    Slow Growing Chicks

    Hi, I am in need of some help. I originally hatched three pekin chicks from my hen. They are now nearly two months old and two of them have barely grown. They have been given chick crumbs etc as usual and I’ve never had problems like this. One of the chicks however was a lot bigger than the...

    It's day 22 internally pipped but no movement !! Plz help asap

    I would give it another day, I think interfering with the hatch can cause a lot more damage. If it’s not chirping or moving there’s a chance it might not have made it already or it could just be resting.

    It's day 22 internally pipped but no movement !! Plz help asap

    Hi, what type of egg is it? It usually takes around 24 hours to go from internal to external pip. I would give it another 24 hours and see if anything happens. Can u hear any peeping or anything?

    Cracked Goose Egg, Any Advice?

    Are my Silkies pure?

    The breeder only sells pure silkie eggs. I asked for 6 red silkie eggs but she may have slipped a gold an Partridge egg in there due the low eggs produced. It makes more sense now as I was pretty sure the darker one was not a red silkie however time may tell. Thank you for your help I understand...

    Are my Silkies pure?

    I had a feeling it wasn't until they got a bit older as I have another batch which are pure and are not blue yet. I had just read on previous threads that they would be blue but that must be until they are older. IT was more the lighter skin on my red silkie I was wondering about.

    Chicken seem scared of me

    Some chickens might just not like being picked up. I would try seeing if you can hand feed them a bit and maybe start to stroke them when they get close get them use to you again?
