    I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

    These look like first generation Cinnamon Queens. A cross between RIR and RIW, first generation created by Cackle Hatchery. These are all pullets. The roosters are a different color (sorry the color won't come to mind). To the best of my knowledge, Cacklehatchery is still selling first...

    One Hour old chick with prolapsed vent?

    Now that makes sense! Thanks! I did tuck it together gently with a Prep H wipe. Keeping her slightly older, and way too inquisitive, sister away from it is the most labor intensive thing right now. She keeps trying to help the younger one get rid of this dangling thing. Such a help...not...

    One Hour old chick with prolapsed vent?

    Hi Everyone... I have a Lavender Aracauna (yes, a true Aracauna) chick that was pipped and zipped about an hour ago. She was pretty tight in her egg and her pip was high on the large end of the egg. When she came out, I noticed a little red sac hanging from, what I though was, her vent. It...

    HEAT RASH? WARNING! GRAPHIC PICS!!!

    Hi, Eggcessive, Now, even the avian vet didn't come up with that! Thanks! We're NPIP certified in WA state, so I'll call the state office tomorrow. I'm happy to have isolated my roo on Sunday, not having any idea what was going on. We'd been gone the week before, but our farm sitter is...

    HEAT RASH? WARNING! GRAPHIC PICS!!!

    Thanks! No, no other symptoms. The hens are spotty about laying eggs right now. A few are broody, some just lie down and act broody. Day b4 yesterday, I pulled everything out of their coop, power washed it from top to bottom, including roost bars. Sprayed bleach solution from top to bottom...

    HEAT RASH? WARNING! GRAPHIC PICS!!!

    My Bantam Lavender Orpington roo's feet are very swollen. I started treating him for Bumblefoot, but my Avian vet said it doesn't look/act like it. Anyway, in picking him up to inspect all over, I noticed this nasty fire-red rash on his chest. It has yellow scabs on it and looks painful...

    Chicken Management Spreadsheet Suite

    I would love this in any format compatible with iOS 8 (I think). I've been trying to get a good figure on costs, especially food, but either forget to document dates, or it changes by how old my chicks, hens and roosters are. I went from 10 laying hens to 85 chicks, hens and roosters in a...

    Lucky Pickens Bantam Cochins

    I was pretty nervous with the first batch I ordered. The USPS doesn't handle the way we would. Roslyn wraps them perfectly, though and there never was a problem. Definitely look into Lucky Pickins. I have a really colorful chicken yard

    Help! Young pullet brutalized by young cockerel

    Thanks, Eggcessive. I'm pleased with her progress. Sometimes she likes the mash, other days she just wants dry. She's great at picking through her food to see if there's something special in it. No, she hasn't had any treats through this ordeal. I can walk my fingers down her neck then down...

    Help! Young pullet brutalized by young cockerel

    Update on Rosie with a Twist --- I'm happy to say that Rosie is healing. I'm not willing to put her outside, yet. Seattle winter has settled in and the temps are between 40-60F, but the wind and pouring rain are miserable right now. Her stools are soft, but not runny anymore, and even the...

    Swedish Flower Hen Thread

    I have 8 SFs. They were juvies when I got them and 2 looked like cockerels, 6 very much hens. Long story short, at about 8 months everything changed...pretty much overnight. The 2 cockerels that were id'd earlier were growing rapidly and their feathering is beautiful. One morning, I'm out...
