    Yolk sac?? Found a live chick in a 'dud" egg! *PIC*

    It's all dried up this morning and the chick is alert. However, there is still a red ball on the outside of the abdomen.....is this normal or is this part of the chicks insides that are stuck outside? Has anyone had a chick like this survive?

    Lonely chick

    We've had this happen before. I went to a store a bought a friend so it wouldn't be lonely....or did I buy 4 friends? Snuck it under mamas belly and wa-lah! Or you could give it to someone who has day old chicks

    Yolk sac?? Found a live chick in a 'dud" egg! *PIC*

    I was getting rid of the "dud" eggs from a hatch today and to my surprise found this chick in one of the eggs. (All others were undeveloped) I left the bottom half of the shell with him and stuck him back under mom but the 2 times I've gone out to check on him, he is buried under her in the...

    3-4 month old Silkie gender

    I know they are hard to sex but maybe someone who has more experience than me could help. Plus these guys are a little older so I thought maybe it was possible to tell I have one (not pictured) that is clearly a roo already but the rest I can't tell!

    3-4 month old Silkie gender

    I'm selling some of our silkies today. The first one I'm pretty sure is a hen. #2 and 3 my husband wants to keep one of them because they have a white beak - I think they might both be roos though. If they look like they could be then I will add them to the sell pen! Thank you!! #1 #2 #3

    Chicken Feeders

    As far as a goat proof feeder- we never found one. We had to leave the goats locked up while the chickens were being fed but then we weren't sure if everyone was eating. We moved the food into the coop and made the door just big enough for the chickens to get it - which was REALLY tricky because...

    this one has me confused! adults and chicks killed

    Cetawin- No offense taken! We've used hardwire cloth for everything else - these little guys do have a coop to go into but they hadn't learned how to go up the ramp. My husband had been going out every night and moving mama and chicks into the coop with the older chicks but when he went out this...

    this one has me confused! adults and chicks killed

    Nope! I double....triple checked all the wiring because I fully expected to find a break in it once I saw the chicks gone. None of the chicks were left behind or any remnants (they were only one bite) and I checked the yard in case the creature dragged some away but didn't find any bodies.

    this one has me confused! adults and chicks killed

    Sorry about those little chickies of yours. We live in the desert so I don't think it could be weasels. I have never seen a racoon here either. Coyotes, ravens, and hawks have been our biggest threat but I'm not seeing how this one is any of those 3? It seems more likely that a human chick...

    this one has me confused! adults and chicks killed

    We lost 2 birds last night/this morning plus 8 chicks. These 2 likely came out of the coop early in the morning before I got out there so they were exposed to predators(everyone else was still in the run unhurt and we will be fixing that gap today) bird #1 Teenage SLW completely eaten except for...

    Sex of White Leghorn

    Our leghorns showed very early who was what. The rooster's comb took off like crazy even when it was still yellow then turned red. Here are pictures of mine - I can't remember their age here but they are not fully feathered so pretty young. If you post pictures then we can tell you more clearly...

    New Hampshire or something else

    She is really pretty! I she is a red mix Does that mean she is technically a production red? I guess I need to look up what makes a production red, a PR!
