Hello all,
A month or so ago I borrowed a friend Janoel Incubator and I was so excited about my first hatch. After waiting 21 days we did not have a single hatch (we had one pipped egg, but the chick died). I was devastated. After some investigation with the incubator I discovered that although...
Hello,
It's been 1 week and I have had 3 x 18 week old Silkies die.
The first died 48 hours after bathing them all (I did all the right things, washed them in warm water, dried them and left them inside under a heat light for 24 hours until i 100% sure they were completely dry).
The second...
Hi guys,
Do you think these darlings are males or females?
This is Honey and is about 18 weeks old

Hello,
Just wanting to know if this is normal or not.
My very first egg pipped at about 9pm last night...It is not midday and there doesn't seem to be any progress...Is this normal?

Hi guys,
Can you tell if my darling Lemon is male or female?
This one is of Satay who we think is a boy and Lemon who we are unsure of.
They are 14 weeks old and I haven't had any eggs nor crowing as yet. Lemon does have a wattle which none of the other seem to have.
Any idea guys?

Hello All,
We currently have 3 chooks (2 isa browns & 1 white sussex) and we are thinking about adding a couple of Australorp chooks...is there likely to be any issues adding them to the existing coup we already have?

Hello all,
I have an Isa Brown hen who crows all the time and usually around the same time...Is this normal? I have only 3 hens in total and she is the only one who does it...I though only roosters crowed and she is 100% hen! We started off with 2 hens which haven't been around roosters before...

I have just been out to give my chooks some cool fresh water as it's going to be a hot day today...We have had a couple of hot days and so I thought when one of my chooks lost a few feathers on her chest that maybe she wasn't coping with the heat so well...So anyways I have been out to give them...
