We had a full Little Giant incubatator that we moved chicks into for lockdown. Everything was going well, the chicks were noisy all hatched out bouncing around. All looked healthy and just like normal when someone checked them at 4pm. When I got home at 5.15, ALL of them were dead! The...

I just bought my first turkeys! I know nothing about turkey, I was told these are bronze. Is there a way to feel about how old they are?

I purchased this group at an auction 8 weeks ago. They looked to be about 3 to 4 weeks then so that puts them at 3 months now. They were labeled as Australorp, Barred Rock, Sexlink, Rhode Island Red, Brown Leghorn, and Production Red. I assumed when I bought them that they would be mixed gender...

I purchased these 7 chicks at an auction unlabeled. (just thought they were cute!) The first pictueres are the day I bought them. Then the later pics are today 8 weeks later. I thought to start with that they were black copper marans. Now I am not so sure. I assume the red combs are roosters and...
