Ok... So I can't breed a sex link to a rir rooster and get a sex link. If I breed a sex link with a rir rooster... Can i feather sex? Will that fast feathering K (?) gene still exist?
If I have a new Hampshire red rooster and golden comet sex links, can I breed them and get healthy babies? If I breed new Hampshire red TO a rir, will it still be sexible at hatch?
Yes the membrane is punctured. Iv checked the egg this am and the chick is peeping so I will leave it in the incubator. Luckily it was fast enough along.
It is day 18. I was candling and by accident bumped the table. It has been 2+ hours and the baby is still breathing. Should I try and close the crack with wax or let it be?
Hi everyone,
My polish cannot stand on her left leg. It looks like it could be dislocated/ broken. Should I try twisting it into place? We do not have a poultry very by us. She is eating and drinking. I have her 1/2 baby aspirin and 1/4 tab of B1.[/IMG]
I provide a dish if food and water in her coop. I too will feed her what the babies eat. I have owned chicks for 3 years and never feed them oyster shells. U can also give the hens the chicken shells after using the egg
My broody hen watched the babies hatch one by one and still sat on the eggs for a full week until skill were hatched. She did get up and help the new babies at the same time
Ok thank you. I'm hoping to have a Polish Chicken expert provide some feedback. We have a few adults and I tried to compare them. I am just so new at this, I don't know what to look for or where to start. I do appreciate your feedback though!!!
Hi,
I took pics of 2 babies that have hatched. Can anyone provide detailed information if you comment as to why you think one is that gender and the other is that gender. First pic of the red - I say a boy because of the red on the beak and the tail feathers.
Thank you both for the response. The Orpington is about 6 years old. I only have one as the other chick died. I did not hatch them. I'm having an issue trying to upload my photo.
Thanks for your help!
