Looks like a red sex-link.

Wing sexing only works on day-old chicks of certain breeds or crosses.

I did have to help a baby yesterday that was completely zipped but was stuck to the membrane so it couldn't push out.

Never mind. It hatched the moment I went to heat up some food.

This chick is on day 22, pipped on day 21. It is done zipping but keeps rotating like it is trying to keep zipping. Most of the chicks hatched yesterday with one hatching early this morning. What do I do?

You said that they didn't have mallards, so it's not a mallard. Rouen for sure.

The green stuff is embryo waste.

Can someone who has bantams post pictures of 7-8 week olds? I am having trouble sexing mine.

It’s been a while since I gave an update, mainly because of school stuff and this one problem where my dogs ate my science project, plus, I just forgot to take pictures. 4 weeks old: Six weeks old:

It's feathering out white with a few black feathers.

For those of you that hatch lots of chicks, have you ever had an odd colored chick from a mating you know would throw a certain color? I just hatched an Ancona chick but it doesn't look like an Ancona. I talked to one of my poultry friends that said it was an Ancona leghorn throwback. Have any...

Has anyone hatched out any white throwbacks? I just happened to hatch one Ancona egg with others and the chick turned out white with black spots.

One week old pictures! I would take individual pictures but they squirm too much. I am not sure whether Olive (middle) is a pullet or rooster. It is feathering out slower than Lucy but faster than Bert. Lucy in front, Bert standing behind her. Olive is oblivious to me taking a picture.

3 days old and already roosting. He tried to fall asleep, but his sisters wouldn’t let him.

Apparently, bantam Langshans grow out just like large fowl Langshans- the roos feather out much, much slower than the hens. So, they can be feather sexed. I can safely call them Lucy, Bert, and Olive.

I would get more ventilation. Frostbite comes from a combination of freezing temperatures and moisture. You can leave the pop door open for them, chickens have excellent insulation. Plus, if they are cooped in they will get bored and may start picking at each other. If you have any large combed...

Ok, so we ended up with three chicks: Lucy/Luke, Burt/Bertha, and Olive/Oliver. Lucy/Luke hatched around 2:00 yesterday morning, Burt/Bertha hatched at 10:30 a.m. yesterday, and Olive(r) hatched sometime last night or very early this morning because it was dry when I woke up. From left to...
