Self Blue Ameracauna trio. 2 hens and 1 roo. 2 yrs old. They carry the wheaten coloring also. They are bantams so I would prefer someone with only bantams or docile standard chickens. Pick up only. I live in Bradford NH. Email would be preferred for contact. [email protected]. Thanks!

I have or had 3 bantam ameracaunas with a roo, two of the hens were not laying good for a while but they were molting so I didn't think to much of it. Then the last couple of days one of them I noticed was walking the penguin walk and open mouthed breathing. So I gave her a warm soak and checked...

This is my story. I had a silkie roo with mostly silkies and hatched a bantam brahma roo and hen and decided to keep them. So I rehomed the silkie roo because he was constantly chasing the brahma roo and now after 1 day of being gone me brahma roo is being rather aggressive with the ladies. One...

I just hatched out 19 silkies. I have black, white, partridge, possibly blue and cuckoo. I have some that are mostly buff with just a little partridge on wings, very pretty. $6 each. Pick up only I do not ship. I'm in NH Sunappee area.

I've never had this happen before. These are EE eggs. It's swollen and red. Is this the egg yolk? Will this work itself out? I will try and get a picture. Thanks!

This chick hatched last night and I noticed today it's scooting on its butt and not walking. I've read through the forum and have it in a glass, no improvement and it just cheaps and cheaps I tried the papertowel donut but it just wiggles out of it. I can't get it to use its legs for standing...

I have one roo over 10 hens. I'm finding he's liking the younger hens and not the older ones. Who still lay and are not THAT old! :) He's in great condition, he's just being selective. Is there any way of motivating him to breed with the other hens? Or will I have to do A I to get any babies...

I've run this incubator for several hatches with no temp fluctuation at all. I let it sit for the last 2 yrs and in the last 2 months have done 2 hatches. The firs one, no temp change. At the end of the last hatch the temp went down. They had mostly all hatched so I left it till they were done...

Hi, I have silkie eggs from my birds in the incubator due to hatch on the 7th. I have 20 that look good to go. A week after I put these in I put in more eggs and there are 16 out of them that are growing. The plan was I was going to use a styrofoam cooler and a heat lamp and a sponge for...

Seriously, have been searching forever, and cannot find instructions. Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi, I hatched some silkies, my eggs, and one chick is not able to walk like the others. I've had chicks with the slipped tendon so I know that isn't what it is. It could be a little spraddle leg?, but still not sure. I've been doing chick physical therapy since yesterday morning and it can get...

I have no idea what to do now. I ordered the second incubator so I wouldn't disturb my shipped eggs that are on day 10. But it isn't going to be here till wednesday. Lockdown for the first set of eggs (my eggs) is tomorrow. Now what am I going to do. Anybody have this happen to them??

I ordered a 1602 hovabator to use for a hatcher. I want to put a computer fan into it when I get it. Does anyone know which size to use? I will be ordering it online so if you have a place I can get it that would be a bonus! Also does anyone know how to put one in?

I have silkies in my incubator. The first set is due to hatch around the 1st of April. The second set I just set yesterday and today. I think instead of doing a staggered hatch I should either make a hatcher or buy a cheap incubator just for hatching. I've been looking at the Hovabator 1602. And...

I've been searching and haven't found much info of handling shipped eggs when they arrive. Is there a sticky somewhere's that gives some help? I heard your supposed to let them sit for 12-24hrs before putting them in the incubator and that you should have the pointy side up. Is this correct...

Should I worry about this? I cleaned it with disinfectant soap and let it air out side in the sun. It didn't smell until I turned it on. It's not real strong but I do smell it when I open to turn eggs. Should I take the eggs out and clean it again?

I just did my second hatch and one of the chicks had something I had never seen or read about wrong with it's legs. I did a search and found out it was slipped achilled tendons. This chick had it in both legs and had been getting around on it's hocks which were swollen and split. I did the...

I know this has been discussed and I have gone through the archives but I still have questions. I just noticed yesterday, well the day before but it was later in the day so I just thought she ate alot. Her crop is sticking out so far and I checked and it isn't going down, it's a hard ball. I...

I saw a post on this with pics but I can't find it now. Does anyone have some pics? I thought I would give it a shot with my silkie chicks. Thanks
