Hi. What has been the protein level you've been giving them? Electrolites?
I have a 3.5 month old who's been suffering from wry neck...I'm giving her suppliments of poly-vi-sol (childrens liquid vitamins-by Enfamil) and trying to boost her protein intake along with some additional grains. I...
Definately not black spanish..... I'd say that they are either Narragansetts or a mix of sorts.... here are 3 links to pictures of a black spanish, broad breasted bronze and also a narragansett...
I've been told that heritage breeds take longer to mature to get to the appropriate weight for butcher....at least 9 months.
I have 14 month old bourbon red hens that look like they'd butcher out as a large chicken....lol. Probably 10-15# max... but the Toms are a bit larger.....certainly not...

No, wing is not gone. It was a hawk though....gotta be. Today TWICE they tried to get another.... I saw a bunch of feathers in the back range yard which look like they came from one of my white guineas...... and just not 10 minutes ago I saw a hawk fly by my office window and I went...
Hi. I went out this afternoon to see feathers scattered all over the back field area.....looked and saw one of my light brahmas dead . Below is a graphic pic of her backside......just wondering if a hawk would do this? Or do you think it could have been another animal? It doesn't appear that...
