    Hi, I've got a very Broody Pekin Bantam that has been dilligently sitting on 5 Light Sussex eggs for 10 days now and her best mate has wandered around that garden at loose end to the point that she's joined her on the eggs.

    Pekin chicken

    Hi guys. we recently brought a pekin chicken that’s approximately 2 weeks old. I heard you can sex these chickens quite early, but wasn’t sure when would be too soon? Would it be possible to determine the sex of this baby? Thanks in advance!

    Belgian d'Uccle X (and a Pekin!) - colour and sex?

    Hi there! We've got a number of d'Uccle Cross chicks hatched, and I'm terrible at sexing them. Their father is a purebred Porcelain d'Uccle, and their mums (1 frizzle, 1 smooth) are Japanese Bantam x d'Uccle (though, not sure how much d'Uccle since their legs are nearly feather-less!) I've...

    Hooked Beak?

    Hello, anyone tell me if this beak is hooked? She is a new addition to the flock and seems a little longer than our other bantams. She can eat greens well but not sure about seed and grit. Is it too long and should I trim? Thankyou!

I choose...

    Sexing six-week-olds

    Hi guys, My 5 babies have just turned 6 weeks. Is it too early to sex them? I’ve had pretty terrible luck with incubation thus far, usually 10-20% hens. So I am desperately hoping to at least get one hen! I think it might be just be too hot here to get a decent hatch ratio. Has anyone found...
