These are the best pics I have right now.
Dad is arcana mix with unknown breed
moms are frizzled easter Eggers
(Except the white one. mom is nova gen)
They hatched end of september.
We are told arcauna but gold laced i have yet to stumble upon a picture of any similar birds. He's young will he grow bigger and development feathering or is this what hes gonna look like forever? I believe hes less than six months old.
We were told he is arcauna but has a weird genetic disorder of having a tail. He's golden laced. I tried to find anything that looked like him and I didnt see anything. If anyone has a rooster similar can you tell me the breed and post a picture of it for me? I want all the facts on this guy and...
My easter egger has never hatched babies before. We let her hatch a baby silkie. We'll she's different from a silkie hen we have let hatch a few times. I can't gage if she is doing good enough I guess? Obviously its alive still and has made it a couple of weeks so its getting what it needs...
Ive got a hen sitting on an egg thats internally pipped as of now however I do not have this hen and soon to come baby in a brooder because ours is occupied by another hen and baby chick. What do I do?? I have a playpen i could set up in the run I could put them in maybe? Or perhaps the over a...
I took another broody hens egg because she had to far apart hatch date for her babies. So I gave the egg to our other broody hen to let her hatch who is sitting on another egg that is marked since she collects everyday from everyone else. The egg unmarked is probably 17 days along and well I...
A broody hen decided to go broody once again and well.. we were not paying attention as to when she sat on these eggs. We can tell these two eggs are way apart (luckily we have a back up broody hen just incase they are too far apart) so what are we thinking? how many days along are they...
My girl tiana is just over a year now and she's bald on the top of the head? Still lays eggs and is definitely grumpy. Still eats and drinks and acts normal. I do have three roosters however two are still very young so not sure if they are going after her or if they would specifically take out...
These four babies are now almost 5 weeks. Nova gen/RIR I think I have an idea on genders but I need people who know better than me to confirm if I'm right
Hi we just hatched four chicks one of them looks rhode island red the other two look nova gen (mom is nova gen dad is either RIR or nova gen) but one of these guys is different than the others so can someone tell me if he is still a nova gen or RIR or if he maybe has a different parent and we...
Are nova gen chickens sex linked? I just hatched four (only two in pictures) anyway nova gen is mom and RIR OR nova gen for dad. So are these two Male or female? Or does it not work that way? If it was based on sex link I assume both females because they aren't light colored but I don't know how...
So I just had a silkie hatch some eggs for us and the egg colors were all the same brown some a little speckled. We got them from another local chicken owner.
Potential dads

-nova gen
-Rhode island red
Mom
-nova gen
Now the first two hatched classic...
So we got 6 fertile eggs from another local chicken owner. We put them under our broody silkie. 1 broke and now we are down to 5 unfortunately another chicken wanted to lay an egg in her spot. So I actually never heard of nova gen chickens and I looked it up are they always a RIR mixed with...

Broody hen hatched some babies five and a half weeks ago and I'm really curious on the gender of this specific one can I get some guesses? Its got non silkie feathers so clearly it got its biological mamas feathering so im hoping that means it might be more obvious to someone else what gender it...
I have a broody silkie she went broody october 10th only 3 were viable then until day 18 we realized new eggs were randomly showing up from i believe our other silkie so we created a seperate brooder so she couldnt get extra eggs.. We candled on the 30th(day 20) to make sure they were good and...
Does the count down for a hen hatching eggs start the day she sits her broody butt down? My silkie is at 20 days broody with 3 very live eggs however I feel like the air pockets look like they only around 14 days? Is it just me being brand new to candling and first time ever letting a hen sit on...
So.. one of my lovely 1-2 year old silkies decided to go broody 18 days ago we let her just to see if she was truly gonna do it.. so we candled the eggs 9 of twelve were not viable. At first we didn't think she could have viable eggs because we got rid of the rooster 11 days before she went...
