There is some green/blue specks on back of neck.

The darker chick looks like it may have some green/blue on the neck.

If parents are IB and IB or IB and BS, is it possible to have a cameo?

I think black shoulder and Blue Indie or Blue Indie/Blue Indie.

I have two chicks approx. 2 months old. Can anyone verify sex? They are more than likely an India Blue/Black Shoulder cross. There also may be some pied genetics. Legg's Genetics indicate IB/BS cross produces all IB. But one chick is much lighter than the other. I have only had black shoulder...

I have a free range hen sitting on a nest, who showed up to eat with a bad leg. Was putting weight on it at first but now the foot is curled under and she isn't putting very much weight on it. Leg doesn't look swollen, foot maybe a little. So not really sure if it's broke or sprained. But as she...

Thanks I have read this link several times….. and I have helped out many chicks…. just always so stressful to decide when. Although the 3 i helped made it and the ones I waited on didn't….so I may have to help…….

I have 7 in the incubator now. The air sacks all look too large, maybe the humidity wasn't high enough? I can see some movement, so must be some inner pipping, and hear some pecking……stressing me out big time. Hatch day isn't until Saturday. But I don't want to lose them either… not sure if I...

I also had two help three out and lost two because I didn't help.

You can also pick her up and if she is very light, it is more than likely worms. You can also try adding safeguard our ivermectin to her drinking water. But straight down her throat is better because u know she gets a good dose.

I've been free ranging my peafowl for several years. I am on 40 acres with about 5 acres in my yard and the rest in fields and woods. I've never had mine wander off the property.my wild turkeys wander far and wide bit not my peas. I do have a fairly long driveway. Mine roost in trees at night...

Thanks for the replies. Its forced air and has a fan. I had a hen hatch a chick so thinking I must be doing something wrong. Aarrgg!

I have been hatching peas for a few years now and the last couple of years has't been successful and I can't figure out why. I have two Lehy redwood cabinet incubators that are very stable. I incubate at 99 and 50% humidity and hatch at 98 and 70%. I am turning several times a day. I have not...

I am having trouble incubating and hatching this year and I can't figure out why. Most of mine are developing right until 3-4 days before hatch, then developing large air sac and not being able to get out. Some have been shrink-wrapped, not quite sure why. The humidity this year is very high and...

Yep. Same here. I now have 5 eggs. I don't have high expectations, but will put them in the incubator and candle after several days to see if any are viable

Mine are laying as well in Northwestern MN. But its very cold and we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground. Not sure how fertile the eggs will be at these temps.

I also free range, every year in the fall say I'm not doing it anymore. Until Spring. Mine have just started laying in their open pens. But it is still cold here (30's) an we have snow on the ground (northwestern MN). I have picked up three eggs, am not sure how much cold the eggs can handle...

thanks for the replies everyone. It makes me feel better. I probably should have left if alone, but wanted to make sure. Drives me crazy when my birds get hurt. Will try to post pic laster tonight.

well, I already took the scab off (it was so thick and hard, I really didn't know if it was a scab or something else), although in hindsite, I probbly should have left it alone. But now it's an open wound. And I am woriried that she will get dirt on it and cause infection? Should I leave the...

I found a wound on my peahen on her breast. It was a large, very hard, brown scab. I soaked it a little and picked off the scab to see what was underneath and to make sure there wasn't infection. It seemed OK. Pink tissue, not a lot of blood. Can't think of what it was from. She didn't seem...
