I have a flock of chickens that ranges in age from about 2-4 years old. All of them are healthy and laying. However, every few months we will lose one chicken. One day they will be active and running around their pen, and the next they will be listless and die quickly. Either that day or the...

I have 8 eggs in my incubator. 2 have hatched already, and only one more external pip. It is day 21. Are the other eggs no good or are they just slower at pipping? Waiting is killing me . Also, my humidity is at 64%, I can't get it any higher. Thanks everyone im just getting impatient!

So I have an incubator that also has a hatcher in the bottom. Will upping the humidity for the eggs on lockdown hurt the eggs still getting turned/incubated? Or do I just need to buy a separate hatcher to avoid the problem?

I have an adorable 7 month old bantam Cochin hen that's been laying for roughly a month. Her eggs are a bit smaller than our older hen that is the same size as her. I was wondering if I hatch her eggs if it will affect the chick since her eggs are so small. Should I wait for her to mature more...

So we have had our 9 month old easter egger rooster by himself for a while because it is very hard to find hens in our area. I finally got ahold of some Wyandotte hens that are seven monthes old the other day. The hens are on the smaller side while our ee rooster is huge. I put the two hens out...

My chick started contorting her body today. She's 5 weeks and curls her head backward towards her tail and flails. She can't stand. What could cause this? Please help.

My little Cochins were purchased from cackle a little over three weeks ago. I heard this has been a bad year for straight run. Hoping someone experienced can tell from their combs. Fingers crossed. 1 2 3

I have some "sexed" pullets I ordered from cackle hatchery and I'm starting to think some are boys after looking at articles about feather sexing. The two pictured are 3-4 day old chicks. The first one is an Easter egger, and the second one is a Cochin bantam. Thanks. [/IMG]

This is my fist time showing and I am taking my young khaki Campbell drake to my local fair. I am unaware if I will need to learn duck showmanship for a small local fair. Any input on that is appreciated. Also, I know I need to trim his nails and make sure he is clean. Is there anything else I...

I was considering breeding Mille Fleur Cochins and was wondering if my pullet is of high quality. I know this color is under construction at the moment, so I don't want to add any bad genes to the color. My goal is to further improve the chances of the APA recognizing this color. The pullet...

I've had my duck Ivy for about 10 weeks now. I have always assumed she was a male because her mates beak turned a yellow/green color and hers remained a slate color with a black bean. I've heard you can determine gender from the beak color. Here's a picture (sorry for the low quality)

Nova is a 10 week old Ameraucana. I've been debating whether or not she's a hen. She doesn't act like the other rooster her age, so I'm very confused! Thanks. [/IMG][/IMG]
