    Buff orpington, hen or roo?

    This may be just my imagination, but it seems that these tail feathers have appeared overnight. Does this change the opinion that this is a hen? It was hard to get a good picture. They are dark and pretty long. Chickens always know when you want a picture and they won't stand still!

    Buff orpington, hen or roo?

    I have noticed a difference in these from other breeds. They want to see me and find out what I'm doing. I've named this one Mable. She jumps on my back and climbs to my shoulder.

    Thank you. I think so too. I've had a few other people say rooster, but I'm not seeing. I sure hope so this one is my favorite.

    Buff orpington, hen or roo?

    These two are 7 weeks old. The one in front was bigger from the start, developed feathers faster than the other. It is also the most friendly. Any thoughts on these two?

    Possible Slipped Tendon

    Here are a couple pics. I took the tape off, I think it was making it worse. I didn't get anti-inflammatory. I almost think it's too far gone.

    Possible Slipped Tendon

    It's a week old silkie. It doesn't have any other symptoms. Has a good appetite and is gaining some weight. These were shipped eggs.

    Possible Slipped Tendon

    Thanks. I have been trying to correct this for a week now. Have been to the vet and they say it's not slipped tendon but the joint is swollen and they gave antibiotics. They taped the legs above and below the hock. I just am at a loss.

    I have a chick I need to treat and wonder if you can explain how to make the container the chicks are in? Thanks!

    How long should you let shipped eggs rest before incubating

    I didn't know that. I saw someone else posted somewhere they did that. I think it's hard on the eggs to ship them and no matter what you do, it might not turn out well.

    I tipped the incubator itself. I stopped at day 16 then laid them flat. I had 7 go to lockdown.4 hatched. 1 tried and I didn't help and it didn't make it. I personally won't hatch shipped eggs again. I think it's too hard on them

    How long should you let shipped eggs rest before incubating

    Today is day16. I have 7 live embryos, the others either quit or never developed. I have been keeping the eggs upright in cartons and tipping the incubator to turn. It looks to me that the aircells are in good shape. I have two questions. 1. Should I stop turning at day 16 or the usual 18? 2. If...

    How long should you let shipped eggs rest before incubating

    It's funny how chickens seem to always make a liar out of me, lol! I turned the eggs last night and figured while I had to handle them, it wouldn't hurt to look. I have 7 developing!!! :-) it's early, we'll see.
