Sup yall, I have two unneutered/unspayed cats. Wesley and Maisy. We want to let them mate to have kittens next year, but we were wondering if it’s safe because they are related. They have the same dad, but different moms. Is it as risky as purely inbreeding true siblings cats? I heard that...

Hey, I was outside earlier passing by my 16 baby chicks, and I thought I heard something that could have represented a crow. They are all almost two months old, and a few are supposed roosters. Is this possible??

So, there is a male cat who has been hanging around our land lately. He eats lots of cat food at night and always meows at us to follow him, but we can’t go over the fence. We thought that maybe he had kittens (we just recently discovered he was a he, we thought he was a girl) and we thought...

Please just take a moment to appreciate these adorable baby chooks. They are so cute. Just look at their little beaks, their adorable wittle eyes, their wittle pin feaders??? These are wittle chirping masterpieces of God, and they are all I need to make me feel happy.

Soo, one of our light Brahmas, Nikki, is either egg bound or broody. If I ever move her, minutes later she’s back in the nesting box! If she IS broody, is it safe to let her hatch some eggs, or should we not put any eggs under her?? I live in Oklahoma and it gets pretty cold here in the winter...

One of my hen’s pupils is oval, not round. And so far she is not molting. Although another one of my hens is molting, and her two pupils are different sizes. One small, one big. Know why the first one is oval and not round?

Does anyone here on BYC listen to Owl City music artist? He is a one man Christian pop band, who I have been listening to for years! I recently went to his concert. Does anyone listen to him? Please say! Or, just comment your favorite music artists!

So, we have at least three roosters right now, a year old bantam, a few month old beilefelder, and a two month old frizzle bantam. We currently have around 25 hens, not all of which are laying age, though. I have a question, though. Is it a hard rule that you need at least ten hens for one roo...

With our last run of meat birds, we got a mystery chick, who we named Chili Pepper. About a month or two later, Chili is still small and cute, and we put her with three chicks, one whom we hatched ourselves. She sat on them, despite her not being much older than they, and she was a great mama...

So, we hatched a bunch of eggs on October 30th and 31st, and one of them, who might be half golden laced wyandotte, has been acting groggy lately. He stands kind of huddled and fluffy up, he stays by himself sometimes, when I give water to him he won't drink. He also wobbles when he walks, and...

Earlier today, a chick by the name of Mazzio (it could have been a different one) a door accidentally smashed on the poor chick’s toe, breaking the bone. We had to amputate the tiny toe, since it was only hanging on by a thread of skin. The poor chick (who’s name we changed to Bethany, like...

Do the pins feathers in female chicks appear earlier than in male chicks? We suspected that our frizzle chick was a boy because his pin feathers appeared after the two other chicks pin feathers did, and so far, everyone on BYC says that we were right. Two girls, one boy. And does anyone have any...

So, in the last days of October we hatched 15 chicks in our incubator. After one day we looked at all of their wings because we had heard about wing sexing, that females wings the feathers are the same length, whereas males wing feathers are long then short. There were some that screamed BOY! IM...

One of my favorites is the Easter egger!

There are many bearded breeds, which one is best?

Here on BYC I see people with different little tags on their profiles. I’m new and right now mine says “Chirping” and is there any way to change it, or do you have to be a premium member?

This is little Frank-hen-stein who was the first chick we ever hatched! She was in an incubator with 21 other eggs, some of which had growing babies in em. Frankie was the only one to hatch, and is an Easter egger d’uucle mix! So far she is a pullet, as everyone says here on BYC! It’s a miracle...

This is Aaron, our hybrid black star whom we hatched on October 30th or 31st. I keep posting pics of chicks to see if anyone can figure out if they’re cockerels or pullets even tough we checked their wings at a day old, and Aaron’s said he was a boy. But is three weeks too young? Is Aaron a...

This is Chip! We hatched him either on October 30th or the 31st. We assume he is a cockerel because we checked his wing feathers when he was a day old. He is a mixed breed, maybe part Brahma. Is he to you to sex yet or is there anything screaming cockerel? Please help I would love if the...

This is one of the chicks we hatched on October 31st. We checked his wing feathers and assumed that he was a boy. We did not name him, because we are going to butcher the males when they grow up. We assume that he is a red star/ Mille fleur d’uucle mix or a red star Easter egger mix. Is he too...
