i have four crele old english game bantam chicks who are about a week and a half old. i ordered from a hatchery and all of the chicks died but five of them... these four and a golden duckwing. i have been wanting a boy really badly, because my last rooster, who passed away in november, was an...

my oegb's arrived in the mail today. i ordered spangled, crele, and golden duckwing. i'm curious to know which babies are what color, because there are more than three patterns than i can clearly see, so i'm not sure what exactly i have. i have only one of these some of these and these...

i really have no idea what it is... it was bright red and squishy before, and i could see some veins in it... it's dried now and the baby is okay, which is a good sign, right?

I have too many roosters, so I'm trying to get rid of one of my Silkies... His name is Peewee, and he's a little sweetheart. He gets along with other roosters well. He's 9 months old, and just started crowing. He'll make a great pet or breeder. I live in the East Bay Area, so if you're...

i have a splash silkie rooster, and i think this may be his offspring... the other (fertile) roosters that i have are: dark brahma sl polish white crested black polish easter egger bbr oegb and it came from a white egg but i don't know who laid it. the only white egg layer that i KNOW i...

i have a clutch that is five days late for their hatch date. one hatched today, and the other four eggs are totally boring. no pipping, peeping, nothing. i saw one that was cracking just a little bit, and i've read that if chicks are late, they could be growing weak... so i looked up how to help...

yesterday i picked up my polish rooster to give him some attention. i usually brush his feathers out of his face to look into his big, brown eyes, but when i did, i saw a foxtail sticking out of one of them. his eye was shut, and the area surrounding his eye was watery and sort of bloody. he...

i have a dark brahma rooster who just turned one year old in april. he used to be very aggressive, but after disciplining him, he settled down and became very gentle and docile. recently, he's been attacking my bantam roosters, who are ALL very calm, quiet, and non-threatening. he used to get...

i separated my breeding hens and rooster from the rest of my flock for a week, as i was told to, and today i was going to begin stockpiling eggs for my broody hen, who is a buff orpington. (the bigger the better, right? lol) anyway, someone let them out, so now i cannot. i have one egg from...

i have no idea what this little guy is made up of exactly, if anybody has any clue, please let me know! also, does he look like he's worth breeding? for colored eggs, not for show, of course. i don't know who the parents were, but i know he came from a colored egg. thanks!!

the other day, i noticed some pale, VERY small bugs crawling all over my dark brahma rooster, deebs's face. i suspect they may be mites, but i have never had any of my birds get infested with any sort of bugs before, so i don't know... no one else has them. i've checked everyone. and i check on...

we are thinking of getting goats this spring, for milk. i have no idea what i'm doing so i would like some insight as to how expensive this all should be, and what kind or how many goats we should get. there are only 3 of us, so i was thinking one male and one female would probably be...

So, I would like to know what you guys think about these two, I dont know anything about silkies... So, boys, girls, or too early to tell? Callow: Truffle:

i have a (approx.) five week old silkie chick who isn't feathering out at all. he only has feathers on his wings and a few popping out on his tail. my other silkies of the same age have almost all of their feathers and aren't nearly as small as him so i'm getting a little concerned. i took a...

so i would like to know the gender of these two here: garuru (L) and sneaker (R) this picture was taken a little over a week ago, but not much has changed, really. garuru's hair has gotten a bit taller, and sneaker's has gotten all around bigger, but the shape has stayed basically the same...

we have a broody hen who hatched one of her five eggs four days ago, and now to care for the chick, she keeps getting off of her eggs for... a while at a time. I don't know how long, but the eggs are cold when we find her. we always set her back on the eggs, and she stays with them, so she is...

hi all! our banty hen, dandelion went broody a few weeks ago, and we decided that we should just let her sit on some eggs and see what happens. i honestly thought that since she was so small and not covering the eggs quite enough, we wouldn't get any to hatch. we were actually going to try...

so, i'm wondering about the gender of these birds, and i have a few other questions as well. this polish mix, i have always suspected to be a male. his name is leo. but recently i have been wondering if he may be a leah, because his crest is still very small and rounded. he's about 12 weeks old...

so i'm a first time polish owner, and i picked two polishes out of a randomly assorted polish bin, a few weeks ago, not knowing what they would turn out to be. well, i was hoping for at least one of them to be one of the laced varieties (chickens with lacing are my favorite), and well, it so...

i bought some chicks at the feed supply, and the man told me what i had were two "golden laced" ... he didn't tell me what. i'm thinking one is a glw, but the other i'm not sure of. it looks similar, but pretty different. chick #1: its got stripes on its back that you can't see, also. chick...
