My 2 month old silkie has vomited a clear liquid from its mouth. From a quick google search, I am now aware this can be sour crop. The silkie acts normal but has vomited 3 or 2 times since the past 3 weeks and sometimes bobs it back and forth with its mouth open, based on the reaction, trying to...
I have a blue or black giant jersey and would like to see if you guys can guess her gender. She/He is around 5 weeks. It was supposed to blue but could have been a mix up not sure. @MysteryChicken
I don't know what on earth is the age progression of a blue giant jersey and am concerned that mine is a black giant jersey just with poor quality as it has a couple of white feathers on the wings. Will it molt later on and take on its beautiful colors? I will post pictures soon.
I need some of your help all of you cockatiel experts on how to hand raise a baby cockatiel. So the story to why I need help is that my neighbor is going to give me some eggs to incubate so I need all the knowledge till I get them. I will also use this thread as help if I need some and updates...
So my hen decided to go broody when the temperature outside are 112 every day. So I really didn't want her to be on those eggs for 3 whole weeks. This was my 1st broody so I was kind of new to this and wasn't sure if I can shorten the process by giving her eggs that would hatch in the next week...
I just noticed today that one of the silkies chick that hatched and is now 3ish weeks, has the bottom beak cricked. How can I fix it? I tried adjusting it back to normal to see if it would snap back in place, but didn't. Is this a serious thing? Thanks for any replies.
Right now I am looking into a breed of geese. I'm specifically looking for a colorful breed with black skin and large in size. Also opinions in your favorite breed.
Ok, so I have silkies that had chickens. I was wondering if I could tell if they were male or females by genetics because the father is a non vaulted silkie and the mother is vaulted. So does that mean if a chick comes out vaulted, it is a female and if a chick comes out a non vaulted it is a...
Hello, I have to give my best bet on which of my 5 silkie chicks is a girl and a boy by this week or month the latest. I know I can't be 100% sure. But I would like to see baby pics of your baby silkies at ages 1-4 weeks old if you have any, so I can give my best guess. I would also like, if you...
So I have a whole bunch of silkies due to hatch and 3 that already hatched. I'm having a really hard time selling them. Anyone have ideas on how to get rid of them or wants them?
this baby silkie hatched 2 days ago looks healthy, breathing, doesn't want to open it's eyes (had it open the previous days), other chick seems to be scared, stands up but goes back to sleep, hardly chirping. I'm wondering why it's walking when I try to wake it up, but doesn't open it's eyes and...
So all of my chicks were pipping accept one. So I tried to make an assist hole but it went bigger than expected and blood came out of the crack and the chick chirped what do I do?
So this question is for my aunt. So she has a love bird that is laying eggs and sitting on them. She and her mate do take turns. But they have been on those eggs for 3 months. So they had me candle them and none of them had any visible embryos! They're were 20ish eggs. Cracked open some of the...
So I've been wondering what are the quality names for a chicken. I know there is standard and someone else told me a term too. So are there any other names? How would it be used? For example, somebody told me my silkies were terms so would that be called a silkie bantam term?
I'm thinking of getting a baby duck this year but wanted to know what is needed for one and if it needs other ducks or can just get along with chickens. Here are some of my questions. Does a duck need a little pond? Does duck poo stink? Can It live in a chicken coop or does it need a separate place?
This girl came from a local feed store and the guy did not know what breed his chick were and just said they were red. Anyway, we got a lot of cool chicken breeds from them. One we don't know what it is. I've always just said welsummer but I just want to confirm.
So I have a 3 day old silkie and is kind of a week chick. I needed to help rip the membrane of the chick to help it hatch, which was advice. Anyway, it looked like it had very mild wry neck at first. But I noticed today that one eye has never opened. Also, It became a very needy chick today. I...
So I have a day 1 chick and I have to sell this one because I have no more space for chickens until I build my other chicken coop. Anyway, I also have a couple of eggs also silkie bantams. Anyone wants them? You'll also have to be in these cities Delano, Bakersfield, Wasco, Mc farland and...
My first egg ever just hatched. It is a silkie bantam but I've never seen a baby chick stand like this one or sit I guess. It was standing in the incubator but now it just sits like a dog. Quite active, it is also 2 hours old.
