Well, she progressively got worse. I took her to the vet. They’re going to go ahead and run x-rays on her right now but he really thinks that it’s Mareks. I’m at a loss for words and absolutely heartbroken.

Any other thoughts? Definitely the hip area. I am moving her to a smaller kennel as she is in a bigger pop up run and I think she has over done it as it seems to be a bit more a problem for her to bring her leg forward. She paces of course when she wants to come out and is trying to be too...

They get pellets, scratch, fruits and veggies and bugs a 1-2x times a week. She is defecating, some smaller than normal ones and not as much frequency as I would expect over the last few days. Haven’t noticed any cecum poo either?

Hey everyone, hopefully someone can give me some tips or suggestions! One of my girls has been limping/wobbly when she walks. I noticed it 2 days ago and brought her inside. She can put wait on it but has a hard time pivoting to the side and that’s when she gets wobbly and loses her balance...

Thank you all for the tips and putting me a bit at ease! I have let them out in the yard multiple times as long as me my husband or the dogs are outside! They love it so much it makes me so happy when they get to go forage and run around for some enrichment! I can’t wait for the spring as our...

I did not know about the redness coorelation with egg laying! Thanks again! This is my first year obviously. 🤣 I’m so attached to my kiddos and had her the longest sooooo happy she is a she!

You all just made my day!!! Thank you so much! All of sudden those came in so fast and got so red I was worried! It definately has to be her eggs then. Thank you everyone for responding!

Born in May, bought as a pullet, everyone guessed pullet but sure enough it’s my luck I think she may be a he! These waddles and the comb just really blooomed out of no where in the last couple of weeks. The other reason I thought she has been a pullet as my roo constantly dances around her and...

Update pics in a few weeks, and front shots of the comb and folks will be able to help you out!

Pullet!

Thank you so much! Lol a few weeks ago I thought they would be boys because of some characteristics. Here is a pick of the white and the blue next to each other as chicks! I thought it might be a splash or blue when the feathers started coming in.

Thank you! Was crazy when it started turning from white to the blue color. I hope she is a she! name is Tuna and the White is Mayo, then pickle and pepper. 🤣 That being said Tuna behaviorally acts like a roo, but I have seen other young pullets act that way so I don’t know!

Thanks it’s ok! Just impatient!

4 silkies coming up on 12 weeks now. What is the blue/greyish looking silkie? Was bought as a white but clearly not. Thank you!

Yeah I rehomed the Cochin awhile back.

Follow up at 12 weeks what do ya think? Pretty sure the one black silkie is a cockerel. And what is my greyish looking silkie? Bought as a white when I got it. I hope pullet but behavior wise I don’t know.

I agree with the heads poking through! And we have cats around the neighborhood. I texted my neighbor again and he doesn’t lock his in the coop at night. These are some big fat rats so I assume maybe that’s why he has never had an attack in 8 years with his chickens. Thank you!

Thank you so much! Lol I rigged up more snap traps in boxes randomly in the run and closed it off again so curious to check the cameras in a bit just to see how many will be running around. I have caught a few but over 6 months not two in one night. ☺️

I have 2 large bait stations for the past few weeks but they haven’t really eaten the bait

Oh they can fit through it just fine! Since 3 where in there last night on camera when I looked. I placed snap traps with peanut better in the the larger closed off run at like 10pm last night and got 2 out of 3 in traps. Another question when do chicks start to roost? Mine all still snuggle...
