She is likely molting. It's that time of year. Give her time, the feathers will grow back

I did briefly consider this possibility. Suppose I would indeed need to get it checked by a vet to know for certain..

I'm having a run of bad luck this season with my Cornish cross. I received a shipment of 60 healthy, lively chicks, all eager to eat and drink as soon as I got them into the stall. I usually start them on probiotics/electrolytes for 1 day then switch to normal water. This time around, I had...

Was just gonna say those look like pullets. Glad that they are :)

Thank you for this! I went ahead and treated their water with the severe outbreak dosage. I'm hoping I can save them In time... I should have known better. I'm not new to coccidia, I just thought I was two steps ahead this time. (Also the other odd symptoms threw me off) ((on a 2nd note, I've...

Ahh, I'm an idiot. Everything really does point to coccidia. I hope I can manage to treat them and save most of them... Here is to hoping the investment doesn't go down the drain!

I'll see what else I can do for coccidia, but what about the neurological issues?

I have a batch of 60 Cornish cross chicks that are now about 1 month old. I just got them moved from the barn to outside. They are sharing a "chicken tractor" with other regular chicks of a similar age or older. (Some of the other chicks were also raised alongside these Cornish and just got...

You've done such a fantastic job on all of these! Thank you kindly for taking the time. I absolutely love them. Hope you enjoy your summer!

Likely because they were mislabeled and are not in fact, sapphire gems. Sorry about that :/ TSC is known for mislabeling their chick bins.

Lol, I finally got lucky and picked up 2 Blue copper Maran roos. They're now breeding with the hens!

Do you happen to have updated pics of them fully grown?

I learned that you can somewhat tell if they will have any blue/black/splash at all by checking the wings. Not always can you tell this young, but the light grey was a dead giveaway.

The EE chick with the light grey wings looked very similar to this! Unfortunately she is no longer with us, and I don't have any pics on hand of her

Over all, the EE chick with the light greyish wings turned out to be a buff and blue colored girl. The other one was black and buff looking. And the BlRW was indeed a blue! (Not splash or black). Sadly I don't have pictures on hand to show off. But they do look similar to one of the previous...

Female.. Not sure of breed but has the traits of a d'Uccle

Yep!!! My mistake on the climate bit! 😅 I recalled reading a long while ago about climate but I'm pretty sure it was exactly in regards to how much water is needed, lol. I actually didn't know that darker or blue eggs required less humidity. But it also makes sense since I tend to see smaller...

Humidity can be pretty flexible, but the goal is to increase the air cell. More humidity means the air cell will maintain size or barely increase size while low humidity will increase the air cell size greatly. It's not super critical to have the humidity stable 24/7. Here is a general guide to...

I'd guess that it could be s blue maran? Where did you get the chick?

Leghorn, Australorp, Easter Egger, any of the production breeds (production red, production blue, etc) Novegens, sex links
