Hi,
I have 4, 6 week old chicks.
Black and white one is defo a boy. And I thought the white and slight black splash one was too as it’s sparring with the black and white one. But on closer look I’m not sure.
The best pictures I could get at the moment.
Picture 1: orange chick
Picture 2...
Hi,
Does anyone know what make this chicken is and whether they think it’s a cockerel or hen?!
I think it’s a boy, he spars and is quite bossy. But very loving and likes to held. Also, for the breed he is very flighty and came out of a medium cream egg.
Many thanks
Yes they are real strawberries!!! Amazing aren't they.
So far I have a little black chick and a grey one with a yellow belly. The main hen to have sat on them is a normal sized hen... Grey with a red neck. The chicks will be tiny In comparison.
Just got home late and heard peeping from under the broody chickens..(I have 4 rather keen hens who all want to be mummies to the 5 the pekin bantam eggs brought from eBay. They sit on top of and steal the fertile eggs at any opportunity). Anyway, it's only day 19 and 2 have already hatched...
I've just had a chick hatch and it seems to have a hernia or prolapse coming out of it's bum. I have waited a few hours to see if it goes back in in it's own, but it hasn't.
What should I do?
Not completely fluffy yet also looks like she has a rectal prolapse ! Not that I'm a doctor but there is defo something not righ. Hopefully it'll go back in.
Oo just looked and one has pipped! Yippie!
I thought I'd totally ruined them as the 6 eggs went in a week later than the first batch. Then they all got totally used as footballs when the one and only chick to hatch got out!
What with that and different humidity etc I really thought I wouldn't be...
i have a batch of very dark eggs (Marans) and have just candled them before lock. i can`t really see through the eggs... well apart from the lighter one which clearly has an air sack.
Should i be clearly seeing air sacks on the darker eggs too?
I have one cuckoo maran boy ( I think) that hatched on day 22.
2 more in the incubator and it's now day 24. Do you think there is still a chance?? I m not sure they are alive. Shame.
He is now helping me type this!
