I have a small flock of Silkies and Polish, confined to large chicken run. We have two cockerels who are always fighting with each other(not with the other roos) over breeding or just in general. They are brothers. We know we have too many roosters and are rehoming one of the brothers and a...

Thanks for the help!

here's the rest of the pictures

Hey ya'll! We recently got some turkey poults and they are now close to 5 weeks old, except for the 3 Blue slates, who are about 3-4 weeks old. We have 3 Bronze, one red bournon and 3 Blue Slates.I don't know how old you are able to start sexing them based off Physical features, but I found out...

we have one week old polish Tolbunt Chicks.They developed bloody diarrhea today. They are already on a medicated feed, and electrolyte water. A few of them have had pasty butt problems, but we've done our best to clean it whenever we notice.What should we do?

I found a stargaze yesterday. It died withing a few hours of being discovered. the one that seemed to be improving is now getting worse. The Area Around Her vent is wet, red and a little swollen.I've been feeding her by hand(mixing feed and electrolyte water, then putting the mixture against...

Yes, we have contacted the hatchery and are waiting for a reply. We ordered from Purlet poultry because they had the breeds we needed, but next time I would prefer to order from Mc murray. The remining 'healthy' chicks seem to be okay, but keeping very close watch. We are currently feeding...

So, another chuck has began displaying the same symptoms... she isn't fully alert as the other sick chick, but unable to move on her own. So far out of 18 sent, 3 dead on arrival, 3 died within 24 hours of arrival, two currently sick and seperated.

Hopefully you do just have a small runt! We hatched out a small Barred rock/Americana/Maran mix a few weeks ago(she'said about 6 weeks right now) she had splayed leg and balance issues so we had to isolate her from the already nearly a week old EEs we had gotten fom tsc. She needed help...

Hello! I want sure if I should post it in the disease forum or here, so I'm posting this here. We recently ordered 15(the minimum) Assortment color Polish chicks from Purely Poultry hatchery. They arrived Wednesday morning and we got a call the moment the got off the truck(huge thank you to our...

Yeah, I would say at least the dark one is a cockerel

unfortunately, she passed away overnight. We were planning on doing the surgery today because y mom didn't want to do it without pain meds. I tried everything I could leading up to the surgery, and she seem to be doing better until I had to put her back in the coop last night(we didn't have a...

I just went and checked on her. She pooped, but it's all watery and white.She does lay eggs and her abdo men feels normal. It's not super squishy but it's not enlarged, hard or tight. He tail position is slightly down. She is drinking water on her own now.

Do I give her olive oil as an option like the water or make sure she drinks it by giving it to her through a syringe?

We have a 2yro Americana cross hen with what Im 95% certain is an impacted crop. I found her outside just standing with her wings drooped, eyes opening and closing as if in pain and did nothing when I went to pick her up. She's a friendly hen but usually runs if you walk up to her. I examined...

Also watching the thread! Hope they hatch!

That sounds interesting! Maybe it'll bee similar to breeding frizzled silkies/sizzles? I'm still learning about how genetics work with Silkies and frizzles and just breeding genetics in general so please correct me if I'm wrong but I'd think you might get 50-75% Brahma feathered birds and 25-50%...

That's really interesting! I'm getting into breeding silks as well! Got some slike and polish tolbunt eggs in the incubator right now!

Do any of them have 5 toes abdblack skin? If not then they aren't silkies. Adorable babies!
