    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Hi! So I recently bought some chicks from a person local to me. I've had them for a couple days now, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of a bad smell they have. I've had plenty of chickens and chicks these last few years, and I've never had them smell like this before. It's like a...

    Silkie coloring prediction

    I have some new members to my flock. This year I decided I wanted to add some silkies which I have never had before. Long story short I'm curious to see what colors they will turn into.

    URGENT: Hatched chick that can’t walk

    I hatched out my first batch of turkey poults, and I’m very concerned for the first hatched. She can’t walk right or control her legs, and I’m not sure how to help. She’s about 24 hours old now, which I know is young, but I’ve hatched dozens of other chickens and peacocks and never had a chick...

    Frizzled Cochin sexing

    I bred my Millie to a calico roo and it may be too soon to tell sex but a Cochin person said I had a few Roos and I’m looking to get opinions! (Also have this copper maran and he is the only one in that pen who has a bright red comb so I’m assuming he is a roo since the other 11 marans hatched...

    BCM chicks with stunted growth

    I hatched 9 BCM chicks on April 14. They are now 9 weeks old and 2 of them are half the size of the others. They eat, drink, run, play and poop normally. They do seem to rest a little more and are easier to catch when it's time to go in at night. Is this something I should be concerned...

    Hey, i hope my post isnt too long and at least somewhat understandable. A few months ago we planned to hatch chickens for us and also for a friend of us. She asked for a certain breed, which was totally okay fur us, since we wanted to hatch more than one breed anyway. In the end we could only...
