    Bantam cockerels need new homes Durham, NC

    I assumed rooster because of the saddle feather and more vertical position. But maybe not? The crest is pretty hen like? What do you think?

    Chick with overgrown beak

    As of right now the this chick does not have scissor beak. Although, one of my concerns is that because the beak is longer it might get scissor beak in the future.

    Chick with overgrown beak

    Hi everyone. I have a 3 week-old chick whose top beak seems overgrown. I'm worried that this will cause issues with eating. It hatched late and has always been smaller than the others so I don't want it to get even more behind. What do you think I should do? I tried to file it down with a nail...

    Hatching with a broody.

    Ok so I managed to help chick #9 get out. It was mostly out of the egg. However, mama was showing the other chicks how to scratch and throwing bedding everywhere so I didn't want it to get buried. The hardest part was getting the membrane off of the chick. I tried dabbing it with warm water, I'm...
