Thank you! That makes so much sense. I kept looking at an online chicken genetics calculator and the one photo similar to him had that exact difference. I can’t be sure of the game hens genetics either, since we bought them out of a …well, rough situation for them (feathers picked one, ones gone...

Hi everyone! We had some chicks hatch about a month and an half ago. I must admit the science of genetics has always eluded me, so I’m wondering if someone versed in it can help (I read briefly about yellow leg color being recessive but it got incredibly complicated very quickly!). I know...

Good news everyone! I brought her in for about 5 days and nights. Gave her chick feed, watered down yolk and electrolytes. She’d stay inside most of the time with me at my desk (WFH) and I played chick noises for her all day. We’d take trips outside several times a day for her interact with her...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Speckled Sussex, 3-4 days old, smaller than the others 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Limping favoring right leg. Uses were wings to balance herself, hobble along. Leg shakes a little...

Just circling back to this thread for anyone in the future reading: She was just a weird chicken. She grew into the biggest hen we have, is healthy, bossy, and broody. lol.

The first snowfall!

Be mindful of the heat, y'all. My girl was too big & feathery to deal with the heat today. I'm so unbearably broken-hearted. She was the first chicken to ever lay us an egg, on the first of this year. She was very curious and sweet, and I always thought she'd make a good mom but never had the...

Tagging on here from the contest page! My sweet roo Zumi (Montezuma). He's very docile, yet protective. He also really wants to be a dad or something, because I've caught him sitting on eggs multiple times now!

@Rocky_Road_Poultry you have just about the sweetest looking silkies I've ever seen. Those girls are just cottonball perfection and that is a very handsome man!

Breed: Bearded white silkie Sex: Rooster Age: 11 months old Info: I have no idea if my boy Montezuma is breed-standard but hoping to find out. I love him dearly! He’s our only silkie and rooster. All his ladies are twice his size, ha!

Just like SmileKing, I also have 2 sapphire gem girls and they look like mine! Also from Hoover via TSC. Don't be confused by their behavior - they're naturally a bit pushy if mine are any example of the breed temperment!

Eating, drinking, roosting, dust bathing, taking treats, running away when trying to pick her up.... normal chicken behavior. Normal poops, none of the usual symptoms of Cocci (and honestly, if this were cocci she'd definitely have passed by now, 4+ weeks on). I'm not concerned about her ever...

Hi all! One of my buff Orpington pullets has been acting strangely for a while now. At around 4-5weeks we noticed that she seemed to have labored breathing. We separated her and get her a round of penicillin but she showed no improvement. We also noticed when she sits on the ground, her butt is...
