    Hen or roo?

    Can you guys help me sex my 3 month old silkie chicks? I know it’s hard to sex silkies and best options are to wait until they either crow or lay an egg but sometimes a few are really obvious so I wanted to see what you guys think. How many look like they might be roos and how many might be...

    Coccidiosis??

    So I have some baby chicks who all of a sudden started getting weak and dying within days. It started with my kikiriki chick who had messy feathers, stood under the heat lamp with its head down a lot of the time and now my two silkie chicks are doing it too along with a silkie mix. They all seem...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Okay, so I’ve been raising chicks for almost three years now. My survival rate for my chicks has always been high; I rarely lost a chick in the past 3 years, and I’ve raised so many. I just always put extra time and care into my chicks. But I don’t know where everything went wrong this time...

    Dropped pipped egg

    So today is hatch day for my chicken eggs in the incubator and all of them have pipped and so far two hatched. When I opened the incubator to take the first two chicks out and put them in their brooder, one of them pushed over an egg and it fell and cracked. The egg was already pipped but when...

    Sick baby chick?

    So one of our hens hatched chicks and she has 7, while cleaning her pen, I noticed one of the chicks had very ruffled feathers, just stood there, and chirped a lot. I brought it over to the brooder with the other chicks. It does eat a little but I'm concerned for how it looks overall. It’s a...

    Silkie too small?

    is my 3 month old showgirl silkie too small for her age? I feel like she is too small for 3 months. What do you guys think?? The lady I bought her from has her sister who’s the same age I believe, and she’s much bigger than her or at least that’s what it looks like in her pictures she’s shown...

    Roo or Hen?

    I have some 6 month old barred rock “pullets” but one of them is a little bit bigger than the rest and it’s mean to its siblings. when they were younger, they did get behind from my other young chickens because they got sick so they may be a little smaller for their age. Anyway, I doubt this...

    baby chick stuck to membrane

    I assisted a bantam chick in hatching because I was away from home for a while and the humidity had dropped extremely on day 19 for this chick and it was shrink wrapped so I assisted. I peeled off the shell and left the membrane because it was still attached to the chick. I am aware I could not...

    baby chick genetics

    So I have a rooster who is mixed with a silkie and a kikiriki hen. He has 5 toes and feathered feet on both legs because of his silkie side. I recently bred him with a kikiriki hen who has 4 toes, and no feathered feet. I was only able to get one chick out of it but the chick came out with 4...

    Silkie color breeding

    So I have a black silkie rooster, a white silkie hen, and a buff silkie hen. I know that when breeding my black rooster with my white hen, the chicks will all come out black because the black is dominant and the white is recessive. But, when breeding my black rooster with my buff hen, what color...

    So 19 days ago, I placed 11 eggs in my incubator and 10 made it to lockdown, one hatched with an unabsorbed yolk and died less than a minute after hatching, and this other one hatched but doesn’t want to walk around with its siblings. He doesn’t open his eyes, his siblings walk on him and he...

    So a year ago, I bred my kikiriki hen with my silkie rooster and I got one chick which is this rooster. His name is blue and he is half silkie and half kikiriki.

    I have this hen that I am going to be breeding with my rooster soon and I was wondering what kind of breed she was. She’s for sure a bantam but I’m not sure what kind. Maybe she’s mixed

    Hen or Roo?

    So I bought some chicks from my local feed store about 3 weeks ago and this one has the biggest comb of them all and looks to be a rooster to me. I’m not sure though because I’m not good at sexing chicks. The feed store sexes their chicks as pullets so I’m not too sure what it is. Wondering what...
