    New chick with inflamed/ deformed foot, plus polydactyl

    Hello chicken community, I am new to hatching baby chicks and need some expert eyes and advice on this new baby chick of ours. **Note, this clutch was hatched out of obligation to our now deceased chicken who was sadly attacked by a dog. We later found her stash of eggs nearby our home and...

    Breed ID for new chicks? Sexing too early?

    Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (😞) leaving our other one alone...

    Unique colours this time

    Got a bunch of unique and New (to me) colours in my most recent hatch. They're growing into their colours quite nicely. I have mostly no idea whether they're Male or Female... one or two I have ideas. These are just a sampling from the 26 in the last clutch.

    Is this an attached umbilical?

    This silkie chick just hatched (with assistance, it was very malpositioned (these were shipped eggs). I waited somewhere between 24-36 hours to help. It tried zipping but was making a vertical line down the shell instead... Anyway, it kicked off the shell on its own but had stringy stuff that...

    New Hatched Silkie Laying on Back

    Hello! I’m a new chicken mom, and I we had two successful hatches. Alas, the third had a dried membrane and ended up being somewhat of an assisted hatch (it pushed itself out at the end but we had to wet the membrane). It’s been 2 hours since it’s out but it cannot stay on its back. I’m too...

    Something isn't right...i think

    This turkey was hatched last night with assistance after about 18 hours of trying to unzip. He's the first turkey I've hatched. He spent the night in the bottom level of the incubator, but hasn't stood up on his own yet. Are his toes crooked? The bottom level floor is kinda like hardware cloth...

    Chick Breed?

    I got a dozen eggs from a friend and 10 out of 12 are fertile and have hatched. I don't know what breeds she has but some lay light blue to light pale green eggs and I think there was a silver leghorn rooster also that I saw but I'm not 💯 percent sure. It definitely looked like it though. Had...

    Newborn chick with prolapsed cloaca

    My silkie egg just hatched and she looked like she had a clump of flesh near her bottom, after a closer look I think it could be a prolapsed cloaca. This chick is the first chick I've ever hatched, I've never heard of this issue before and I'm not entirely sure what to do about it. For now I'll...

    Ecco Glow for new chicks??

    i have new chicks in my incubator and when dry I plan to move to brooder with an Ecco glow. You know how brand new chicks just lie down and sleep? When are they old enough to go under the Ecco glow? If you get the chicks at the store or shipped to you they seem okay. But these brand new ones...

    New hatch with a large yolk sac

    So, I am very excited, out of nearly 24 eggs, only 5 look like they are going to hatch. I received them by mail, and I know that greatly decreases the odds, and add on top of that that the mail man put them in my mail box even though they said live eggs, so two were broken. And there was a...

    How long after hatch until the chick should start walking?

    So it's been roughly 8 hours and my chick(golden polish),now dry and fluffy, is laying around curled up. Not worrying. But it's only moves backwards and falls on it's back. Is this normal? The other chick seems to be picking on it and the chick just lays the or flops on it's back.
