I have an adult copper maran roo that we're letting free roam because we needed the space for some chicks we hatched about a month or two ago and he usually just sits in a shady spot under a canopy we have set up but everytime I go out there he charges at me and puffs up but never actually tries...
We hatched some baby ayam cemani chicks about a month ago and I came home and saw one unable to move and was very lethargic. I took it out and gave it a bowl of water and it wouldn't stop drinking! I filled their water the day before so there was still water on there but this one was very...
I hatched some ayam cemanis and the fourth one that had hatched can't walk or hold it's head up and it hatched naturally so I would expect it to be able to do so. I gave it a couple of minutes because he had just hatched but it's been about 40 minutes or so and he still can't hold his head up...
So i hatched some ayam cemanis and the 4th one hatched and can't walk or hold it's head up. It hatched on it's own so I would expect it to be able to do so and his neck is In the curled position like it was in the egg. Is there anything I could do to help it?
So I'm trying an experiment and trying to find out new ways to incubate and possibly an hatch an egg. I've got a class container with damp paper towels, a thermometer. I'm heating it right now with a heat lamp and Im covering it with thin fabric and mesh to allow oxygen but to prevent humidity...
When I came out I saw one of the chickens dead and my rooster laying next to it (it was his brother) and he wouldn't move when I came to get him and so I had to pick him up and move him so I could get the other dead rooster. Now he's being pretty lethargic, not eating, and not interacting with...
Earlier I had found one of my biggest roos that I had hatched dead in the coop they sleep in. His body was brick hard but his head was limp and was green for some reason which I'm thinking decay set it. I have no idea how long he had been there (probably 1-3 days) and the body had a slight...
So it's currently 1:10am and I was laying in bed and because I keep my quail in a hamster cage in the dresser next to a cage with my two other birds( they aren't quails) and I hear this warble-ish noise that scares the life out of me. The quail is around 3-4 weeks old I lost exactly how old he...
This morning I went out to go feed me chickens like I do every morning and I have two separate cages and I saw that the cage next to the chickens we had hatched our own, the water was already low so I had went into their coop to fill it but when I looked at the side of the coop I saw our only...
I recently hatched a batch of quails ( both celadon and coturnix quails) and I took a liking to this celadon quail and wanted to keep it. It is 2 1/2 weeks old right now and I wanted to know the gender. I'm okay if he's a male I would prefer a hen though.
So I have an ayam cemani rooster that has been acting very odd. Ex. Cocking his head frequently, bubbling coming from mouth, sneezing, etc. He also has a very large bulge on his throat and is losing a lot of weight and whenever he starts bubbling up near his mouth it sounds sort of raspy and...
When I go out to my chickens, there is always this one hen that crouches down whenever I near her. I have 2 roos but none of them are willing to mate with her and whenever I go to pick up my other hens, none of them do the same thing. I'm not sure if it's the breed or if she just knows I'm about...
So I inherited chickens earlier this year so I wasn't really sure on some of the breeds of chickens but, I'm really curious about this breed. Does anyone know any possible breeds or the breed that it is? Or if it's a mix?
(Sorry about the blurry pictures I broke my camera a while ago)...
