    Sick 2 week old chick. Any way to save?

    I bought a group of chicks about 2 weeks ago, there's one particular that has been looking off since I got them. Today I went to go change out their water and food, and saw that one laying down looking pretty bad. I've kind of suspected from the beginning that he might need to be culled since he...

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Hi! So I recently bought some chicks from a person local to me. I've had them for a couple days now, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of a bad smell they have. I've had plenty of chickens and chicks these last few years, and I've never had them smell like this before. It's like a...

    Trouble figuring out which is which

    So the hatch I was supposed to have this week was a failure, and none of the eggs made it. I had the brooder ready and was really excited for chicks, so I bought some to make myself feel better. People I bought them from told me they were supposed to be brahmas, ameraucana, naked necks, and...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.) Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18. It is...

    How to check turning function on unidentified incubator?

    Just bought this incubator yesterday from an older gentleman on Craigslist for 20 bucks (he decided to become a vegan and no longer needed it.) We just got rid of my rooster, so I'm hoping to hatch some eggs before they stop being fertile. Everything seems to be working fine except I can't...

    Just wanted to share this interesting colored chick

    A pretty colored chick I have. She's an Easter Egger silkie mix, her name is Hops. She actually might be a pullet now I'm not quite sure, she's mixed with a bantam so I don't know what size she's supposed to be. Anyways, Don't know if there's a name for this coloring, kinda reminds me of a mille...

    Hawk removal in Nevada?

    One of my three chicks were taken by a hawk yesterday. From what I read, it's illegal to kill the hawk (and it's nature, so I wouldn't feel right killing it either way, it's just trying to survive.) Is there anything I can do to prevent this kinda thing? We've never had an issue with predators...

    Three of my eggs hatched successfully!!!

    I'm so excited to say that 3 of my 5 fertilized eggs hatched! They actually hatched last week on Friday/Saturday, they weren't 18 days like I thought in my previous post because turns out I was looking at a duck candling guide ha, silly mistake! They all developed properly up until hatch day...

    Is humidity a worry when using a broody?

    Hi, there! One of my hens went broody, it's her first time, and we decided to give her some fertile eggs to hatch. The eggs are do late next week to early the week after. We've never used a broody, and I've never successfully hatched on my own to begin with. So my question is do I have to worry...

    Golden Comet female feathering in white?

    Hi, so I got some chicks on the first week of May when they were 1 week. I got 2 cinnamon queens and 2 golden comets, all of them appeared to be female (I had doubts about one of the golden comets but that one is definitely female as she's feathering in brown.) They're a little over a month now...

    Male or Female Golden Comet Chick?

    Hi! Sorry if I posted wrong, new to actually using this site, but have browsed it for info before. I originally attempted to hatch some chickens but they died after I put them in lockdown. Luckily I was able to buy some from my boss and got four 1 week old chicks. Two cinnamon Queens two...
