Hello All, Do you have a vet for sick chickens? Do they euthanize? If you get a necropsy, does this get reported to the state? Does the Maryland Department of Agriculture investigate or send someone to come and look or test your flock? Thank you,

Hello All, I am curious if there are breeders who show / exhibit large fowl Partridge Cochins located on the Eastern Part of the U.S? I found a great one on the west coast but that is too far. Looking for breeders not the large hatcheries. Photo for attention. Thank you

Shari Did you end up breeding Blue Laced Red Cochin? If not have you found anyone else who did? Very curious, I love the concept. Thank you KARL

Is anyone raising Standard size Mille Fleur Cochins? Thank you

Amazondocs2, thank you so much for your response. I have 2 hens now. I thoroughly enjoy their personalities. I found mine at Ideal Poultry https://www.idealpoultry.com/product/1598/44 They sell day old sexed chicks.

This cute little white pullet was sent to me as a day old chick as a Jubilee Orpington. When her wings did not change colors I realized she must be another breed. Would love your help identifying her. She was born April 15th (a month old). These are from different angles, different light...

Thank you so much Coach 732 for the information. This is truly helpful.

Wyorp Rock, thank you for your response. So this has been the same way for a few days. No worse and not getting better. I am new to this. How do you check for lice or mites?

Any clue what this is on two of my chicks. The chick arrived on Wednesday ( I did not see it until yesterday) and then I noticed on the other chick I already had on Thursday. Thank you,

This chick was born on May 6th and shipped. She arrived on Wednesday. I just noticed this little spot on her that appears like a skin irritation. Any thoughts or ideas what this could be? I am new to chicks. Thank you,

Thank you CHICKENS REALLY/ Crazy Call Duck Momma. You are correct. That was the issue. I cleaned her up this AM. She is eating and drinking now for the first time since her arrival yesterday morning. This was the best link I could find for day old chick pasty butt issues for those following...

I received my first chicks two weeks ago. 13 of the 14 are doing great. The one White Crested Blue Polish did not drink or eat but simply cried. I tried to give her cooked yolk but she was interested. The hatchery mailed/shipped a replacement chick. I paid for the other two for the minimum 3...

Thank you for your reply. I am new to this. I should have said another female chick the same age would be added in 3 weeks or so. Wasn't certain if they are less than 2 months old would adding a single female chick of the same age would be problematic.

Hello All, I received 14 baby chicks last week. One of them died. The hatchery is sending a replacement plus 2 more for the minimum required and heat purposes They will be two weeks younger than the 13 I already have. How long before I can combine them? I may have an opportunity to add one...

Hello All, I am brand new chick owner. They are adorable. I am curious how often do you pick them up. How long do you hold them in order to get them used to human contact. They are less than a week old. I do not want to stress them but I also want them to get more used to me. When I change...

Curious if there are any US breeders of silver Brakels? Thank you,

I love the Tolbunt Polish.

Great. Thank you so much for your response. Were the Polish raised as chicks with the others or were they introduced later? How many Polish do you have?

I am new to chickens. I read about varying sizes of chickens as well as crested breeds and non-crested breeds can be a problem (not crested pecking at the crest of the Polish). I was not certain if this was relating to when you adding to an established flock with adult hens or is it different...

I appreciate the clarification. Is there a standard size Mille Fleur cochin?
