Hi all! I have some Lavender Orpington eggs hatching under some hens, and they come from my flock of 100% Lavender Orpingtons, no possibility of anyone cross breeding as I only have these and Seramas and they are seperate. The chick that just hatched is almost ALL yellow with a spot of...

They're about 8-10 wks old Silkied Ameraucana and I haven't got a clue as to how to sex anything with a pea comb until it's older, lol. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

I got this pullet in a trade along with 6 barred rock, and 6 rhode island reds. I can't figure out what breed she is, or if she's just a mix of some sort. Any guesses? She sure is pretty though!

I picked up these new hens today for free from Craigslist, but didn't ask what breed as the lady seemed busy. Any guesses would be appreciated. I think the first may be a speckled sussex? Not sure of the other 2. I also picked one up that looks like a barred rock, but has a flat comb with points...

Hi all! I have two young Brown African geese that I recently acquired..they are both young, One is about 4 weeks, the other maybe 6 weeks..I'm assuming based on what the breeder said the youngest was. Anyway, I decided I wanted to learn to vent sex them. I'm a hands-on person, and I'm not...

I'm new to geese, this is my first one. I think it's an African, but want to be sure. He sure is cute! I never knew geese could be so much fun! We named him Gonzo..but obviously I don't know yet if it's a dame or a gander..cant wait until I can tell! Any guesses on approximate age?

Got these in a trade as Seramas..but looking at the cockerel I have my doubts. Either way they're beautiful. Any guess on color also? I think the cockerel is mottled, but not sure of the hen. And another for a better shot of the hen.

I hatched these chicks yesterday from a pen of Lavender, Blue, Black, and Buff Orpington hens, with Lavender, Blue, and Buff Orpington cockerels. Of course there was a Brown Leghorn, White Leghorn, Ameracauna, and Salmon Faverolle hen in there, but these looked like Orpington eggs. Any idea...

Was not sure..I'm new to this "color" thing..but I THINK it's blue... Only a few hours old and still sticky with yolk...but still cute!!

Wasn't sure where to put this post. I hatched this chick yesterday from a breeder. I was just wondering if anyone could take a guess at what color it might be? I thought it was white at first..but it looks off-white in some areas.

Today was beautiful, so I finally got out and took pics of my Cochin chicks. These are just a few..I have 12, 2 roosters and 10 pullets. Not sure if this chick is Mottled or not, but it's my favorite!

I ordered 20 Silkie chicks from Ideal recently..and one of them keeps having to have it's eyes cleaned to open them. It's like a gooey substance that keeps coming back and sealing it's eyes shut. I clean them with warm water and a q-tip, then put a bit of VetRx on them, and the chick can finally...

I'm expecting eggs soon from my 20-22wk old Barred Rock pullets, and I decided I'd worm them. Today I was filling up the containers for worming, and realized one of my Barred pullets was limping..thought she must've hurt her leg when she flew over the coop in a gap. Just short of 10 minutes she...

The chicks arrived this morning at a friends house, we ordered together and they were shipped to her. I ordered 10 white Silkies and 10 Buff Silkies. Was disappointed that 2 are obviously NOT Buff..what do you think? They actually sent 3 that look like reds to me, but my friend traded one for...

My 5 yr old picked this out of a box of Black Australorp chicks, I got the Australorps, and he wanted this one. The lady couldn't tell me what it was. Just curious, I suppose it could be a mix as well. Either way, my 5 yr old is happy :-) BTW..I know it looks a little woozy in the pic, but it...

So i've had ants kill all 20 or so of my Button Quail, only one survived and he was covered in ants. I tried DE, and it had no effect on the ants. They're getting in the Cockatiel food dishes, and the birds are so scared to go eat. I hung the feeders, and they still managed to get to it! Good...

We just recently got back home from a fishing trip, we'd been gone since 5am. I have my broody Silkies in an open pen with their little cabin. There is no top on the pen. I came back to find one of the females gone, and 2 chicks. I found feathers in a circle nearby (just one feather inside the...

I know that's an impossible question to ask, so I'm just looking for insight and opinions We've lived here for about a month and a 1/2 now..we're on 1.5 acres in a rural area about 4 miles outside of city limits. We have a creek that runs behind our house, lots of trees to the back and the...

I had a Polish chick I had to help out of the egg last night with a bent neck. He's viewing the world from upside down. He's very alert, but I'm not sure how he'll eat. He also has curled toes on one foot. I know the curled toes can be corrected, but what about the bent neck? I tried, and I CAN...
