This rooster’s sire is Grey x Red Junglefowl and his mother is a Huastec. He’s a total spaz and flips out every time someone he doesn’t know comes near his coop. The hen next to him is his daughter.

Thank you! ☺️ I love them. ❤️

Not a breed, but I’m on generation 3 of a blue layer project based off of what are quite possibly the two most unlikely breeds imaginable: White Laced Red Cornish and Hmong. This cross tends to be super friendly and they’re remarkably (and unexpectedly) good layers.

I’m going to do it tomorrow! I gave them all a pretty generous dose of Corid and also treated them with oregano essential oil. They looked a little better this evening.

Is there anything I can do in the interim to keep them stable until better medication comes in the mail?

Can’t take them to any vet in my area even if I could afford to.

Thank you! Just ordered the Tri-S or Sulfa. Supposed to arrive in 3-10 *business* days. We’ll see if any are still alive by the time it gets here.

They’re hatched from my stock on my property. We’ve had an extraordinarily wet winter and Spring this year, so coccidiosis is BAD.

Where can I get those? Can’t find it anywhere online

Bloody poops, ruffled feathers, lethargic, the whole gamut. The entire hatch of 6 week old chicks seems to have it. I’m losing them at the rate of 1-2 per day. I started treating with Corid powder 3 days ago, and if anything they look WORSE. I’m doing everything I can: bleaching their enclosure...

I’m doing Hmong x Cornish right now, and what I’m finding is that if you cross a big, tall Hmong rooster with a well-muscled Cornish hen, the offspring will tend to be the overall size, build and ample dark meat of a Hmong, but with a heavier build from the Cornish side.

I think these “Blue Dominos” are just glorified Hmong chickens. I have some Hmong that look exactly like that, lay blue eggs and everything. 🥴

I’m honestly not sure. Hatched looking like this:

Beautiful Satin Silkie baby, 12 weeks old. Cockerel, I think??? Is this Blue Partridge? This is my first and only Silkie. I’m in love. 😍

It really depends on the line and the individual. Most of his sons are big softies. 😆
