Hi! This is my first time with mosaic chicks, they're almost 3 weeks old. Two already has shoulder and tail feathers, one is still mostly fluffy down except the wings. I wondered if it means the fluffy one is a cockerel or if it's not a reliable way for sexing?

Hi! Since my current hatch seems to struggle a bit and that I may have to assist more than usual, what can I use to keep membrane from drying? I often see coconut oil, neosporin and vaseline being recommended, but I sadly don't have any of those and I live in the middle of nowhere without a car...

Hi! I have a chick that externally pipped since half a day, but a the middle top of its egg and no progress since then. I never had a chick pipping at that place. Should I let him do it himself or I should assist? Thank you!

Hi! I have a hen that always has droopy tail. At first, I thought she was sick, but it's been 2 months already and she's acting normal. I did notice she was pecked (or she pecked herself?) the base of her tail to blood a month ago, but nothing concerning and it healed well by its own. I decided...

Hi! I'm currently incubating 12 eggs, some white eggs (from mosaic chickens), some blue eggs (wheaten ameraucana) and some brown eggs (red hen with legbar roo). The air pockets on the white and blue eggs are growing about the same. On the brown eggs... they're suuuuuper tiny. Is it normal to...

Hi! I'm trying to understand what's going on with one of my hen, I'll do summary over 5 days in case it can be helpful: Day 1: She was slightly weaker and wobbly, nothing concerning. Day 2: I decided to give her dewormer and deworm the whole flock, just in case. About 2 hours after deworming...

Hi! I have a 36 hours old silver ameraucana chick that limp since his birth. I noticed that despite being able to stand static normally, when he walks, his left wrist is positioned as if he was walking on high heel. He walks, runs, feed, scratch normally. What could it be? Is there anything I...

Hi! I got 4 adorable ameraucana chicks, it's my first time with that color and I've been told it is possible to sex them early as their color is distinctive. Is that true? If so, is it possible I've been unlucky and got only 1 pullet and 3 cockerels? Thank you!

Hi! I have a lovely and super social Easter Eggers (unknown mix) that I assumed to be a lighter shade of blue... Until I got a lavender pullet and realized she kinda looks similar color-wise. I wondered, is she actually light blue or lavender? I included pics of her growing up, current pic and...

Hi! I got 2 questions, I hope someone can help me out. I'm mostly familiar with Ameraucana so I'm a bit lost about two mixed ones I got. 1rst one: Sold to me as an Easter Egger. She started laying at exactly 6 months old and beautiful olive eggs. Does it means she would be considered an Olive...

Hi! This pullet was sold to me as "cream Easter Egger", thought I wondered if someone had any idea what breed could be in her mix (for the fun, I know it's quite impossible to be sure). Also, what her color is called? I can't figure out. Included pictures at different stages of growth, last...

Hi! I have a 1 month old Easter Egger than I'm wondering already if it may be a cockerel? Especially the "baby wattles", it's my first time that I have a chick growing them at that young age. Also, I know for sure the hen (mother) is Ameraucana, but no idea for the father (just that it's a...

Hi! I have a 8' x 8' coop, in which I put a 2' x 8' division for younger chicks. I have four chicks that are 9 weeks old in the large area of the coop, and six chicks that are 5 weeks old in the small area. The younger chicks were moved from the brooder to that division since a week, so it's...

Hi! I'm new to breeding chickens and my chicks aren't yet to that age, I got Blue Ameraucana and Silver Ameraucana. I've been told Blue breed true about 50% and Silver 100%. Is it true? In general, what potential outcome would be if I breed: Blue x Blue Silver x Blue Silver x Silver I'd like...

Hi! Been a while I had chicks and this is my first time by my own (not with my grandparents), and having to sex them myselves. I believe the two isbar are roos and the two ameraucana are pullets, but being very new to that, I would like to get your opinion. Thank you for your time!
