Mine started to peep between day 19 and day 22, they were all shipped eggs and they all hatched even if they were carried under 85 degrees.
Let us know how it goes! :fl
Hi everyone,
My 5 months old Silkie had a wry neck when she was around 2 months, and here we go again, I woke up 3 days ago and noticed her neck was starting to twist a little bit and 2 days ago it was definitely a wry neck again.
When she was 2 months old, I treated her with vit E + selenium...
Yea, Orpi is a cockerel for sure, he started to crow (not sure it's the right way to say it), yesterday, just after a rooster far away did ; probably tried to imitate him!
I love Fluffy so much, he/she has a wry neck right now but almost fixed after 12 days! :fl
Thanks so much!
Haha, yea Fluffy is a mix for sure, but which one? I asked the owner/egg seller and she never replied ; he/she has 5 fingers for sure but doesn't look like a Silkie.
Orpi is exactly the same age, he did a cockerel singing (sorry I'm French so there's probably a better way to...
Hi everyone,
So my chicks are 2 months and 10 days old now, and I'm not sure but all I can see - except for one (Kira) is "cockerels"! Am I wrong?
Just so you know, Orpi is an Orpington, Fluffy is a mix between a Polish (I guess??) and a Silkie, and the other ones are Silkies.
Here are some...
I was in the exact same position 2 months ago - they all hatched.
I raised the humidity up to 65% - 70%, stop turning everyone not to decrease the humidity and it worked super well for them all!
Haha thank you! I had a strong feeling he was a cockerel but I literally wanted him to be a pullet!!! :barnie
Do you think you could tell for 8 weeks old silkies? Or is it too soon/hard to know?
Hi everyone!
So I have 9 chicks, including 1 orpington and 8 silkies who are turning 8 weeks old tomorrow.
It might be too early for the silkies but what do you think about this orpi? Is it a pullet or a cockerel?
It's my favorite, he/she's super gentle and loves to be cuddled (to be honest I...
There's progress!
#3 and #4 are super active, eating and trying to drink (trying, they don't really get it yet).
#2 is doing much better, he's back with the others, resting mainly but he ate a little bit.
#1 now seems the weakest, he's mainly sleeping and didn't eat yet. I tried to give him...
Hi there!
So the 4 eggs are born yesterday! 🥰
. First one at 7 am
. Second one at 2 pm
. Third at 4:30 pm
. Forth at 1 am
I put them in their box under a heating plate right before going to bed.
They looked healthy yesterday but when I woke up this morning, I thought the second one was...
Hm, I don't want to be a super-anxious-person but ok, I am right now.
It's been 13 hours since the first pip and almost 7 hours since the 2nd. Is it ok ? Should I do something or just observe?
