    Silkie head twitching/swaying off and on since a chick

    I have a silkie rooster who has this strange head twitch/sway. We call him our “funky chicken” 😬. We started noticing it when he was a small chick and it went away for the most part and just came back again. He is now about 12 weeks old. I am thinking it may be a vitamin deficiency but I wanted...

    Homeschool Hatch-a-Long (Round 2)

    After getting 2 chicks out of 12 eggs in our first hatch (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/homeschool-hatch-along-2-23-hatch.1651652/) my friend gave us 10 more fertilized eggs. 🥰 We just did our first candle on Day 14 and we have 3 that look good staying in the incubator!

    Converting a dog run

    Hello all! We have a mostly concrete dog run on the side of our house with a small dirt patch. (Pardon the mess - chickens haven’t lived here for several months.) Half the dog run is for the dog (on the other side of the black fence). We have a tiny coop/run that we adopted with 4 chickens...

    Homeschool Hatch-Along (2/23 hatch)

    Hello everyone! We are a homeschooling family that adopted 4 chickens (2 buffs, 1 sex link, 1 rhode island red) about a year ago. Things didn’t go very well with those 4 hens - one died from mites we thought we had taken care of, the red was re-homed because she was bullying the other smaller...

    Egg carton in Nurture Right 360 incubator?

    Hello everyone - This is my first time incubating and I read that keeping shipped eggs pointed end down and not rotating them for the first 3-5 days in the incubator is best. Is putting them in the Nurture Right 360 in an egg carton for the first few days like pictured ok? I just want to make...

    Homeschooling fam

    Hello everyone! We are a homeschooling family that adopted 4 chickens about a year ago. Things didn’t go very well with those 4 hens and now we have decided to start over and incubate eggs from scratch for the first time. We are very excited! I don’t know anyone who hasn’t wanted baby chicks as...

    Will parrot screeching disturb eggs/chicks?

    Hello everyone! We are incubating eggs for the first time. I wanted to keep the incubator and brooder in a downstairs room because we can regulate the temperature well and it is safe from our dog. However, that room also houses our red headed Amazon parrot and he can get quite loud sometimes...
