    Newly hatched chick curled toes cannot stand

    I’ve never had a chick hatch that couldn’t walk. This little one is almost 24 hours old and can’t stand or walk properly. I’m attaching a couple photos and a video to show you what I mean.

    Gender guess?

    Hey guys! This is my 8 week old leghorn/EE cross. It looks so much like it’s leghorn momma, but is a lot more red in the comb so I’m thinking maybe a cockerel?

    EE Rooster & Bantam Cochin Hen

    What would happen with this cross? The EE Rooster has been with our bantam cochins for a while and we have been getting fertilized eggs. Can I hatch them? Just curious what the cross may be or how it would work with the small eggs.

    We had to move some eggs to an incubator because our broody was sitting on eggs at different stages of development. Our broody hatched 3 eggs and we were afraid the eggs that are only a couple weeks into growth would get cracked or she would stop sitting on them. We’ve never incubating eggs or...

    Standard rooster with bantam hens?

    We have been keeping our bantams seperated from our standard hens and Roos for the last year. However, space is an issue and there would be a lot more room if we combine them. They all get along as we have accidentally mixed them numerous times over the past year. However, I worry about the...
