Greeting!
In my many years of poultry breeding, for the first time I am faced with the problem that my silkie rooster currently has.
It all started when all four of his silkie girls became broody. They were horrible, they stole each other's eggs, they lay on top of each other, they broke the...
My silkies live mostly outdoors, that's why they are often dirty and have to be bathed for the show!
I do it very simply, without much complication!
I pour warm water into two buckets, in one I put shampoo for dogs against fleas:D (it has a neutral smell and chases away all the bugs on my...

Does anyone have any suggestion?

I think that they seem...
The pictures show that the chicken is hatched with a normal beak - if you zoom in, you can see better!
But later as little Padovanna grew her upper beak became very hunched over, so much so that her mouth was constantly open
I tried to correct the beak by cutting, but it was so deformed that I...
English is not my language, so I will try to be as understandable as I can.
I made an incubator and I have several problems with hatching eggs.
I tested the first round of eggs at the recommended temperature of 37.8 C and my chickens hatch on 26 day?
On the recommendation of an experienced...
