Hi there, first time hatching, 4th and final chick hatched and by what I’ve seen online it has a prolapsed vent(?) I could be wrong. I have taken other chicks out of the incubator into the brooder and left him in incubator isolated. He has been hatched 12 hours. Pic was taken shortly after hatching. Now it looks the same size just a bit dry

Is there anything I can do to help it 😭 please may I have advice if you have gone through this and please let me know the outcome. Thank you 💗

Yesterday I posted about my ‘roosters’ head shaking behaviour, and I was told this is actually a hen, or it was intersex, or it was a rooster. I’ve taken some better pictures and I’d love to know your opinion It does not crow, I’ve had it for a week only and prior owner says it attempts to and then goes silent after the first 0.5 seconds of what sound like a crow… It’s extremely protective of the rest of the flock and acts like a rooster, walks around quite up right and dominate. I am told it is a Partridge Laced Wyandotte, I am not sure if it’s cross breed, google shows me that roosters do not come in this colouring, and that wing shape looks hen to me but I am no chicken scientist

Thank you!

Hello I was given this flock of sweet chooks, 5x hens and this rooster, the rooster wobbles his head and I was told he has done this his whole life (2 years old)

Does anyone know what the cause is? Its his only behavioral quirk, besides that he is a kind rooster 🐓💗

The background noise is a child babbling, not the chickens 😇

I acquired these two Pekin hens (and 3 Wyandotte GL hens and 1 partridge lace (?) rooster) for free on Facebook! Woohoo! now I cannot find a similar colour for the Pekins on Google… is buff partridge a colour…? Hoping someone could shed some light on what I would call the colour of my Pekins! Is it a mix? I’m a newbie & have only had brown shavers and Hy-Lines for egg production. New to heritage breeds and all these pretty colours 😍 I will be adding a Pekin rooster as soon as I build a seperate coop for the Pekins. I’d looove to have some advice on what colour Pekin roo I should get, I’m wanting to increase my flock but also have family members begging me to hatch them some chicks! Would love and appreciate any information/advice people could give me based on these pics, do they look like crossbreds or do they have odd colouring or any ‘defects’ per say, not that I would be attempting to show them but I’m so curious 😆😊 Thank you 💗💗💗🐓🐓
