Thank you! I got four of them and two EEs. can’t wait to watch them feather out! :D

Couldn’t help myself, oops! Better pics and an EE chick for size reference. i

Gotcha. This was the best I could get, with COVID going on no one but the employees are allowed to handle the birds in store. I might go back and get a few because my curiosity is getting the best of me!

Hi all, I stopped by my local tractor supply today and they had these chicks, I’ve never seen a chick with coloring like this and their labels aren’t always correct. They told me they were cuckoo marans but they had another bin with cuckoos and they look nothing alike. They’re also super small...

Hi all! I just noticed these on a few of my hens (including my one hen who’s been a permanent house resident for months :sick) and I have no idea where they came from, or what they are. They’re SUPER tiny and all over the feathers, unlike most mites which are usually close to the skin. What do...

I haven’t noticed her turn purple, she’s stayed a healthy red color like the rest of the chickens. Not really, when she’s not having an episode her head is in a normal position. It’s only when she’s in one that her head moves around in a circle, I’ll try to video it if she has another one.

Thank you guys, I’ll give the vitamins a try. She’s a Cuckoo Maran, around a year old.

Hi all, I have a hen who has recently started having some odd “episodes” and I can’t find anything online that gives me an explanation. On Wednesday she didn’t come out of the run with the rest of the chickens so I picked her up to look her over and she started what I thought was the process of...

I don’t think he’s a Delaware, I have a few of them and they only have a bit of speckling on the neck and black tips on their tail feathers. aside from that they’re all white.

Darn, I figured. Trying to deny it didn’t help

Hi all! I have a 10 week old chick that has me stumped on what breed she is. I got her from Tractor Supply and she was marked as an Easter Egger pullet but nothing about this bird screams Easter Egger to me, and I’m starting to question if she’s really a pullet. She’s got a few “fluffy”...

Bringing this thread back for an update. The hen with the tumors passed away a few weeks ago, looked like she had just gone to asleep so I assume it was peaceful and that whatever was going on was just too much for her. The white chicken in the sling is still hanging around (unintentional pun)...

Thank you for the link, I will definitely check that out. It makes me feel better knowing it’s not just me having odd issues this year, but I also feel bad for everyone else :( Hopefully the new year brings more luck and well being for all of us and our flocks.

I understand a bad hatch, but I was receiving birds all throughout the year, not just all at one time. I received the first on April 19th, the second on July 19th, and the third on September 20th. All of them incorporated different breeds and weren’t vaccinated because we were told that if you...

I could do that, but I’m not sure if I could do that. As long as there’s a possibility that she could have a chance, I want to try to give her that chance. She’s still responsive when you talk to her and doesn’t sit around like she’s sickly and she’s eating and drinking on her own. We do...

We did contact Ideal earlier on, when the first and second batch of chicks were having issues and we were insanely unimpressed with their response, after telling them that the first batch was dying left and right and that the second batch had a RI (keep in mind we had these at separate times...

**graphic photo warning** So things are looking uglier for this poor chicken with the lumps on her head. Checked on her this morning and one of them looks like it’s coming off? It looks like she’s going to have a hole in her head once it all dies off since it’s such a big chunk of flesh, so I’m...

she’s either like that or this She can get around a little bit but it’s only on one leg and she balances with her wings. I’ve looked into Mareks, I mentioned that when I first posted the chick with the tumors, I know those can be a symptom as well. I’ll look into a sling, that’s a great idea.

So far she’s still acting okay. Here’s what the other chick looks like that I mentioned. She’s becoming spoiled in the house since everyone was tripping over and pooping on her in the coop. (she’s not fat like she looks, got a bath and blow-dry earlier so she’s fluffy)
