Baby silkies 4-5 weeks ! Available near Angier, NC.

Well, my Lucky duck (I had to help her hatch bc she had pipped at the wrong end a while back)... She decided she wanted to become a momma and kept sitting on her eggs. Her eggs never wound up being fertile (yes, I have a male duck and water for them to mate). So, I decided to give her some...

Has anyone repaired a cracked egg with candle wax? If so, what did you do at hatch time? Leave the wax on and hope the chicken comes through okay? Pick off the wax? Anyone have any experience? The egg is wiggling, but haven’t seen a pip yet. Hoping I will be able to see it through the wax. I...

My fiancé saw my girl was limping, so we brought her inside to see what was going on and she lost a toe nail. She wouldn’t stand on it at all. I’ve brought her inside, have her a bath to clean it and am drying her now. What do I need to do? Just keep an eye on it ? There was no bleeding. She...

So, my cousin, the one that got me into chickens to start with, just found out that her whole flock has a disease and will probably have to euthanize her whole flock. I am super upset about that for her. BUT, my silkie girls started laying about a month and a half ago.... so, I figured I would...

Soooooooooooo! I am almost 100% positive I have a SILKIE EGG! My first baby Silkie eggggg! I am ecstatic!

I know this egg is a bit too dark to be a silkie egg, I’ve seen that they are more off white than anything. I was really very hopeful, but has anyone had any tan-ish silky eggs before? I have been anticipating their eggs forever now 😂 they’re only 7.5 months, so I know I still have time. When...

My girl just laid her first egg today! I couldn’t be more proud. 🥰❤️ Lucky duck has come a long way from being stuck in her little egg while hatching!

My first blue egg you guys! I think it’s safe to say my girl is a true Ameraucana. ❤️

When did your ameraucana first start laying?

I finally got my first egg from my chicken 3 days ago! It was absolutely amazing! She has laid an egg a day since. I was actually able to witness her laying today and she did so in the nesting box! She is a golden Wyandotte. I have 9 more girls that have yet to lay. 2 are silkies and I know they...

So, if anyone remembers my post from April, I had a little duckling hatch at the wrong end. Well, they are now 4 months old & today we’ve had a Rouen wedding. 🥰 Aren’t they just precious ❤️

So, the day before yesterday, I had a friend over and I was doing her nails. She has 3 daughters and two of them wanted to play with the chickens. I have a variety of 3.5 & 4 month old chickens, so I didn’t think anything of it. Next thing you know, her youngest (3) is carrying around my...

Hellllo! So, does anyone know how to sex sucks without hearing them? I can’t get my Lucky duck to make a sounds while I’m recording. I do know that my Mighty Duck is a drake. He has the cig smoker quack and the little boy tail 🤣 I am leaning toward the other being female bc they look a bit...

Hello, I am new here and new to hatching chicks/ducks. I just recently hatched 7 of my 10 chick eggs (3 stopped developing sometime so threw them out on day 18) and 1 of my 2 duck eggs. Well, my last little duck egg has pipped at the wrong end. It pipped a day ago. I read that if they do the...
