Any ideas to help this little one? She hatched out last night under a broody hen, but it seems her legs aren't working properly. She couldn't keep up with her siblings and got cold. I've got her under a light and she has had some chick electrolyte water. Thinking sugar water next. Seems she's...

Any color, any size, up to a dozen. Would need them shipped to Colorado. Thanks!

So I thought one of my pullets was dead when she didn't come to roost in the coop last night. I looked everywhere around the yard and over in the neighbors thinking she jumped the fence. No sign of her. This morning I found her hidden in some ivy type plants sitting on 12 (sadly, infertile)...

Okay, so these pics aren't all that great, oh well. Here are my chicks that hatched a couple of days ago out and about with their momma. I am amazed at how well they are doing and about what a good mom my Silkie is. They are so funny! If you want to see more pics and/or read their...

So, I have a broody sitting on 12 eggs, and I'm wondering what to do with the babies when they hatch. They are due in about 2 weeks. Should I let my broody raise them? She is not super friendly, and I'm worried she will pass that on to the chicks. How long will a hen "mother" baby chicks...

Now that I know she's sitting on fertile eggs... Anybody want to be my hatching buddy? I'm hatching- 7 OEGB 5 Silkie/Sizzle 1 Egyptian/RIR cross Here's to hoping my broody stays broody!

My very first chicken. Got him for Easter. My banty Buff Brahma cockerel. This chicken was the coolest. He would ride on my motorcycle with me, ride on the horses with me, he was best friends with a cat, and he even came with me on a 4 day camping trip! I think he got eaten by a coon last...

I can't really find a for sure answer on this question and I was wondering. Are there any standard size Silkies or are Silkies strickly a Bantam breed? Thanks!

So, my white Silkie went broody a couple of days ago. I had collected an egg from her to incubate, but then put it back when she went broody, and the other egg she is sitting on I was going to open to see if it was fertilized, but I'm going to wait and candle it later. Hopefully they are...

Just wondering...I have 7 three week old chicks and I'm noticing that some of them are getting their feathers quicker and I have one that is the same breed, but growing like a monster. When you have the same breed and the same age, have you noticed that one gender tends to develop faster than...

So I was so flippin excited to find my first egg in the nesting box from my standard white Silkie tonight! I thought it was a very large egg for her size and was worried for a split second until I turned it over. I was bummed, but I laughed pretty hard. It says OWIEEEE! Thanks mom for...

I ordered 5 Ameraucana Bantams and 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Bantams from Ideal and they came on Thursday. With my order they sent 10 extra standard roosters as "packing chicks" and I ended up with 18 cute babies! All 18 My favorite little one. Please be a pullet dear.

My 10 week old Buff Brahma Bantam is getting saggy eyelids. It's like her eyelids are growing without the rest of her face and the tissue below her eyes is being exposed. She can close her eyes just fine and they don't look too dry and there are no other symptoms. There is no discharge from...

I'm pretty sure this chick is a cockerel, but still trying to learn and guess at it. Are the tiny "knobs" above the fourth toe in these pics the start of spurs? When do they start to really develop? Spurs only develop on males, correct? Thanks!

Hey, I'm Ashley from Utah. My boss bought me a chick for Easter (what inspired that is up in the air) and 7 weeks later here I am with my lovely Little Peaches. I never knew a stinky chicken could be so much fun! Peaches' biggest adventure to date was riding on my shoulder while I drove my...

This is Peaches, my first chicken ever. A neighbor friend said she was a Cochin pullet and I just wanted a second (or a dozen) opinion. Also, what is her color? Is there such a color as mottled buff? Thanks for your help! *UPDATE* Peaches is definitely a Mr.
