    Any clue of sex of these 6 week old chicks?!

    We have somehow ended up with 11 chicks at 6 week old and 2 sneaky broodies just hatched 5 more and now we have another broody 🙈. Anyway here is some pics of some of the 6 wk olds...I know one is a female cream legbar. The others are likely cream legbar mixes (2 x legbar roosters) or potentially...

    Can 4 week old chicks be integrated with mumma hen and her chicks?

    Thanks! This is what we thought. But thought I would ask. We also have 2 more broodies and 12 grown hens - so currently have them all over the place - was hoping to amalgamate! 😬🤪

    Can 4 week old chicks be integrated with mumma hen and her chicks?

    Thanks. Currently she is in a large crate but I dont think thats big enough then. She will just have to get moved out to our little coop and the chicks put in the crate. Running outta space!

    Cream Legbar Hybrid?

    Very like our Legbar x Maran, as they got bigger they got more brown and the punk hair - nice birds 😁

    Can 4 week old chicks be integrated with mumma hen and her chicks?

    We have 7 4wk old chicks which were incubator hatched and then a mumma hen who hatched 4 herself at the same time. Can the bator chicks be put in with the mumma and her 4 or would she attack them?

    Is this 3 day old chick's hip out

    hi all This chick was the last to hatch and about a day late, is a cream legbar and a lot bigger than the others we hatched. She had splayed legs so we splinted and they have come in really well from about 180° to almost normal. But we think one of her hips looks wrong and she isnt really trying...

    Does this membrane look dry?

    I put about 150ml of water in - via a bendy straw and a syringe - one of the outer bigger rings is filled. I can try and fill one of the inner rings but is going to be tricky as the vent holes are at the outside edge...

    Great ok thanks. Is it ok to open and top up the water with the 2 chicks hatched in there?

    Does this membrane look dry?

    I dont - this is the second time hatching, but everything I read says UK and still air bator means the humidity will be fine is this not true! 😕 we have 2 chicks hatched and 2 more about to come just this one struggling.

    Does this membrane look dry?

    Thank you. We are in the UK and using a still air incubator so havent been too worried about humidity as all the resources I can fine say the ambient humidity is about right. We do have one of the rings filled with water. I will but a humidity measure the next time we hatch though!

    Does this membrane look dry?

    On day 22 of a hatch in a still air brinsea incubator. 2 eggs have hatched but the one that looked to pip first isn't progressing - a small strip of the membrane looks dry but the rest looks fine - does this chick need help? Hard to see as viewing window is not v clear.

    Just came across this thread - I have just hatched some chicks from cuckoo maran hen and cream legbar roo - will these be different colours for male/female chicks? I hadnt realised the cuckoo maran has this trait. Thanks in advance!!

    Cream Legbar Crosses..

    Thank you so much! We have some cream legbar eggs hatching now - hopefully!! They seem slow so a little concerned. Most of the chick are black or a very dark grey some have yellow on tips of their wings will be interesting to see what they grow into. A Bluebelle is a hybrid yes and I think...
