Top chick looks like a rhode island red
Bottom chick looks like an ameraucana
Were they not labeled at all?
They are not Brahma, Brahma's have feathered legs.
I have about 15 guineas, and they barely ever eat my seeds or veggies - they forage in the grass for bugs, and they like a bit of cracked corn. They are VERY low maintenance, and fun to watch. and the noise doesn't bother me at all, I like it.
I had some hatch out yesterday - 12 of them, so cute! I was lucky to find them before my dogs, now they are in a pen.
The mother sits on them more than my hens do - but if I creep up on them I will catch them out now and again - they are probably coming out, but guineas are much more secretive...
I am not sure what my chickens had - some sort of mycoplasma, or bronchitis, with bubbly eyes, loud breathing and sneezing.
They are all pretty much better now, and it has been about 3 weeks since any symptoms - apart from one hen, who is still sneezing, no other symptoms though. and one hen...
I have tried olive leaf in their water, which is an antiviral and antibiotic and some vitamis I got at TSC, most of them are over it - but the Marans head never recovered. I think MG stands for mycoplasma something or other. I am going to try the Tylan 50 antibiotics next, but really I am...
I have a cuckoo marans with the exact same symptoms - actually her neck is a little worse, and sometimes she walks around in circles - a lot of the time she holds it completely upside down - I would cull her, but otherwise she is happy and eats and drinks with no help from me.
All my chickens...
I really need help, amost all of my birds are very sick, I need to know what to do. should I cull? will I ever be able to eat the eggs again? They are mainly pets, so this is very upsetting
1) What type of bird , age and weight.
All types, chicks and adults
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
It...
Hi everyone.
I have had my chickens for a year, and have had no health problems, until now.
I bought some new chicks about a month ago from a local lady, one of them died about a week later, now all my chickens are sick, apart from one or two.
the symptoms are, clear discharge from the eyes and...
I have 2 mini dachshunds (actually they are my inlaws, who live next door. They leave the adult chickens alone because they are bigger than them, and they are cowards - but the have killed at least 10 chicks, all my magpie ducks babies, several guineas and my priced OEGB bantam.
I have a pyr -...
I am giving away this rooster - to anyone who lives close enough to me to come and get it. I live just outside huntsville Texas.
The rooster is just under a year old, he can be picked up and handled, but he can be roosterish on occasion.
I thought this brahma mix might be a hen - but lately I am noticing a few rooish characteristics, like pecking at the ground and calling the hens over, a few suspicious hackle feathers and a very deep cluck! what do you guys think?
My two year old doesn't care about being clawed for some reason, she will just pick him up - actually he is very good at being a roo, protective and kind to the hens, just don't be a human, and definitely don't turn you back on him, or run past him!
this is my light brahma pullet at about 8 weeks
this is my brahma roo - at about 4 months, he has a huge comb, he is hateful and mean, and if anyone wants him they are welcome!
I got them from a woman of craigslist - she said she had ameraucana's so I went and got them, and I am pretty ignorant of breeds so I believed her - She had what she called a mixture of other breeds, and she wasn't sure what a lot of them were, but they are all pure bred - so I said stick a...
I bought some ameraucana's the other day, and a silkie and a cochin, which you can see in the pic - but I have no idea about the little bantam that hitched a ride home in the box with them.
He/she is very cute, anyone have any ideas?
Also can ameraucana chicks be white - one of them - in the...
I am welsh, lived in wales for 32 years, and I didn't like that comment about the "prince of wales", he actually has a home in Llandovery, not far from where lived, and he was always extremely friendly and "outdoorsy", he did a lot of work himself in the garden and with his animals - obviously...
I really feel for you and I am sorry - my mother and father in law have 2 nonsense, their total so far is 3 magpie ducks, 3 guinea keets, 3 buff orpington chickens - which are pretty big and take a lot to kill - my 150 great pyrenees has never killed anything and the chickens sleep under the...
