does anyone have any picture of a Rhode island red rooster +Black sex link hen chicks?I have 2 new hatched and on is black and the other is a blondish gold color.
ok I helped but it was dead :( but the other 3 are piping now so now I know to help them out when they zip and get get out.thanks for the help. I hope the rest make if not I have a Hen on 10 eggs as well.
yes temp read perfect and humidity is perfect as well.it zipped this morning after it piped and was chirping very loud but then it just stopped 6 hours ago
I have a chick that pip and zipped this morning and was chirping ,but it still has not hatched and has not moved or chirped for hours!! is it dead or resting!!! other eggs have not pip yet and its day 22.
He is a Rhode Island Red and she is a black sex link,and another thing is he will try and ride her when she is off the nest. lol, and she puffs up like a turkey at him.
Will a Rooster kill new born chicks?My hen is sitting on 10 eggs,and shares her coop with the daddy Rooster a. I have been worried if he will try to kill them once they are born? He also free roams during the day time and locked up with her at night.any tips will be great!
I have a small 7 Egg Mini Incubator and have to hand turn the eggs.my question is on how to turn them.the eggs set upright in the incubator(not on there sides)do I flip them top to bottom or just tilt them from side to side a bit?
guess I can ask a new question to this post.ok I have 2 older game hen and today I got a 7 week old RIR roo ,I tried to add him in with the hens, and thay jumped on him so I took him back out and added him to a smaller pen...so how can I get them to stop attacking him?maybe wait til he is older...
