I purchased the Silver and White King Quail hatching eggs from Garrie Landry. Looks like I have at least 3 Silvers and 1 White?
I do have 1 Normal Wildtype from a different line. They will share the same breeding pen [Wildtype, Silver, and White]. What colors will I get from them? [I know that...
My sweet Ayam Cemani hen decided that December was a great month to become a first time mom. I found her sitting on 5 eggs and within a few more days, she was sitting on a total of 9 eggs! I candled them, thinking I would only find 3-4 to be fertilized. However, all 9 had developing chicks...
Hi I am wondering if someone who has more knowledge than me may know why this happened.
Christmas eve at 8pm the first chick pipped. There was a lot of wiggling around.Two more chicks pipped. Christmas day afternoon a chick hatched. Christmas the original pipped chick was in the original...
I have a chick that hatched this morning at around 7, the only one that survived. It’s now 1pm and she can’t really walk still and I’ve noticed she looks like she is regurgitating, and then she will gasp. This is odd because she hasn’t eaten or drank anything yet. I held her for a moment earlier...
Today I noticed one of my 4-week-old broiler chicks had a wry neck. He didn’t seem to eat or drink until I checked a couple hours later after the discovery. I hand-fed and hand-drank him and he immediately seemed a little better. I watched him go to the feeders and feed. His neck will go limp...
I was nudging this guy out of the way to pick up some poop, and he did not protest at all. I had to physically pick him up, but whenever I set him down, he just flopped back on his side with his leg curled, and did not jump up when other chicks were running over him. I picked him up completely...
Hi, I have a 3 week old black australorp who seems to have a bump above her tail feathers. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this who can offer some insight or advice.
This is our second flock raised from chicks and I've never had one have this issue. The only information I could...
Today I noticed these warts on my chicken, she has one on her beak and one on her right or left ear. I did a quick google search and it says it might be fowl pox. I think there are no treatments for fowl pox but vaccines. How can I treat these warts and what even is it? Thanks
My Barnevelder pullet was in rough shape yesterday after an awful hawk attack. Of my 3 pullets, 1 was taken/killed, 1 (this one) severely injured, and the other unharmed. I believe the hawk attempted to get the Barnevelder first and maybe she dropped from high in the air, causing the leg to...
I have a 3 day old quail chick that had a tough hatch.
1st night it was very lethargic and shaky, swollen eyes and gagging, raspy (clicking?) and shaking head constantly. I fed quail egg yolk and manuka honey water from drops on my knuckle and the chick improved massively within 15m...
I have a silkie frizzle I just bought from a zoo, she does this weird head movement and I’ve looked everywhere online about it and it says it’s a vitamin deficiency but when I go see the videos it looks nothing like her issue, please help me figure out what’s wrong with her. She is a vary heathy...
I have a 5 week old chick and she was doing perfectly fine, intergetic. However he rnother rejected her so shes been in our brooder, and deemed Kitchen Chicken. Shes been there since she was born and we had to help her out if the egg because she was shrink wrapped. Shes far too small to be put...
A few mornings ago my younger sister tore into the house and proceeded to tell me that Mohawk and Jenny my two silkie girls had a chick under them! Later that day more hatched! It is now day three and I have 12 happy strong chicks that came by accident. They are a wonderful blessing, and what a...
Hi everyone. I have 2 wynadottes that are roughly 14 weeks old. I’m just trying to sex them and am new to this so thought I would get some other opinions. Any help would be appreciated. I think they may be crossbred aswell. Thank you.
Long post ahead. Sorry!
My sweet girl Franny hatched 5 baby chicks some time yesterday (I didn't realize til I got home that evening) and immediately I noticed that one of them wasn't doing to well. When Franny got up to get food, the others chased her everywhere she went, but this little one...
A few of my chicks hatched over the past day, and one is not doing so well. She was a bit of a mess already when she emerged, with a big chunk of yolk and the umbilical cord hanging. After she hobbled around throughout the day in the incubator, and I finally got real concerned when I saw her...
Approximately 3 week old chick was drinking a fair bit of water when I went to pick her up and she vomited clear, warm liquid on my arm. Is this just because she was drinking a lot of water and I picked her up, or should I be worried?? Thanks in advance!
