My polish almost died last week after I found she was retaining an egg. She was able to pass the egg (it was her normal sized egg) ~36hrs and it wasn’t broken but she’s had this butt ever since. Help! Her poop hasn’t gotten better or worse since then and it’s been 1.5wks. Her personality has...
Hi! My chickens have started laying eggs (from what I know they’re all white leghorns) and they should all be laying white eggs.
This morning I went into the coop and found this brown yellow looking egg. Is there something wrong? Should I be concerned?
I have a heterozygous dominant white rooster with multiple black hens and one blue cuckoo hen.
I thought that when bred to a black hen (when he actually gives his copy of white to a chick) it would always result in paints. So far I've only managed to hatch one paint and many, many plain whites...
I have a question for anyone who can answer...
The last four eggs that have hatched, all late, have been pure white quail, and smaller than most that have hatched so far. I have also had to help 2 of them hatch as there were shell issues trapping them in.
The question: is there anything in...
I know most silkies are recessive white. however, say I have a black pen and a white pen - can I switch the roosters to see what colors are behind each white, or would there be a better color than black to use?
Hi he was abandoned at the side of the road so I’ve never been sure on his breed, could someone let me know what it is please as I’ve always wondered Thank you
My newest Silkie has:
•very light blue-ish pink-ish skin
•light beak
•light purple ears
•light gold eyes
•and a lavender color in her feathers (was told she was "mauve")..not white
•5 toes on one foot and 4 on the other (so assuming a mix)
Is she albino? What chickens have this color skin...
Wondering what color the chicks will be ( not the eggs) if I cross this white amerecauna hen (I think she’s white with black leakage) to a blue splash marans.
Heya everyone. My quail layed a pure white egg today and thought i would show it off. Her usual eggs are patterned with purple patches which i always found beautiful but this was beautiful too in its own way. :)
Hello friends! So we have 4 Cayuga duckies. We have noticed though, that one of the females has these white feathers throughout her body. She is a young duck, hatched this spring! Any clues?! Is she a Cayuga like we thought, or different? Or maybe just a pretty feathered Cayuga?! Have a blessed...
I have a presumably leghorn or some sort of mix of it, rooster which is weaker and frailer than the other chickens his age. They're all about 4-5 months. I feed them chicken feed mixed with some cracked corn. It's not that he doesn't eat, infact he eats a lot. His crop gets full, like a ball...
I have three white silkies to re-home. A 5 month old cockerel, a 5 month old pullet, and a 1 yr old hen(got separately - not the mama hen). Attached are some photos with the larger bird being the cockerel. I am located in southern Ohio. If interested, please feel free to message any questions...
A while ago, i decided to try and hatch some chickens from our flock. I let 7 eggs incubate. all of these eggs were mixed with white crested black polish, as that was our only roo. of 7 eggs, 5 hatched. i was so happy about this. we hatched:
2 white ameraucana eggs
1 buff ee egg
1 white silkie...
Any ideas on genders? They are 5 weeks old. I know it's a bit too early but I need to know which chicks I can get attached to...
Darwin is my chamois frizzle. S/he has a flat but round crest. The under-beak is still pink. I've always wanted a chamois polish so I really hope for a girl...
What is its gender and breed? To me it looks like a hen. Name is Peach. As name implies its body is peach colored. It's very gentle, too gentle in fact. Little guy is very friendly. Small and light colored comb and wattle which makes me think its a hen.
