Hi
I have an australop who has given me beautiful large eggs up until recently. The last two days it has laid eggs that look like they have cracked in the process of making the shell. One of them even looks like the yolk inside it too big for the shell and has stretched it out (pics attached)...
Hi there
I have 3 black silkies (maybe crosses) which are approx. 8 weeks. I think I might have one girl and two boys, can you help confirm?
I think the one with the gold neck feather is a girl (first photo right), and the other two the one with black and white neck feathers and the one...
Hi all
Its been a few weeks now and I'm still trying to figure it out.
I'm still thinking the gold laced wyndotte (now 7 weeks) and lAracauna (mix - now 5 weeks) are girls, but look at that huge pinkish comb and wattle on the Buff Pekin (now 5 weeks), me thinks it might be a boy ??

Hi all
So just reading this thread, I think one of my chicks (2 weeks) has a full crop (it was there last night and this morning), not necessarily from being a piggy and eating too much feed but I have wood shavings in their brooder and I suspect it has been chowing down on that.
I guess the...
Hi, was just wonder if someone could confirm whether they think my 5 week old Australorp is a girl?
I bought her from a fodder store (who were selling them as sexed females), but over the last week I've been looking at that comb, thinking that It was getting big compared to what I've seen...
