I have a question. I have a game hen who was perfectly fine for the first two weeks we have had her then all of a sudden she is just real lethargic and sleeping all day. She has no other symptoms. Any ideas?

I need help! Can someone tell me if this a hen or a roo and is there any way of telling age in a chicken? Thanks

Question about the game birds. We got two babies we were told were hens but they were only two months old. Now they are about 4 or 5 and I noticed both of them have started growing the flaps of skin on the side of theirs mouths. Can hens have that?

Good grief spell check! They gave me the one in the second picture!

When I went to the feed store and asked for duration they gave me theoxytetracycline. This is the same stuff right?

This is my wheaten pullet rosie

this is one of ours

we just got this baby. I was told she was a black moran? What do you guys think?

OK reading all these posts and I'm a little confused. Can you only vaccinate when they are just hatched or can you vaccinate later? I bought all mone from individuals and I'm not sure that any have been vaccinated.

thank you! Silkie are very hard to get ahold of where I live! I don't feel comfortable ordering them and having them shipped. I like to see where they come from. My 9 year old is going to start raising them and showing them.

Here is another view of it. It's just 3 months old

We also have this little one. The breeder thinks it's going to be a pullet but not sure and not sure on the color either!

thank you so much! It was sold to us as a black but the more it grew the more light coloring started coming through! I'm hoping its a pullet since I already have lots of roos!!! It's very sweet once you catch it and pick it up!

Thank you we are very excited! We are learning as we go and it is more difficult than expected!! I've read a lot on here when I have had questions! Great place for learning!
