I am glad to be a new member of BYC. When I was growing up we had 24 Rhode Island Reds. They were my pets. Now I'm all grown up and have a small but growing flock of my own. I currently have 1 Red Rock and 2 White Rocks. My White Rocks are rather large. Hence the member name CannonBall. My son named them. They weigh at least 12 lbs. each. But I have some concerns. They eat good, poop good, drink good, but one back fires. She makes a "Baaak" sound then poop shoots out the back. She has been doing this for several weeks. Can't hear any wheezing, except when you pick her up. She also has not feathered out around her backside. Don't understand that either. We gave them oyster shell, Diatomaceous Earth mixed in with food, electrolytes in water, and plenty of food. What have we done wrong? Never had these things happen with my RIRs. PLEASE HELP! Sorry I am new at this and posted this in the new member section.
