    Second Opinions - Is it time to give up on this egg?

    Hi all, Were hatching eggs for the 3rd time down in Melbourne, Aus. We set 14 in our Brinsea, eliminated 2 during candling - one infertile and one quitter. The first chick hatched at noon on day 20. 5 hours later we finally had more, then more overnight. They all hatched over the next 24 hours...

    I thought this is a pullet?

    Can you please confirm... This is a Marans cross at just past 12 weeks of age. Recently started reddening in the face, no waddles yet that I see.. Slightly long saddle feathers. A few pointy hackles. *With a bit of research, I sorted my other issue I think. 😂 Feeling more certain again Rogue...

    8ek Pullet, not sure - sour crop?

    Hi guys, Melbourne AUS here. I noticed yesterday that my most precious lady from my New Year hatch just didn't seem quite herself. Her posture just isn't the same... She seems flat and is puffing her feathers and lowering her wings. Everyone had Barrastoc medicated starter until about 4-5 days...

    Gender Check, 3 Suspects

    Looking for second opinion on the sex of these six week old Easter Eggers. 1 - Looks kinda like a copper Maran, I think boy. Terrible temperament, attacks others and starts fights. Shame, 'cause he has six cute toes and was my absolute fave at hatch. 2 - All black, smooth legs. This one got me...

    5 week old chick with tremors

    Hi everyone, Melbourne Australia here. I asked on a Chook health FB forum I am a part of about this girl on January 28th when this started, and was told to give her vitamins and special diet. I do not think this is Marek's and I wondered about Avian encephalomyelitis, but as no other chicks are...

    Help me, help my uncommitted broody...

    Hi, I'm down I Melbourne, Australia in the middle of summer. I'm currently raising chicks from eggs I hatched to build my flock, but we have 2 Australorps from last August that we got as POL pullets, one black, Jean and one blue, Storm. (Here's them being normal chookies yesterday in photo.)...

    Opinions on CLB cockeral

    This is six week old Geralt. (At time of photo.) He hatched with poor autosexing. Good female eyeliner, no yellow spot on head but very questionable chipmunk pattern from Australian lines. He's obviously continuing his poor look, no? All CLB cockerals I've seen have much more distinguished...

    Fox safe wire choices

    Hi all, We live in a semi rural area in Melbourne Australia. Introduced foxes can be a problem here. The house we bought this year has a large pre-built and enclosed garden space and chicken coop/run. (Previous owner made it.)The entire property is rabbit proof fences on the boundaries. The...

    Ambiguous CCL Chick!

    Out of six CCL eggs, 3 hatched. The obvious girl passed after hatch and one was an obvious boy. Then there's this chick... Light markings, no real head spot, decent eyeliner... I cant decide that it's definitely a boy. Photos at day 4. Thoughts? Thanks!
