Fluffy was born in the 6h of January. Her brother was definitely a boy and he had to leave, but I hope this one is a girl. It is a mix breed, not sure what as I bought fertile eggs. Opinions?
I am new to quails and 3 weeks ago I bought a male. but I wonder if he is doing his job, if you know what I mean...
I have never heard him crowing (I know it does not sounds like a rooster) or trying to mate with any female. Plus he very often crouch in the floor as if he is waiting for someone...
My chicken Chips has been paralized for a couple of weeks now. She eats and drinks but slowly is getting worse, now she cannot stand or even lay on the ground without loose balance and falling on her side.

My favourite chicken Chips is not able to stand or walk, plus one of her wing seems to be paralized. I wonder if hat it could be?

My pullet Chips was a normal chick but as she is growing her beak is twisting and now she is keeping one of her eyes closed or semi-open (the other one is normal). Has anyone had this problem before? Is there anything I can do? She is my favourite little girl.
My 8 months old light Sussex chicken became broody and I bought 7 fertilised eggs. She has being sitting on them for 19 days and on the last 3 days we noticed that every day she cracks an egg. Today we have 4 eggs left and one dead chick besides her. Is it a normal behaviour for a first timer...
I have two Light Sussex, one is 32 weeks old (white one) and the other 20 weeks old. We are in Australia, so we have plenty of warm weather, fresh water and good food. They receive some treats, but not too many.
But so far we have no eggs from these chickens. Is it normal?
Our other chickens...
