Was in the Bantam Bin at TSC, so could be anything! Silkie mix??? Have ruled out Faverolle and most other feathered leg chickens. Any ideas about 4 weeks old.
Hi all. So I am fairly experienced with recognizing a cockerel at a young age, but this one has me stumped. Tho i have my suspicions. This is my first batch of Ameracauna and I’m not used to the pea combs, so it’s harder for me
To distinguish. Also the hackle
And saddle feathers aren’t any...
Hey all! I’m curious about this little
One. I got 4 bantams from TSC and 3 I got because I’m sure they are polish. But this one, has me stumped. At first I thought it had a little
Vaulted skull, but I think it’s just fluff. Cochin maybe?
We had a Duck pass away yesterday pretty unexpectedly. At first i though just from heat stroke but then i saw her feet which made me look at the rest. I’m pretty sure it’s bumble foot but want to make sure. What do y’all think? Also if it is, any suggestions on how to best treat are...
Need a Halloween Rooster?!?! Located in Mooresville NC. I have 2 Rare Ayam Cemani Cockerels for sale. These are intended for breeding purposes. Free range Chickens. Fed an 20% protein All Flock Feed, with probiotics and prebiotics in it. I purchased these two from an Npip certified breeder as...
So these two, have me pondering. I got them at 16 wks, they are now 28 wks, as Pullets. Supposedly a Wyandotte, and red sex link. But clearly just barnyard mix. (As I’ve learned more now, both clearly are mixes.) Blackberry the Wyandotte mix (if you have any suggestions what combo she may...
so I didn’t know cockerels crow this early but it’s hilarious! This guy is cotton candy (thanks to my 3 year old.) he isn’t even 4 weeks yet and has been doing this at least a week and a half. So funny! He must have been encouraged by my older Cockerel. Anyone else have any do it this early?
i have a flock of 4 teenagers. About 12-14 weeks. 3 Pullets, 1 Cockerel. We are looking to integrate in a few more due to a dog attack loss. Looking at either 3 hens a little over a year that are laying. Or several chicks around the same age. Could I do both? Will the hens hurt my...
This pretty thang is Iggy, sold to me as an Ameracauna Pullet. I now know she is a polish or polish cross. But, want to know if she is actually a pullet. I believe she is, but I know close to nothing about this breed or how to distinguish them. around 12-13 weeks old. Thanks y’all!
(Tried...
hey y’all! Quick question from this newbie. I have a little chick that still has energy. But is obviously ill. But refuses to eat. (No respiratory junk, but weak.). Both sick chicks are really thin, and have been since I got them. They also. And With Coccisidosis. Could they have worms as well...
I have been fighting this respiratory illness since I’ve got these birds (believe they came home with this and Cocci.). My heart can’t handle
Seeing this baby suffer anymore, so unfortunately I believe I am getting ready to put it down. But I have 1 bird with the same mouth mucus, (no nose) and...
we had a case of Coccidosis that started at the seller. All my chicks from her, minus my Cornish rocks (bought at TSC.) And my newest Ayam Cemanis, came pretty thin. They still are, but getting bigger, but not as quickly. But my lavendar Ameracauna has still not “bounced back” after 7-8...
Now that maybe bantams have fully feathered out and are beautiful! I am not full convinced that they are either OEGB or Dutch Bantams. But maybe? Any ideas on breed? (Cockerel in back, pullet in front.) i also assume they are about 10 ish weeks old, but if anyone had a better guess on age...
Hey there,
One of my chicks has yellow faint poop with partially undigested food. This is a new round of chicks (i have 9-10 week old chicks separately). The younger chicks I believe already had Cocci when i brought them home. Which spread and 2 of my chicks died. I caught it in time and 2...
so I just got one Silkie chick, and it’s rump is a little strange. I’m pretty oblivious when it comes to this breed, so I want to make sure it’s nothing of concern. This is not something I have encountered in my other chicks. May be nothing. It seems to be enlarged, doesn’t really have...
Hi there! We have Iggy, a pullet. She was sold to me as an Ameracauna by TSC. Tho, she has a vaulted skull and this wild Mohawk. We adore her, as she is one of the nicest and mildest birds. But I’m not buying into the fact that she is Ameracauna. (Grey charcoal legs). Any ideas?
so one of my Olive Egger Chicks swallowed another chicks fallen feather. I couldn’t own the brooder to get it from her in time.... she thought it was a worm? :hmm Will she alright? Do I need to do anything?
