We put 9 eggs in the incubator, so far everything has gone swimmingly. 2 eggs pipped on day 20, and yesterday on day 21 all have hatched but one. The only egg left does not have an external pip, but I haven't opened the incubator to candle it. Last night before I went to bed there was one...

I have an 8 week old chick who was starting to show some signs of leg paralysis a few days ago. I think it's a vitamin deficiency.. the bird is not showing any other signs of Marek's which was what I was most worried about. The only poultry vitamins I was able to find at my local farm store...

I went out to let my birds out this morning and noticed one chick walking on its hocks. I usually spend a good amount of time in the mornings watching everyone to make sure they're all good, and today was the first time I noticed this. I tried to take a video but couldn't get one, I can keep...

I'll just start off saying I am quite new to keeping chickens. My family has a small flock of eight birds, they are just about 12 weeks old. We've come to the realization that we likely have 6 cockerels and 2 pullets on our hands 🤦‍♀️ we will be removing 5 of the cockerels once we know for sure...

Hi there! I'm new here We got some 10 day old chicks from a homestead back at the end of June. Didn't think to ask what breed they were (maybe someone has an idea of what they might be?) and I've been agonizing over what sex they might be since they started growing feathers 😂 We have one...
