    Fully Formed chicks not hatching

    I've been searching through the forums and can't find a situation quite like mine so I'm posting. Sorry if this is a repeat I've been having horrible luck hatching so I finally opened up the way past due eggs to see what was going on. Out of 9 eggs, one hatched, two weren't developed and the...

    Straw bale rooster bunker ;)

    So my dear Richie Roo has a mighty crow for a silkie boy. I'm allowed to have roosters but since I live in a neighborhood in city limits I have to follow noise ordinances or else risk being turned in for too early/too late crowing and potentially be forced to rehome my boys. So I got creative...

    RIP Willow

    I'm writing this and I can't stop crying I just walked outside to find my dog eating my most favorite silkie. I have no idea how he got ahold of her. The run she was in looked like it had been pushed it up in the corner and created a gap he's too big to have gone in there and gotten her and...

    Anyone know a breeder that has polish that are colored like this guy? ( see below) If so please point me in the right direction.

    PLEASE HELP (pics) Impacted crop??

    The last few days I've noticed Peepers hasn't been feeling well. Drooping wings, lethargic, poofed up with watery stool and I also noted what I assumed was clear poo with white in it. I isolated her yesterday and based off of my fears of cocci and worms treated everyone with Wazine and started...

    Is Peepers sick? (pics inside)

    Little Peepers is about 5 weeks old. She is a bantam Lavender Ameraucana. She is eating/drinking & pooping normally. She throws a fit whenever she is picked up or separated from her buddies hence her name "Peepers". She is walking and moving around fine and her little bum is all clear and not...

    Will this work for a feeder? Also brooder/waterer help (pics inside)

    My new babies should be in here tomorrow and the next day (I hope!) I picked this wild bird feeder up and wanted some feed back on using it as a feeder. It says it holds up to 4.5lbs of feed.

    Does age of chicks make a difference in tameness?

    Sorry if this is a repeat and covered somewhere else, I searched but came up blank. I want to buy some chicks to raise as pets, ideally ones tame enough to end up actually wanting to be or liking to be handled or touched. I'm looking mainly at silkies. Here's my question: Is it best to buy a...
