    Any predictions for how these crossed chicks may look fully feathered/grown?

    Hey! I’ve got a couple videos with a 2 week old update on the chicks! First vid is all of them and their feathers/features, second is a side by side of what I think may be a cockerel, I’d love if anyone has insight into that.

    Let's talk Golden Cuckoo Marans!

    He's not a GCM but he looks a bit like what I'm seeing the roos look like. He's a buff orpington cuckoo marans cross.

    Any predictions for how these crossed chicks may look fully feathered/grown?

    We recently allowed a broody hen to hatch some of her own eggs; she is a blue laying easter egger and the rooster sire is a cuckoo marans buff orpington cross. The chicks all look a little different from each other and I'm really curious to hear any predictions for their phenotypes. Also, if you...

    How to grit chicks?

    I've got some 1 week old chicks being mother raised and I'm planning on starting to give them some mealworms/insects soon so I'd like to start incorporating grit into their diet. I've heard about over gorging so I'm worried about just putting it out for them to free feed on (I put out some in a...

    HELP! Sudden death!

    If any start to display symptoms, quarantine and clean/disinfect that coop. It could have just been a seizure, has she had issues previously?

    Limping Pullet

    Iit is probably internal you should wait and see if symptoms progress, it could just be a strain.

    Sick turkey poult, clicking sound, swelling cheeks, shaking head, scissor beak. Help?!

    His defect may leave him susceptible to certain respiratory Illnesses, I am glad that he has a good caretaker. I knew a chicken who displayed similar symptoms, and although he did not reach his projected size, he lived a long healthy life. Also, he is adorable!

    Bubba needs help

    Definitely use vetricine, my roo got a piece of his comb torn, and while it took a month or so to heal, it recovered well although the end of his comb has a funny shape.

    Sick turkey poult, clicking sound, swelling cheeks, shaking head, scissor beak. Help?!

    It sounds like he has some sort of birth defect or bone growth issue, it does not sound like some kind of disease or injury. The breathing issue is most likely related to the neck spasms. I’m glad to know that he deals well though. I don’t know if you will be able to do anything except try to...

    Broody Hen Won't Walk/Can't Stand Up

    She sounds weak, it could just be the heat and the fact that she has lost weight to broodiness...but I would keep her in a cool place with access to fattening, energy rich foods (hard boiled egg yolk, oatmeal, crushed almonds, etc.) and plenty of cold clean water. Also, you could humor her with...
