Aloha,
What do you think about this last round of chicks? Boy or girl?
Dad is a game mix. There are multiple purebreed moms. They are 10-11 weeks old.
#1: white leghorn mom
#2: white leghorn mom
#3: no idea...maybe one of the white leghorns (this one is my absolute favorite!)
#4: this...
Hello,
Could you all help us determine if these new chicks are keepers or not?
Dad is a game mix and various moms:
#1--I think this one was from our little bantam mom, maybe a Welsummer
#2--we call this one's mom a black leghorn, but never have been sure about that. She's all black.
#3--not...
Here's another round of "please help me figure out what to do with my brood"!
Papa is a game mix, moms are a variety of purebreeds.
Chicks are about 10 weeks.
#1 Ha, ha...not sure. I think the mom was an Ameraucana...
#2 Mama is a white leghorn
#3 RIR mom---COCKEREL all the way, right...
Male or female...that is the question....
Here is round #1 of pics from my new batch of chicks, now 10 weeks. The male is a mix himself (BYC posters think he's a game/EE mix). I'm not sure on all of the chicks' moms, but...
#1 is Ameraucana mom
#2 is a Leghorn mom
#3 is a Rhode Island Red mom...
Hi all! Can someone help me figure out what breed our lovely rooster is? We found him in the forest behind our house (here in Hawaii) and he jumped in our coop and has called it home. He's great and is now the father to many of our little chicks. We're thinking he's an Ameraucana...
I just checked my little Bantam hen today, as it's day 21 and low and behold there was one little chick nice and dry under her and another hatching as I looked! So exciting! AND HILARIOUS as none of the eggs seem to be hers...the two little peeps were solid black and came out of dark brown...
Hi all,
I have one egg (out of 12!) that has not hatched. It was due four days ago, and all others collected on that day, and for the next four days, have hatched or pipped. This one shows no movement. When I candled it shows a defined air sac and black on one side and clear on another. I...
Hi all,
My coop got really wet when we had heavy rains a couple of weeks ago. I just noticed that a few of the birds have big clumps of poo/dirt/straw stuck to the end of their toes. I held one and soaked the clumps with a wet washcloth and picked away at the clump. However, when the clump...
Hello! Can anyone tell me what I should do with a brand new chick (hatched this morning) that has a piece of the membrane or shell? stuck to its wing? I thought it would fall off on its own, but now it seems cemented on. I took it out of the incubator and put it in the broody box. Seems fine...
