    8 week old blue laced red Wyandotte roo?

    I have an eight week old blue laced red Wyandotte who I believed to be a cockerel for the longest time. He/she has a bright comb, wattles, and pointed hackle feathers. However, recently I have been looking at pics of male blrw at about the same age and they’re much more developed than this guy...

    5 1/2 week old buff Orpington gender?

    The comb looks significantly less red outside but when I pick it up it gets nervous and it’s comb begins pinking up more.

    5 1/2 week old buff Orpington gender?

    I have a buff Orpington who is about 5 1/2-6 weeks old and I am unsure about the gender. Because of the red and developed comb/wattles I am guessing cockerel but just wanted to hear what other people thought.

    One out of 13

    If you have any tweezers or something that can pick little pieces of shell off carefully then I would suggest using that. Also I would wrap the eggs in a warm, moist towel when opening them. Just remember that if you see blood just stop peeling away the shell, however losing a little bit of...

    Blue laced red Wyandotte?

    Thanks. I was pretty sure it wasn’t but it doesn’t look like it would have come out of any of the other roosters besides the BLR. I heard that when breeding them only half turn out to be the true BLR coloring. What do the other chicks look like?

    Blue laced red Wyandotte?

    I have this chick that hatched yesterday out of a blue laced red Wyandotte egg. However I don’t know if it is the right color to be a blue laced red. I have a blue laced red rooster, a Maran/turken cross rooster who’s black and red, and a polish/d’uccle/buttercup cross rooster who’s white. Does...

In my chicken flock my breeds of roosters are a blue laced red Wyandotte, a Maran/Turken cross, a Mille fleur/polish/buttercup cross, and a Mille fleur d’uccle. Some of the breeds of hens...

    New duckling can’t raise head

    Last night I put another duckling in the incubator with “Little Quack” as I've decided to call it to keep him company. This morning they are doing very well together and Little Quack is following the other duckling around. Still wobbly but getting much better. Most of the time he can flip...

    New duckling can’t raise head

    Just an update- the little duckling seemed to be getting weaker and weaker throughout the day despite feeding and watering every hour or so. It got to the point where I could hold it on its back to syringe feed it and it wouldn’t even struggle to flip over. It had no control of its neck...

    A little story of the "Miracle Chick" Buff from incubation.

    I had something similar happen. My broody hen left her eggs two days before hey we’re going to hatch. I didn’t break them open until 4 days later. Thinking they were dead, I cracked open the eggs (not carefully at all). The first three were dead but when I opened the last one a little...

    New duckling can’t raise head

    It can’t really eat on its own because it doesn’t have control of its head but when i put its beak in the bowl of mashed up food it kind of tries to nibble at it. Not sure if it actually gets any into its bill. I have been feeding it mashed up flock raiser started with the electrolyte water...

    broody duck

    My only worry is if you have a pond, when the chicks hatch they might try to follow her in.

    New duckling can’t raise head

    The duckling is still the same. When he tries to lift his head he falls over onto his back and can’t roll over. I put him in a bowl so that he has room to move around but not flip over and waste too much energy trying to get on his feet. I have two more duckling that I had to assist in the...

    New duckling can’t raise head

    I have an Australian spotted bantam duck hen sitting on eight eggs. On day 26 when the ducklings were supposed to hatch, I found one pipped egg. On day 27 there were no more pips so I decided to bring in the egg that had been pipped for 24 hours into the incubator where I proceeded to carefully...
