I crossed over two varieties of same breed and ended up with a chocolate chick, which neither parent was chocolate, but would love to get these chicks to where they could breed true chocolate colors. What do I need to do with these chicks to get them to produce 100% chocolate chicks now? Should...

Ok before I ask this, I know that Easter Eggers are a mixed chicken to begin with....my question is, I have Easter Egger hens but no Easter Egger roo....if I breed them with a Gold Laced Wyandotte Roo, would the babies still be Easter Eggers? And if not, what type of roo other then an Easter...

I have only raised large fowl and unfortunately we do not have any LF chicken shows less then 3 hours away from where we live. Our kids were really hoping to show some of their chickens. I finally have broke down and allowed them to pick out a breed of bantam so that they could show in the local...

I was reading that India Blues can usually sexed pretty early on. Only its hard to tell on mine. I am suppose to be getting these adorable bitties in the next few weeks (Can't wait) They were hatched on July 25th. For those that do know about the sexing of the peachicks early on, what do you...

I know they are hard to find and I have came across a few that do breed them, however, they have not messaged me back and I am really wanting to order some Modern Red Pyle LF hatching eggs as soon as possible. Does anyone here breed them or know of someone in the US that does?

I am purchasing 4 baby mallard call ducks tomorrow and pretty excited Im use to my chickens but now looking forward to these gorgeous babies. Any advice for a new duck owner?

So we bought some Old English Game hens and a roo this past weekend. The owner had told us that most the females we had bought had never seen or been with a roo. He has been having his fun with the ladies since he has met them LOL. My question is, are the eggs fertile yet? I cracked open one...

Ok, today is day 20...on day 18 (after being placed in lockdown) we noticed eggs that started to wobble. It wasn't very often and I read that it could be a sign that they were getting ready to start doing their pecking and it could take a few days for the pip to appear. My husband kept telling...

I have no clue what is going on....we have both a digital and a mercury thermometer. Both were matching up before lockdown. We placed the eggs in lockdown last night and since we put the lid back on the incubator, the thermometers are no longer matching. Digital is reading 99.5 but the mercury...

So we are getting ready to place our very first eggs in lockdown this evening :) I can't wait to see how many hatch out. We only started with 12, just to see how the hatch goes. My fingers are crossed for a good hatch :) Everything seems well so Im hopeful. Temps have stayed between 99.3 and...

I have never had bcm chicks before, just full grown ones. Anyways, Ive noticed that has the chicks are feathering out, they are beginning to have different colors. I have 14 in all (6 of them seem to have brown on their feathers already and 8 are still solid black)....my question is, first is...

Okay, I have two black copper marans that are fully grown and two cuckoo marans that are fully grown. However, my marans I know are about 11 months of age (not sure on the cuckoos). I have been sitting and watching to see which ones are laying and which ones are giving me what eggs so that I...

Im not 100% sure on some of my baby chick's exact age. I know they are around 5-8 weeks old but that's about all I know. Two particular breeds seem to be just about ready to go out of the brooder if not already. Right now, our brooder is still in the house because we are doing some construction...

I'm pretty sure I did but still wanted to ask some of you that have been doing well. My glw were bought as straight run and I wanted to make sure I am sexing them correctly now that they are 4 weeks old. This is my thoughts: I'm thinking this is a roo due to the short tail, the mouth (forgot...

I do not vent my chicks because I've read if its not done correctly that it can harm the chicks. Now my chicks are 3-4 weeks old (Golden Lace Wyandottes, Red Sexlinks, White Leghorns, and Easter Eggers). I've seen some people be able to tell the sex of the chicks at this age and was wondering if...
