I have a purple spalding peachick, about 9 weeks old. I do not know the gender, but I am wondering what color I should look for in a potential mate. So far the guesses are that it is a male, with the caveat that it is still too early to really know. -the one on the right.

I know it is early, but I am just learning. I am looking for what gender you think the chick is and why. The breeder/hatcher has been showing me different things as they grow and I thought that other may have different tips/tricks/signs. Yellow: Bronze Black Shoulder Breeder thinks hen...

I have a 3 1/2 week turkey poult with a swollen/protruding eye. I examined it, the best I could, and it appears that the eyeball itself is swollen. I was unable to pull the lid down and take a picture at the same time. But it can open the lid. There was a little discharge, but I cleaned it...

What can I do for this poult? I have her isolated right now and applied vetericyn to the area.

Speedy is my white polish chick. I think technically she is a splash, but she is mainly white. Everything about her personality says pullet, but I noticed her waddles.... What do y'all think?

Any idea what these chicks are? They hatched out of tan eggs. I know they are not the best pictures.

I have a chick hatched on April 1st that I am pretty sure is evil. When I go to the brooder shed, this chick starts pacing. When I put my hand in to feed or water, the chick jumps in my hand and bites me. Has anyone else had a super aggressive chick? I am guessing it as a cockerell 🤷‍♀️...

I am getting 6 turkey eggs mailed to me. I jabe my incubator started up, and I should get the eggs mid-next week. This is my first time incubating turkey eggs - they are chocolate heritage, not sure if that matters. Any tips on hatching shipped eggs? Any tips on hatching turkey eggs in...

I have a broody hen that has been laying on eggs. She has been off of the eggs for a few hours and one egg is pipped. It is +/- 90 degrees outside. I hoved the pipped egg to an incubator. How long should I wait before moving the others?

I have some chicks that are about 5 weeks old. I am curious and impatient about what sex they are. Any guesses? First up is Speedy, a Splash Polish. Next is Dumpling, a Black Copper Maran (we think a cockerell) Lucky Ducky, hatched out of a light blue egg. (We think pullet) Moonie, a...

What diseases can be transmitted to chicks before they hatch? You pick up hatching eggs 🥚 and incubate them in a clean and secure environment. Then when they hatch 🐣 you move them to a clean and secure brooder (indoors, away from other birds). Is it possible that the chicks 🐥 could have a...

Some men bring their wives flowers or chocolate. My husband brings me an injured peafowl that he found. So now I have a young peababy (hatched this year) that up until today has been walking normal. The peafowl flock lives at my husband's work and have always been healthy. Today he noticed...

I have a Prairie Bluebell Egger that is of laying age. She looks like a Cream Legbar, but with a bigger head poof. Anyways, she has twice been in the cat house and each time I found an egg that is tan. It isn't as small as a normal first (or second), but I have not seen anyone in the cat...

I was gone over the weekend and discovered 2 of my pullets became hens while I was gone. The two light green ones on the left are from a veteran layer and so is the egg all the way on the right. The 4 middle ones are from the new layers. I think my barred rock is one of the new layers, but...

I have a 14 week old Speckled Sussex that is tiny. Is there such a thing as dwarfism in chickens? She was the same size as all of the other chicks when I first got her. She is active and runs around with all of the other chickens.

I have 3 necked neck chickens, one adult hens, and 2 juveniles (I think one of each sex). My adult hens had one sore that healed. My two juveniles still look gross and I honestly don't know if they are getting better or worse. The pullet hangs back, she is the furthest from the camera in the...

I have a hen that looks a little rough and has one eye completely closed and the other mostly closed. Up until this morning, she has been acting completely normal. I can't tell you about her egg production because she is one of the ones that likes to find hiding spots for her eggs. 🤦‍♀️ My...

My feed store has 8 week old straight run blue and splash Americauna chicks. Any tips on how to sex them? I am going Friday and, if they still have the chicks, would be interested in a pullet. Thanks!!!!
