Anyone have any idea if my sweetgrass turkey is a hen or Tom? About 8 weeks old

I think you may be right, hopefully that was the problem. I looked at the bag when I got home and the date on the bag was 19 months ago. June 2015. Switched it all out with new feed with a November 2016 date. I added some save a chic electrolytes and probiotics in the water last night, they...

The 2 picks are of the same chick, it's about 5 weeks old, Easter egger. I never thought about the food, I've been trying to think of everything I changed. I bought it maybe 2 weeks ago, about a week before they started dying. I'll have to check the date when I get home. I keep it stored in...

The lice have been gotten rid of. Temp under the lamp is 82, not sure what it is on the other side. It's a 4'x3' brooder. I have the side where the lamp is with wood on that side, the other side is chicken wire so it'll be cool. Wire top and bottom as well. The pads aren't scented, and I...

I've got a problem and I can't seem to figure out what it is. I had 13 chicks, 3 weeks old, out in the brooder along with two 5 week old chicks. About a week ago I looked in the morning and 2 were dead. Didn't really think anything about it because I know things happen, but then I'd have 1...

I got lucky and went to go get a couple from a lady in Durham NC, and she had a whole variety of different kinds that were about to go past a week old, so she ended up just giving me majority of them. I got really lucky! I'll definitely be getting more from her at some point

Started off with 21 eggs, had 4 not fertile, all of one kind (Buff orps I believe). 2 had blood lines at some point early on, saw them when I candles at day 7. The other 15 were still kicking when I went in to lockdown. 13 hatched, 2 didn't. I haven't examined them yet. One of them zipped...

That's what I'm hoping! It's been a great mother figure to the little EE I have, only one that hatched out of that batch. I tested them out to see how they'd do together with not high hopes because the silkie was so much older. But they get along great. If I pull the silkie out to hold, the...

I'll try to get one of the crest later

Not sure how soon you can tell with silkies on the sex, but was wondering if anyone may be able to tell mine. It's about 6-7 weeks I believe. If the lady I bought from was accurate (she didn't seem to confident) lol. [/IMG][/IMG]Thanks in advance!

I've got about a 4 week old Silkie in the brooder with 1 newly hatched chick (3 days). (I did a semi dry hatch with lower temp experiment on 6 eggs and only 1 hatched, won't be doing that again). Anyways, the silkie does not like to be handled at all, even though I hold him/her everyday. It...
