Sadly she did not make it. I think it was too far gone. We were out yesterday and the day before so I hadn't seen her go downhill until this morning. She stopped roosting a few months ago and since then she kept getting a muckky butt... We kept washing her but then after the egg yolk happened...
Hello. My elderly buff orpington has been having some issues.
Last week I noticed yolk coming out of her behind... There's been a couple of shellless eggs too. She's had a pretty muckky butt this week.
This morning she's all hunched up and has poop all over her. It's coming out like brown...
On the white chicken...I know it's comb is very red but I'm not seeing any rooster feathering...is anything able to tell me if that's normal on white roosters? For them to show pointy feathers later?
Hello. I've added some new pics. 2 weeks on.
1: very sure that's a roo
2: it's comb is now quiet red ... what do you think about the shape of the feathers? Because of the pattern in them they look very pointy.
3: pretty confident this is a pullet
4: pretty confident this is a pullet
5: no...
Hello, we hatched these from a box of eggs off Craigslist. They're a barnyard mix which makes it difficult because I don't know what breed I'm looking at to know if it's normal for them to have big combs.
Here's my guess... what do you think?
#1 - Roo
#2 - Roo... but I Really want it to be...
Did you get eggs yet? About a year ago I had the same problem. I put up a camera and saw that a mouse family was rolling my eggs out of the nest boxes and out of the coop! We redesigned our coop/nest boxes and within a couple of days we were getting our full quota of eggs!
