I just got some new chicks today from a breeder my question is i have a maran that went broody. She has been that way about 3 days. She has raised chicks before and was a great mother but last time she was broody about 2 weeks before i gave her chicks. Do you think it would be too soon to give...

I don't know much at all about breeding silkies, I just had my first hatch from my own chickens and I'm trying to figure out which rooster is the dad to have gotten the colors I got. The momma hen is black split to paint. I have a blue rooster and a splash rooster. The babies are partridge...

I am now on day 24. I went ahead and candled a couple of them. This one pictured and one other is dark all the way through.

HI, this is my silkies first time being broody so I gave her some fertile eggs. I have never hatched out eggs before. We are now on day 22 and no piping or anything. I candled one of the eggs this morning and it is completely dark and I can't see anything through it. ( I really don't even...

I have eggs under a broody hen and am on day 22 and no pips or anything yet either. I was told to leave them up until day 27. This is my first time but figured I would have better luck with my silkie sitting on them then if I would have tried to incubate myself. :(

Hi, I am looking for some free coop plans online and not having much luck.. It kept bringing up old post about a Free Purina Mills design but the link must not be there any longer because I can't seem to find it on their website. I have a coop now but am looking for something a little smaller...

I am about to go out of town tomorrow and have a sick pullet and have no idea what to do with her. She has been lethargic and not eating/drinking for the last 4 days. I have gotten a little down her by syringe. I have added corid to water and also wormed her 3 days ago...still no improvement...

Thank you, I did get him from a breeder and he was vaccinated. Are they still able to get Mareks even when vaccinated? As of this morning there has been no change :(

One other note, we recently just got a lot of rain. He started acting sick 2 days after all of the rain. Don't know if it could somehow be related or just a coincidence.

I have a sick silkie rooster who is about 8 months old. Has been fine until about last Tuesday when I came home and noticed him hanging out by himself, I noticed he had diarrhea so I started everyone on electrolytes and pro biotics. Wasn't' much change the next day but on Thursday he was...

Here is one next to one of my layers that is the same age.

Here is a pic next to one of my little layers the same age. this is the one that i think could be the white pullet.

Okay well I called them and the lady at Tractor Supply said they may be Leghorns. They do not order any specific breed its just hatchers choice. I did contact the hatchery (privett hatchery) and she said they are most likely cornish rock. So now still don't know. I did not want meat chickens :(

I got them at Tractor Supply as strait run (no name breed) which I will not be doing again. I just thought they were to cute but now they just seem so much bigger than my others. I have golden sex links, easter eggers, and silkies(which I know are small anyway) but I would have thought the sex...

hmm, I really have no idea what they are. I got them as strait runs at Tractor Supply which I will not be doing again. I like knowing what breeds I am getting etc. I will have to try and get pictures of them later next to one of my Golden Sexlinks of the same age. Someone told me they were...

These two are both 3 months old, I thought they were both Roosters but the more I watch the one in the 2nd pic I think it kind of looks like a hen. The Comb and wattle are smaller and the definite rooster is bigger in size. Both are much bigger than my other chicks of the same age, I didn't...

I am sorry to hear about your chick RLBRAND. :( I do not have a new update on mine, she is still the same. Vet splinted her legs on Friday but I took it off yesterday because she couldn't move at all with it on- didn't even try to move. I am afraid she may not get better, it has been 9...

Mine is still about the same, she is very alert even grooms herself where she can reach but just uses her wings and drags herself around. Seems happy other than her legs, which she will kick around quite a bit especially when you pick her up. I believe its an injury, I spoke to a vet this...

Thank you, I offered her some egg yesterday but she wasn't interested. She will pick at her chick grower and she is drinking out of the dropper well. Her wings seem to be functioning and she can move her legs more but still doesn't have enough control to keep them under her. I am still...
