Quote: I think that is what it was. I lost all of the chicks but one who is still doing awesome. (She was older and had 'bites' on her too) To this day, none of my other chickens have shown any signs of anything wrong, including some new breeds we added a couple of months ago (close to 100...

Hi all. I will post pics ASAP, but I have a strange bird in my coop. It hatched about 8-9 months ago and looks strange. (Kinda roo-ish and kinda hen-ish) I always thought that it would be a roo because it had long legs, but now I am not so sure. It is huge compared to some of my other birds, as...

We are working on some new lemon-blue for the 2011 hatching year. We have a lemon-blue roo that is outstanding looking. I will post pics ASAP. We love working with the genetics and are hoping to come up with some chickens this year that will be show stoppers! Keep an eye out for some pics soon...

They were hatched out from eggs from the mature hens and being kept in an outside 8 foot by 4 foot by 2 foot tall fully enclosed pen. They have fresh water and a heat lamp and have been fed standard chick starter as well as greens from the garden. I have been raising chickens for over 6 years...

Posted... sorry posting photos on this site takes a bit of work...

Hey everyone. I have some month old chicks and they have been happy and healthy up until a few days ago. They seem to be developing "proud" flesh from sores at the base of their beak and their eye swells shut on the one side. I have looked on the internet and not been able to find anything. I...
