Pearl is pushing two years old this year, she has already hatched 4 clutches of baby chickens. This year she decided to first lay 16 eggs in the dead of winter during a "cold snap" that we had in Georgia. All of the babies died while hatching :( I felt bad for her, so a shoved a few chicken eggs...

As some who read these boards know, Pearl, my hen hatch 10 chickens and 3 turkeys out. 1 chick and 2 of the turkeys did not make it She did this in stages: 1 turkey poult the weekend of June 11 which died. I was then gone for 10 days, but my better half said he did not see any more, but then he...

Pearl hatched out a total of 5 surviving chicks, 1 is her own turkey chick, the other 4 are chickens. I took them all away from her last week, so that the remaining chicken eggs, which I wasn't sure when they hatch, had a chance at hatching. Today, it appears those eggs are hatching as well. So...

This is Pearl: On her nest And this is Reggie: He looked sooooo much better until about a month ago, when he decided to go visit my catahoula dog, who is chained up FAR away from the bird free range area. Stupid turkey. This was a baby from the first clutch of eggs the had (had...

My turkey, Pearl, had decided to go broody in the woods and was mauled by some unknown creature. (She survived but with most of her scalp gone, though now she is back to almost normal) Since I could not find her nest, I put 9 chicken eggs with the 4 turkey eggs she later laid. Last week one...

I have a serious bad habit of picking out only the darn ones that grow up to be roosters. I bought 9 polish chicks from a straight run at the feed store in the about the 10th of February. This is the first batch as I have about 10 more babies, but they are younger than these guys. One pullet is...

This is De'Ville. I am still not sure if it is going to be a roo or a hen yet. I keep thinking that it may be a hen, as all the feathers are round and not pointy. Thank you for any opinions

I have 6 - 8 week old EE's and 15 - 4 week old bantams that currently live in the house and are on medicated chick starter. I was curious as to what else they can eat without access to grit? Thanks for the help Crickett

This is the only one out of the 15 assorted, that I have no clue what it could be He is about three weeks old. He is not the same color as the two other black cochin babies (they are black with white on their chest) Is he even a cochin to begin with? and if so, what color? I have stared and...

I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. With the impending snow/sleet/ice storm due to hit us tonight, I am worried about losing power for several days. Not worried for me, but for the 15 baby bantam chick and the 6 EE bigger babies that I have in the house. The bantam babies are about 3...

He belongs to a friend.

Ok, thank goodness I can now say I finished buying out of that assorted bantam bin at the feed store!!! I have bought one of everything they had in there, and two of some, so I have 10. Two I know are Silkies (one white, one black) One is a Silver Sebright per previous post One is a Gold...

I really need to start avoiding this place.... This one has feathered feet it has a clean butt now, didn't in the picture though Thanks

I know they are too young to tell the gender yet, but maybe the breed? They were just listed as "assorted bantams" at the local feed store. The little brown one looks like a chickadee bird They are about 2 weeks old now One in the middle is suppose to be a Silkie, and the same age as...

I have had these 6 chicks since they were about 2 weeks old (brought them home 10-28) inside the house. I had to separate them about a month ago, due to to size differences, and cage space. Two are ee's, one RIR, 2 chochins and one Houdan. I really need to get all 6 out of the house as I have 6...

If you feed baby chicks medicated chick feed, are you suppose to add grit or sand for them to eat as well???

My little polish chick, Bowie, is not acting right. He was sitting just hunched over, now he is laying down pecking at the bottom of the tub. I put him back in with the 2 tiny tiny babies for warmth, since he looked like was shivering. least now he is moving (not walking) where as before he was...

What would cause my normal acting barred rock hen to go absolutely nutso, when I introduced a turken hen to the flock? It was worse than a rooster fight. Ms Henny Penny ripped into this bird and blood was apparent. Couldn't find an injury on the turken nor Ms Henny Penny. It was right at dusk...

I have 4 birds fully feathered, all over about 5 to 6 months, that I bought from the feed store, they had been inside there. I have had them for a week inside, now I NEED to move them to an outside holding, wire, extra large (golden retriever sized) dog crate. (too big to bring inside) I have...

I bought these three peeps today....of course the feed store states "Araucana lays blue eggs"..... (cough cough...they really need an eye roll smiley) Any how... curious as to when they get the slate colored legs? These guys all look like they have pinkish white legs......but then they are also...
