Hello! I'm not really sure what's going on with my young rooster, Atticus. About a week ago his tail flopped to the side. I asked about it and someone said it could be wry tail. Today, he was walking around like this (see pictures). We've seen him walk this way before but this morning it has...

I was almost at the point of putting them back in the run when I saw someone post about a snake taking a young chick.😳 I'm going to give them another week or 2 and make sure we do everything we can to prevent such a thing from happening. I know you can't prevent EVERYTHING, but want to do what...

Thank you all so much. I've noticed that my newest chicks I bought which are called Midnight Majesty Maran also have feathers on their legs. I appreciate all the answers!😊

Thank you. I forgot to mention. One has feathers on her legs and feet the other does not. And their eyes are so different.

We were given these birds and were told they are copper marans. I've never had this breed before, but the differences in appearance stand out to me. One has a much larger and floppy comb, smaller "ear lobes" (please give me correct name if I'm wrong), and large wattles. The second one has a...
