    My 10 new standard sized chicks shipped on 4/8 and now it's the 17th of April. Nine of the chicks (all hens) are growing like normal - wings getting longer, legs and necks taller, etc. But one little baby is not growing. She still looks like she's 2 days old! I've had to clean her vent almost...

    Feed and Growth Concerns....Black Australorps

    BYC Fam, So I'm experienced with raising BO's, but this year I decided to try for Black Australorps (BA's). My BA's are 4 months old, and not as large as I was expecting them to be, by this point. I know my BO's would be larger at this age, but I was under the impression that BA's are similar...

    Andalusian Comb and Egglaying

    Hello Everyone, On June 7, 2018 my Blue Andalusian laid her first egg. It was oddly long, but roughly the size of a normal store bought egg. Ever since she laid her first egg, her egg size has been decreasing. I don’t know what a “normal” size egg is supposed to look like, being new to raising...

    I have a two week old chick who is about half the size of the other chicks that hatched with her. She has an enlarged crop that is very soft. It goes down sometimes, but can get so big that it looks like it is going bald. She is up and pretty active, but does get bumped down a lot if the...

    Developed chicken egg has air bubbles?

    One of the eggs that my hen is sitting on has mobile air bubbles? The egg is fairly far developed but i'm starting to worry :( As you turn the egg the bubbles follow along with you ... the normal air sac is perfectly where it should be as these air bubbles are actually inside the membrane.. Does...

    Is it too early to tell?

    Can you tell the gender of any of the larger chicks yet? I know the smaller ones are probably still too small (although one has a comb that is already darkening so think it’s a male).They are all just over 3 weeks old. Are they still too young?
