Only ended up with one chick interestingly enough (usually I have near-perfect hatches). The little guy hatched 2 days before easter.

@casportpony - by pure chance, I may actually be relatively closely aligned with your hatchalong with 3 eggs, but a little early. However, one of the eggs is a tiny bantam - my small bantam eggs usually come out at day 18 (they'll be early) - the other 2 are bantam dad, medium hen... so.... we...

I doubt they would have made it that far. The reason I thought they were duds and didn’t bother incubating them longer is because the air cells were all bad. I’ll let you know how this one little egg does! Maybe I had a fluke batch. Their website says they keep their egg hens away from...

I know this is old, but I put a few vital farms grocery eggs under my hen to get her broody (no intention of trying to hatch but wanted to transfer some incubating eggs under her), and every single one started development. I cracked them all open after transferring them out. Now I’m kinda mad...

I hatched super market quail. On impulse. Then chickens were next after I raised those quail. I did a lot of research first before hatching 3 eggs. One egg hatched and I bought 3 more little chicks to keep her company. Then I hatched out another egg that was a week and a half younger than the...

Okay, he verified that they have a relatively small ayam cemani rooster. Anyone think that could be her dad and that her mom could be the black cochin they have?

I'm hopeful - kicking myself for giving the last lavender one away, and so I'm keeping this one in case

maybe she has a pea comb?

We've got another kicker from the same hen that produces both blue and lavender/porcelain chicks, and I have no idea if it's blue or lavender. Best guesses everyone?

Here is a picture of her today. Her comb is darker than it looks in the photo - the light is shining right on it, it's like a plum colored red.

Your hen looks a lot like Bernard (my hen), but her comb is bigger and redder (Bernard's is Mulberry and smaller) and does she have a rose comb? I ask because Bernard has like a hybrid between a single comb and rose comb. I'll have to get a better pic of her today. Bernard was sold to me as a...

His infection actually resolved. I did not need to inject him luckily. But thank you for the advice, because this could come in handy next time if I need help.

Actually to clarify, she's the small one in the back right? Because my hen is very small. Also, she's a little darker - her comb used to be red when she was younger and I took the first photos, but now it's a charcoal mixed with "mulberry" color. Her wattles are the same. And her ears have...

OMG SHE LOOKS IDENTICAL!

Thank you, and where did you inject her? in the leg?

What dosage did you give you chicken of injectable penicillin and what brand did you buy? I have a rooster who got a comb wound that may be infected, and I would like to start him on an antibiotic. I was looking at VetOne Vetripen G. Any info would be helpful

I wanted to add a couple photos that shocked me. These came out of my silkie mixes. I guess that rooster especially got all the non-silkie genes from his parents!! He looks like a game bird. He’s AT LEAST 1/4 silkie from a lineage perspective (likely a lot more), but he didn’t present any...

JUST FOR FUN (not a partridge project breeder) Just sharing some photos of my silkie/silkie mix chicks that are partridge-ish for fun as babies and some as adults at the end. One of these is a blue cream (lavender base), but the cream/gold is maybe still partridge. (See the first picture, 3rd...

I wanted to add, she must really have a silkie feathered father. She produced a silkie feathered offspring with my silkie roo (I think it was her egg 🤣)

I think she's either mottled or carries mottling and has some leak-through. I have another chick that is solid black with white tipped feathers all over, but very low expression too. Not sure if I just have heritable low expression mottling or carrier leakage. I imagine it'll become clearer...
