    Baby chick born with a bubble on its eye

    It's the same eye in both pictures, the other eye is completely normal. They're a polish chick so deformed skull is part and parcel of the breed haha. The 'comb' I think you're referring to are the nostrils of the chick (also supposed to be enormous in polish), as you can't really see the comb...

    Baby chick born with a bubble on its eye

    I have just hatched a polish chick with what appears to be a bubble on one of its eyes. The other eye is perfectly fine. Has anyone seen this before?

    Polish chicken genetics... again!

    Hey folks, I'm new to chicken genetics and am trying to wrap my head around all the different genes that influence a chicken's colour! I know there are a handful of posts already in regards to breeding buff laced polish and gold laced polish together. Based on this post...

    Chook with Marek's?

    Just a quick update on this! I ended up feeding my chook half a tablet of Nature's Own B12 1000mcg per day and she was good as new in about a week! Popped her back in with the rest of the flock and she promptly pecked everyone on the head and re-established herself as top of the pecking order...

    Chook with Marek's?

    I'm not too sure on her age as I got her from a high school and they weren't sure on her age either. She did/does walk on her hocks. She's just been getting some layer mash. I tried to give them pellets but they were ultra picky and didn't eat for a week

    Amazing, this I can deal with! Do I just use human grade vitamins? Thanks!

    Chook with Marek's?

    Hi folks! I've had one chook come down with some form of paralysis. She's happy enough and is still eating, hasn't lost weight, etc. but has curled feet and falls over and lies on one side. I've given her some water with electrolytes and vitamins but haven't seen any visible improvement. She's...

    Chicken egg non-starters

    Hi all! Would love to hear your thoughts on my little predicament. I recently purchased and picked up two dozen BL polish and seven French wheaten marans eggs (two separate sellers). The BL polish eggs were dated between 24/12 and 31/12 and I picked them up on 05/01 and started incubating on...

    Does Rooster or Hen determine gender?

    In birds, it's the female that will determine the sex of the offspring and in most mammals, the male will determine the sex. Fish, insects, and reptiles are a bit more complex!

    Working with the yellow box of death

    Yay so glad to hear you've had success with the same incubator!! I'll give a new batch another crack! Was feeling a bit apprehensive about potentially subjecting another batch to certain death :/ will let you know how I go :)

    Working with the yellow box of death

    Hi everyone! I've recently incubated my first/second batches of eggs but wanted to do a bit of troubleshooting/verification around my process and see if the deaths I got was user or seller error. I purchased 6 French wheaten maran chicks and began incubating them in a Janoel 12 borrowed from a...
