    My 5 chicks!

    I hatched 5 chicks, they are super cute. I was hoping for triple the amount but I can't be sad about it cos the 5 I have are so cute. They haven't got names yet, I am hoping gender is obvious early on so we can give them names that they get to keep! I've got 3 silkies, not sure what...

    How long can a turkey survive with blackhead? Can they recover?

    So, we bought 10 turkeys two weeks ago and we have lost 7 of them to blackhead within the first few days. I have no idea where they got it from, we bought all new things for their run and they are a long way from any chickens. Anyway, we have now got three turkeys clearly infected with...

    Keeping a turkey alone, or with older

    So i put 6 posted turkey eggs under my broody orpington and we have ended up with only one egg with a live chick in. I have contacted a few people about getting turkeys and I have found some 3 week old turkeys. If this turkey does hatch then is it best to keep it alone or introduce it to older...

    So, I bought this hen about 7 years ago and she came with three orpingtons. We were told that she was an orpington also and we assumed she was but we sort of throught she was a little deformed. The woman who we got her from had loads of different breeds of chickens and I think the hen might be...

    Broken/slightly crushed egg

    So last night I had what looked like an early pip; it would only be day 17/18. This morning I looked at it more closely and I think it had just been stood on. The egg had been pushed out from under the chicken and was cold, not making any noise and had blood on it. I assumed it must be dead by...

    No airsac in egg

    I have three eggs due to hatch this weekend. I had 4, but one was rotten and the broody hen pushed it out of the nest and it exploded. None of the gunk went on the other chicks but it did go onto the hen. I wiped most of it off her but it was impossible to get it all. Anyway I candled quickly...

    Look what turned up! (cute chicks!)

    I keep our chickens free range mostly and every year a few disappears and returns with a clutch of eggs; it always happens to be the smallest chickens with the tiniest eggs! Today 13 little chicks arrived, they barely fit under their mother despite eing teeny tiny. They sort of screw up my...

So far I have 4 orpington hens; 2 blue, one partridge and one brown, white and black flecked one. And then I...
