie with incubating and am on day 9. Stressing like crazy! I set 50 eggs. These came from my own flock. I collected them over a period of about 5 days and daily turned the eggs that were waiting. Some of the eggs weren’t fertile and some started developing but...
