    Cross beak chick

    Hi, I have a 5 day old chick that I see has a cross beak. It is a BCM/ Ameraucana but probably as big as my silkies that hatched a day before. Is there hope for this little one without tons of work or do we expect it won’t make it? What do I do to help it out?

    What gender is my 5-week-old chick?

    This is my little Ameraucana/BCM chick that I hatched 5 and a half weeks ago. He's the only survivor out of 12 incubated eggs and my first ever chick! He's always been very timid and shy and had "female-shaped" wings after hatching. His comb was very pale until last week. I read something...

    Hen left eggs at day 16. Will she mother them?

    I have a five-year-old Buff Orpington that has hatched and raised several broods in past years. This year, I started her sitting on a clutch 12-14 days AFTER she started showing signs of being broody. (I won't be vacationing this time of year again!) She sat fine for 15-16 days. And then started...

    Chick might need help?

    This egg pipped last night so I left it and assumed it would hatch over night. I came back to the membrane gone from the hole and what looks to be part of the chick. Though I can't tell which part. I haven't heard much from it and my first hatched chick seems concerned about it. It's been about...

    Pullet or Roo? I picked this little "pullet" up 3 days ago. I am having such a difficult time deciding pullet or roo. What do you guys think?? I'm assuming 3-4days old. I wanted another female BR because I love my original one, so I got another "pullet" and turned to be a male. Hoping I'm not...

    Mystery Banty?

    I just got four new Bantams from the local Costal (I believe they supply from Meyers hatchery). I’ve never seen a chick like this before and can’t ID it, I had a similar case with my chicken Petra and she’s an EE so I’m assuming that’s what this little guy is. What’s your guy’s opinion on breed...

    Name the breed of this mystery chick?

    Hi! This mystery chick hatched from a medium brown egg 4 days ago. Any idea what breed he/she may be? It’s very spunky, digs in the shavings more than the others, and likes to chest bump the other chicks. Not that any of that has anything to do with the type of chicken they’ll grow up to be:)
