So I've got this chick that constantly makes this gagging motion and kinda seems lethargic. He's been like this for around 4days. He still eats and drinks but won't stop gagging, I've read about how chicks will do it occasionally but not constantly like this one. please help as I've already lost...
So I'm moving to the country on a 6 acre lot and I'm going to raise some more chickens. I'm going to order either 10 cubalaya bantams or 10 old English bantams along with about 20 meat birds and 15 layers from cackle. As most of us know cackle does not sex their bantams so there is a chance that...
I've got a Dominique hen
I want an old English game bantam or American game bantam hen.
I might not be trading my hen for a while but if I do decide to trade her I will get back to you. Thanks
Hi all, I'm out of Findlay and I'm just looking around for some reputable American game or old English game standard size breeders. I'll probably not actually get any game birds for a while until I can make room in my coop for them.
She seems to be getting food just at a different time then the others such as when they are napping under the light or looking at a bug on the other side of the brooder. She is no doubt at the bottom of the pecking order but she is the bravest around humans. Today we took them outside and and...
When my existing hens grow old and die I think I'll look into American games. Is there any good breeders in Ohio? I wouldn't need anything top of the line stock wise just some good American game hens. Thanks
I've got a pair of EE chicks along with my sexlink, buckeye, and leghorn. So far the friendliest is actually the leghorn which I thought to be odd because of their reputation as being high strung birds. But the EEs are also very friendly and faster developing than my leghorn which I also found...
the others are now at least twice her size. she seems to be a "runt" if that is even possible for chickens. she seems to have not grown very much at all since we got her. I had always thought that leghorns were supposed to grow much faster than other breeds? she has very small wing feathers and...
My exchequer leghorn female chick is growing much slower than the rest and has a kind of wet feather look to her. Is it even a her? I have no idea what is going on here but I am concerned as I had always thought leghorns were fast to mature. Here are some picture of her compared to a Easter...
I've got an exchequer leghorn chick that sleeps more than the others, these are short little naps and then she wakes up and is pretty alert and active. I know that chicks sleep a lot but she sleeps all the time in short spans. She eats and drinks fine but not as often as the others. Is this...
