Hey all, Just yesterday I noticed one of my two young Langshans (they are around 5 months old, and I suspect this one is a cockerel but who knows) was acting low and keeping his right eye closed. His crop was also completely empty. Upon further inspection, the eye looked milky and watery, so I...

Hello everyone! I have 5 different D'Anvers cockerels, about 8 weeks old, all different colourings! They're quite sweet, and i purchased them straight-run from a exotic bird breeder, who's D'Anvers stock is wonderful quality. There are two Quail ones, a Black, a very pretty Silver Quail, and a...

As a fellow chicken owner within city limits, I know many people share the frustration of not being able to own a rooster, much less keep one to breed or keep order in a flock, as it is in a rooster's nature to crow, and select few bitter neighbors, and the city lawmakers, would rather not deal...

I've just got my new batch of chicks for the year, and unfortunately it's clear this little guy is /not/ a pullet, no matter what he was sold as. He's a little over 4 weeks old, so still a baby, and is not quite fully feathered yet. He isn't crowing yet, but is acting like he'll be a good...

Just a bit ago, I found my serama pullet hiding behind some pallets, limping severely and not putting any weight on her left leg, which she is holding stretched out in front of her (think splayed legs), to the extreme. She looked very weak, and kept her eyes closed, breathing heavily. I've...

I just purchased my first two Turkens two days ago, (a black and a white, straight run), and yesterday I noticed the black one has what looks like a raised scab-like injury(?) on the back of his bare head/neck. And today, it is darker and looks more like a wound than it did. The naked necks are...

I have a Cornish game hen, who fell ill a few weeks ago. I identified the cause most likely as worms, and treated her. She improved within a couple days, and seemed to be back to normal. However, fast forward a few days, and she started the classic 'walking like a penguin', and symptoms usually...

I have a 4 month old, buff, bantam brahma cockerel, who needs a new home, as Spokane Valley city ordinance does not allow roosters at all, and we have a neighbor who constantly calls the city on us. He's a beautiful little guy, purebred, and not aggressive. Gets along great with our flock of...

I posted a few weeks ago about a Brahma pullet I have, who suddenly developed a limp that slowly got worse. I thoroughly checked for signs of bumblefoot, and didn't see anything alarming, so I assumed she had landed wrong and broken or sprained something. I give her half a baby aspirin every...

I have a Brahma pullet, about 4 months old, but almost full size. Yesterday I noticed she really didn't want to put weight on her left leg. I've checked her over but can find no injury or major cause? From what I can tell, I think it may be her lower leg or foot that's hurting her, as she...

Just got my first Brahmas a few months ago, two Lights and one Buff Bantam. The Lights are lovely birds, quite sweet, and I suspect they will both turn out to be hens! 1#, Beckett When they were chicks: (Although big ones!) #2, Barlowe,

I have a love for these little guys! My black Cochin bantam, (or Pekin) is about three months old, and super mellow! If anyone else wants to show off their Cochin Bantams feel free, I'd love to see different varieties! (I'm quite new to this breed).:jumpy

I have a young Cochin, whom I am hoping to breed when he is older. (He's about three months old, so pretty sure of gender, but not completely certain!) Does crossing a Cochin rooster and Serama hen produce good results? My hen is about two years-ish old, and a really good bird. She's a pure...

So i have a beautiful little chick, about three months old. I purchased her from a local store, out of a assorted 'bantam' bin. When she was bitty, I did a bit of research, and she looked exactly like a Old English Game chick. However, i know the OEG's are split into two varieties, (Carlisle and...

Hello everyone, it's really good to have found this website again! I love chickens, all shaped and sizes, and spend a ridiculous amount of time absorbing all the knowledge I possibly can about different breeds and other chicken things. Unfortunately, there are few people who would elect to...

Bought a few unsexed and unspecified 'bantam' chicks about a week ago. This one is very, very small, large eyes, and darker colored legs, black and white feathers on the wings. Probably about a week old? I though Sebright at first, but I am unsure, as the lacing doesn't look right for a silver...

Bought a straight run, unspecified bantam chick, unsure of it's breed? Mostly black coloring with some white patches and feathered feet, very small, about a week old. I though Croad Langshan bantam? Or possibly a black Pekin/Cochin bantam? If anyone can tell me it's breed I'd be very glad. Thank...
