Back in April, I got 7 salmon faverolles. 2 days ago, I went outside to check on them, feed and water them. I noticed one of them laying down, which in general is normal, but her neck was fluffed up. She was so weak she could barely stand and wouldn’t eat anything. She would drink. All she...

I set up my incubator tonight to get it ready to set eggs tomorrow morning. Well, it was running since around 8:30 pm and just now shut completely off at 11:25 pm. What happened? It’s completely off and not responding to any buttons, not even the candler. Everything is plugged in tight too I’ve...

I’ve got 4 broad breasted white turkey poults. Checked them last night and one out of the four was laying in the corner of the coop, all puffed up. Got it to stand up and it shuffled around with its neck tucked in which is weird cuz they don’t walk like that. I knew something was up but didn’t...

Hey all! This is Winnie (Winston) and she’s a mixed Orpington. Both parents were some kind of Orpington. 7 weeks old.

Here is Marty, my Lavender English Orpington. “He” is 14 weeks old today. “His” dad showed very strong pullet traits until this age and was wondering if it could be the same case with Marty.

Pip the magnificent was hatched the very beginning of May along with his sister Chip from a science classroom in my hometown. As of now, he is around 6 weeks old. I have no idea who his mom is of my hens, but his dad was a Speckled Sussex rooster I was borrowing from a friend. Right off the bat...

This first one is Pilgrim. She has always looked like a girl.

I don't have pictures and will get them asap, but I noticed that some of my hens might have started to develop bumblefoot. In the middle pad of their feet are like round calluses. I soaked one of them, but not long enough to get it off I didn't have a lot of time to do so tonight. The material...

So, ever since this little guy was just a few days old, his comb was bright red in one spot. Now, at over three weeks old, I think it's safe to say it's a boy.

Hi. I was wondering how successful some of you are that sell mixed breed chicks. I thought about doing this to make some extra cash, as I'm only a teenager. To those of you who sell mixed breeds, how well do they sell? What types of advertising do you use? Do you ship, local pickup, or both...

I let my little chicks out today and came back and on a stone was a bloody stool. It could have been a wild bird's but seeing how my obvious chick's poo was next to it, I'm not too sure.

I hatched out a chick a day before Easter. He is 4 weeks old currently and will be 5 weeks on Saturday. He seems to be fine health wise, but he is barely bigger than a day old chick. He isn't lethargic, he is eating and drinking fine. He has a lot of energy, he is just tiny. Maybe it's because...

Would a grey laced around white feather be genetically possible depending on the breeds used?

Got some chicks for my single hatchling. Lady at the store said they were "easter eggers" but I am thinking otherwise as they are all the same color (not uncommon but unusual for a store) and they also had no cheek puffs (not too unusual) but nonetheless, I wanted to check with other people. I...
