    Look like roosters, act like hens

    I’m very confused about some mixed chickens I have. I have 4. 2 I know for sure are roosters, but 2 look just like roosters but act and are treated like hens. They’re are still too young to lay eggs so I’m not positive. But with the two that look/act like hens, my other roosters want to mate...

    Sick rooster?

    I believe my rooster is sick. He’s standing completely still with his tail down. Not making a sound. He was completely fine yesterday, his comb isn’t pale, I don’t understand what could be wrong with him. He keeps moving his mouth, and made an almost inaudible noise. (Sounds similar to the noise...

    Egg has been piped for 12 hrs now-no progress.

    Last night around 11 I had one egg pip. I was checking every couple hrs so not sure exactly when, but it was 11 when I seen it. There has been no progress since.

    Best feed/probiotics for chicks

    I have some eggs that will hopefully be hatching any day now. Ive read that putting a probiotic in their water is really good for them, but don’t know what kind to get. Also what would be the best food to get? I’ve posted this in a Facebook group I’m in but they’re not answering my question...

    So I got a heat lamp, 125w. A plastic tub, bowls of water and hay. I’ve been trying for hours to get the right temp/humidity. I know they say it’s either impossible or very hard to use a heat lamp to make an incubator, because of the heat. But here’s the thing. My humidity is perfect. But my...
