Just thought I’d post a few pics of my new chicks hatched by my broody hen at the weekend. I have 1 Welsummer, 3 Lavender Araucanas (UK so ours have rumps) and 2 Indian Game/Welsummer crosses ...be interested to see how they turn out as I like both of those birds but have never seen a cross...
Hello everyone! I have two bantams and have room in my CT backyard for maybe 3 more bantams/small standards at the most. Preferably two I think. Does anyone have any available for sale?
I really don’t want the little babies to deal with long shipping through different states. If pick up is an...
Hi there, a few weeks ago a well-intentioned family member popped some abandoned partridge eggs underneath the chickens we own in the hope that the hens would sit on the eggs and raise them as their own. They’ve sat on the eggs happily until now, but have started to attack the chicks as they’ve...
I appreciate all the pics here on BYC, so I thought I'd share our crew!
The first group is currently 2 weeks old. Purchased 6 from Tractor Supply (TSC) June 4 (hatch date June 1). 4 Easter Eggers (labeled as Americana) and 2 Cuckoo Marans. We will be sharing 3 of these with friends in a week or...
Anyone know what kind of chick this is? We got a bunch today and this is the only one we couldn’t figure out, it’s not a Bantam and has pretty fuzzy legs!
Hey, I am 100% new to pheasant breeding, I have only had chicken and parrots before. I got 6 hatched eggs and they all look female to me, except one (that’d be a dream lol) But I wanted tO make sure, this seems so complicated lol
5 look just like that - n.1-5

we just got home, so i set them in their little home with lights, food, and water like i have with the rest of my chicks. when i put them in there though they refused to move; they’re just kinda standing there. maybe it’s stress from all the moving? i’m not sure. help
My aunt raises silkies and has never had this problem but she has had 2 chicks hatch same day and they have what looks like could be yolk sack not absorbed? Are we correct and what could be causing it?
Yesterday I hatched 2 bantam chicks for the first time using a incubator. The second chick pecked a hole and then had a rest for 2 hours or so then hatched within 30mins however the first chick found it very difficult to hatch and barely took a break as I watched them closely. He struggled for a...
my mailman looked so amused handing me a chirping box. the post office actually called me when it arrived... and he showed up 10 mins later... that is not usually how packages are delivered in Brooklyn! 🐥🐥🐥🐥
We currently have a hen hatching out chicks last night we noticed one of the eggs was had a pip hole this morning though the hen was not on the nest there was no progress in the hatching and the egg was cold we assisted it (it did not bleed) now the chick is on a heating pad still not chirping...
Hello all! This will be a little long winded but I need some answers or a little help. I have read many posts on several sites (new & old posts) but I believe we have a slightly stranger issue going on. I need to break it all down so those who read it can understand better.
1st - we had 3 broody...
Just got new chicks today, told the lady to give me a variety and she didn’t and I also didn’t see which kind she got me. I know this was a huge mistake, but mistakes lead to new beginnings and I love these guys! So can anyone tell me what breed these are and some things about the breed like egg...
