Outcross throwback Buff Orpington it is! I guess some other factors that kept me thinking she was a different breed is she was originally much more skiddish than the white-legged Orps, and she feathered in almost completely before the white legged ones had any feathers. Now the only way I can...

I definitely got them from Meyer, but since they were an assortment, the breeds were not specified, and I've been stumped about this yellow-legged buff girl since the beginning. I must have dreamed that Meyer announced they were carrying Buff Rocks, because I vividly remember thinking AH HA! I...

These chickens were part of a Brown Egg Layer Assortment hatched around July 5th (6. months old now). I got 4 buff orpingtons, 1 buff rock (I think, she feathered in WAY faster than the orps and has yellow legs), 3 australorps, 1 jersey giant, and 6 white rocks. Most, if not all of them are laying.

I would probably try electrolytes (either for chickens, or pedialyte for human babies). Mix in liquid baby vitamins with no iron and liquid vitamin E if you have them (like the treatment for wry neck). Then use an eyedropper to drop a few drops (maybe 4 drops, not much) in her mouth. Be CAREFUL...

I say pullet. The comb would be showing pink by now if roo. Quote:

I have 3 buttercups, 2 pullets and 1 cockerel. I think the non-cold-hardiness is because their combs are large. Protect their combs in the winter. Mine have some strong personalities. They are smaller than the rest of the flock, but near the top of the pecking order (and sometimes mean to the...

I just can't quit smiling since I saw your duck pictures. They are SO CUTE!!!!

I received her in my 15 Brown Egg Layer assortment (+1 meal maker) from Meyer Hatchery. I received 4 black chicks. Someone suggested this one might be a Jersey Giant since she is feathering in so much slower than the rest (really all of the other 15 are mostly feathered, with a few that have a...

Is this normal? This chick is 5 weeks old and only has a few feathers.

I had 2 with wry neck. I went to Walgreens and got all of the stuff listed on this blog http://www.bucknrunranch.com/blog/2011/11/02/wry-neck-in-baby-chick-video/ and fed it to them with an eyedropper (also purchased at Walgreens). Both recovered within 12 hours and now I can't even tell which...

Quote: YOU'RE RIGHT! Goodie goodie goodie. I have two ~10 week old Buff Orpingtons and I adore them. Now I'm holding out hope that my 3 weeks old are BO's (except that one that has full-blown wings and tail, it must be something else).

I'm not 100% positive since I'm not home to check, but I think they have single combs. They shouldn't be Buff Orpingtons because they have yellow legs, not white. I guess they're probably going to darken up more red than buff and end up being Golden Buffs or New Hampshire Reds. I have not heard...

Quote: LynnEBC - You're on the same page as others who have said they think my black ones are Black Australorps and the white ones are White Rocks (since they're brown eggs layers). Now the buff ones all have yellow legs, so that rules out BO's, so I think I've narrowed it down to Buff...

Here are pictures of my 3-week-old Meyer Brown Egg Layer Assortment. Any new guesses on which breeds I received? I'm most curious about what everyone thinks the ones that are feathering in buff are? One of them has a LOT more wing feathers and tail feathers than the other 5, so she might be...

Quote: Don't worry, I thought your chicks were adorable when I saw your post originally!

Quote: I'm so sorry too!!!! I started to reply to your post earlier, but didn't know what to say other than "sorry" - it's amazing how attached we get to those little chickens, and how heartbreaking it is to have them in pain. Hugs.

OH NO Poor thing! Hoping she can hang in there until the swelling goes down. I wonder if there's any anti-inflamitory you could use?

Two of my black baby chicks arrived very weak, and maybe with wry neck. I did exactly what this person describes on her blog http://www.bucknrunranch.com/blog/2011/11/02/wry-neck-in-baby-chick-video/ (pedialyte, Vitamin E, baby multi vitamins, and Selenium) mixed up and dropped into their mouths...

hopefulpeeps, I'm not *sure* because they were an "assortment" but I'm thinking the light yellow ones that are feathering in with white featers are most likely White Rocks, and several people have said they think my black ones are Black Australorps, so that just leaves the darker yellow/buff...
