I saw this picture on Reddit this morning and am dying to know what breed she is. The owner got her second hand from someone (at a garage sale!!) And doesn't know what she is either. Any help is appreciated!
Hey all!
I did some searching before posting, to see if I could find the answer to my issue, but I didn't come across anything that was quite right, or maybe I wasn't asking the right question?
Anyway, I have a bunch of little birds (D'uccle/Serama mix). They have all decided that their...
Ok folks. I've hatched a bunch of eggs over the last couple years and I've never seen this before. I set these eggs on 4/7 so they have about 5 days to go. These are eggs I've collected from my flock, many of which are first time layers, but I did let the first couple dozen go to the fridge...
Hello again all!
Here is my issue. I have 5 serama eggs hatching today. The first hatched at about 6am this morning, the other 3 have hatched throughout the day, with the most recent one hatching out about a half hour ago (715pm). There is one more to go.
I can definitely hear a lot of...
Hello all! I'm looking for some thoughts, as there is something going on in the air cell of this serama chick and I'm not quite sure what it is??
Take a look at the pic. As you can see, today is hatch day so the air cell is a bit crazy looking, as usual. However, there is a shadowy gray spot...
Hello all,
we got the mystery Bantam hen as an egg, from a friend of our who has a random hodgepodge of birds. He doesn't even know what he has! We hatched 3, two were white roosters and then there was this little black hen we named Pepper. She is mostly black, white a little white lacing...
Hello all,
A couple weeks ago, I posted about one of my Ayam Cemani's suddenly losing balance and the ability to walk on her own. I started B and E vitamins and she has been making some progress. Albeit, slow progress, but she is certainly better than she was.
My first question is, how long...
Hello all. I have several Ayam Cemani youngsters, about 4.5-5 months old. I had one that came down with wry neck when it was just a few weeks old, I treated it with nutridrench and after a few days, was totally fine. I read that this can be caused by nutritional deficiencies in the hen that...
I have recently discovered a bit of a rat problem in my coop/run and am working on getting it taken care of. I have a few things in the works, but if I have more issues, I'll be back for suggestions.
What I'm here for is to inquire about a real head-scratcher that happened today.
I have a...
Hi all!
I have had a couple situations where a baby is not doing great but the incubator is currently housing siblings or other eggs so its not the best environment for a sick baby. I have been thinking it would be a good idea to have an ICU incubator on hand for future emergencies.
I've...
I have several 2 week old Ayem Cemani chicks. My daughter just brought one in from the brooder and its head is turned downward like its neck is twisted. Any idea why? How do i fix it? Is it fixable? Help! **Btw, the spot on its head is just dirty, not an injury I cleaned it since that pic was...
Hello all! The deed has already been done, as I didn't have a minute to spare looking up info before I did it. Basically, I'm looking to find out if I did the right thing and if I'm on the right track!
I hatched 9 Ayam Cemani eggs yesterday (certainly not my fist hatch, but my first emergency...
Hello all! I have hatched about 25-30 chicks in the last couple months (mainly Silkies and Serama's), but this is my first time incubating and hatching Ayem Cemani's! Here is my concern; the first bird that hatched this morning has a red bunch on it's belly where the umbilical cord attaches...
Hello all!
I'm still relatively new to chickens, a little over a year now. What started as a desire to have our own eggs, has turned into an obsession with hatching and raising various breeds, and i love them all so much! So far I have learned so much that I've become somewhat of a "guru" to...
