chick is 6 days old.
Won’t walk straight up. Other chicks it came with were fine. We did lose one yesterday unknown as for why. But this one has been like this since we got it.
Not sure why?
Any help appreciated ❤️
Our Japanese bantam went broody.
A week in I gave her 3 chicks. She abandoned them and refused to go near them. She then rooster with everyone as normal. Now she’s back in her nesting box. And hoarding eggs.
What do I do?
I have an incubator with eggs. Do I let her hatch them? (Due next...
What are we loving for coop floor bedding? We currently use mulch - which is working well! But looking at an easier upkeep now that we have more chickens!
thinking switching to sand? But not sure of the upkeep there!
What else is recommended? Wanting something that’s chicken friendly, easy...
Annnnnd we are back in the incubator game!
This time we have 2 going. 🤭
We have in:
12 white leghorn eggs
6 mottled polish eggs
3 mottled Belgian duccle eggs
1 porcelain Belgian duccle eggs
2 Mille fleur Belgian duccle eggs
24 Rhode Island Red eggs
12 mix surprise bunch (breeds on eggs. But...
This one has everyone stumped!
I know Olive eggers are hard because of the breeds to make them.
But I need help.
No crow, obviously no eggs.
Boy? Girl?
Every day I think something else 😂
Today I’m thinking boy lol.
My 6.5 week old Jap Bantams are not fully feathered yet! What is going on?
they are healthy, eating, growing, playing. But not feathers on head yet lol.
Pic of the boy jap bantam.
But him and the girl are the same feather wise. (I just don’t have a recent photo of her).
So we have 2x 5 week old jap bantams.
I’m pretty sure both are boys, but please confirm?
Photo 1-2 is first chick (unsure, but slow feathering to me says boy. But comb isn’t as prominent as second so not sure)
Photo 3-4 is second chick (pretty confident boy)
Hey all,
So a couple days ago I posted in another forum about a dog attack (well, 3 dogs) where unfortunately 5 of our chickens died.
One was very injured in the attack. No blood. But is limping significantly. She’s not a small girl either -(she’s a Cochin. So big girl).
She’s been kept quiet...
Today we lost some of our chickens. 3 dogs broke in, damaged some fencing and took the lives of 5 of our girls. Injured a further 2 and the remaining 5 (including the injured ones) are all in shock.
I posted in our local fb group looking for the dogs, with only brief descriptions and their...
Hello!
Me…. Again. (And I’ll be back again tomorrow to play this game again)
SLW- 6-7 weeks old.
What do we think?
I’m assuming one of each.
So is another friend. But we aren’t sure.
This Araucana belongs to someone I know.. They’ve asked for opinions on if it’s a boy or a girl. I’m feeling boy. However others have said it’s a girl.
Any opinions?
:)
gender of this baby? Frizzle.
Noting: I got worried it’s a boy due to wattle and comb development and colour.
Someone said it was a girl tho..
but I’m really unsure!
So,
Wondering if anyone can pin point what’s happening?
We’ve got a chick going down hill. awful smell (think haven’t cleaned coop in a while bad smell but it’s clean). She’s lethargic, (pale comb etc), doesn’t want to eat or drink. Poop is normal. No resp illness.
No lice etc.
What could it...
These two girls belong to a friend of mine, she’s asked me to share them in hopes maybe someone can suggest what her lighter girl may be? (Both were said to be isa browns. The lighter one is 2, darker one is 18mo). Both lay. Lighter girl lays an egg that’s lighter (light brown- sometimes white)...
Today one of our chicks was injured. I’ve kept her quiet all day (in dark box) she does NOT go outside.
I just moved her into a cat carrier so she’s more secure for the night. And this was her poop?
Note: POOP photo is in comments. Don’t read past this if you don’t wanna look? 🤷🏼♀️🥲
Note...
I did post this sweetie weeks ago. She was said to be an Araucana. (We are in Australia if this makes a difference)
Just wanna check if we still think that? Or if she’s more Easter egger?
And I guess I better ask.
She is a girl …. Right? 😂 💛 🙃
