I have 3 Easter Egger cockerels, 2 blue and 1 black with leakage. If you are looking to add the blue gene to your flock, here you go. They were hatched on 4/24/14 and are beautiful. They are Ameraucana breeding but with the leakage I will not be able to use them for my plans. If you would...
A few days ago my sweet little roo went blind in his right eye. He is compensating by turning his head all sorts of directions to see everything with his left eye. I am certain this is due to being pecked by another, slightly older chick and that it has caused damage to a nerve.
My question...
I have recently noticed my rooster had purple in his comb, which I know means lack of oxygen. He was started on Tylan for a total of 8 days and everyone else was locked up with medicated water. He improved, but the past two mornings I have noticed it there again and in the afternoon it is...
I purchased a hen on Sunday and had her in quarantine. She steadily downgraded from the time I brought her home. Yesterday while checking on her I heard a nasty cough sound. She sounded as if she had some sort of foam in her throat. She has since been put down. She also seemed to have had...

I recieved chicks on Friday of last week and they were so cold. Six of the 14 died in shipping. Since I have gotten rid of the meat birds, but my Light Brahma and the three Speckled Sussex have been sneezing. It was not much at first. I added three more chicks to the brooder as well. As I...
I have two 12-week-old Millefleur dUccles, a hen and a rooster. The hen has had some issue with her right leg sliding out from under her a bit while on the roosting pole. At 5-weeks, when I got them it was minor, but then all of a sudden after putting the two out one day in a pen to enjoy the...

I received these 4 bantams from a friend who had no idea what kind they are and barely knew their ages. Please help me! I would love to know their breeds. Only one of the 3 hens has started laying that I am positive of, though a different egg has appeared.

I have 8 eggs that I set under a broody hen. Six of them hatched on day 20, 2 are showing no signs. I am wondering how long do I wait to do something and what do I do?
My chickens free range all day each day unless I am going to be gone from the house and then I have a pen for them to be kept safely in. I put out supplemental feed and am wondering, I have been feeding them most recently food labeled for Broilers and Layers. Southern States offers a food...
