    Not blue marans, so what could they be?

    They seem to have tail bones but no tail feathers ??

    Not blue marans, so what could they be?

    They were from a local feed store and they order from Ideal. They usually are very, very good at labeling and sorting their breeds. Do they even look “blue” though? Their combs are currently charcoal grey, along with their faces and legs. No leg feathers. As far as I can tell they DO have tail...

    Not blue marans, so what could they be?

    Hi! These four month old gals were supposed to be blue copper marans. I don’t think that’s the case 😅 any ideas? They both have very dark skin, single combs, clean legs. One has never had a tail and the other is now growing one in.

    Average laying age for Ameraucana mixes (Easter Eggers?)

    All of my EEs have started laying right around the five month mark. Heading into winter might cause a delay but I bet they’ll start very soon!

    Broody-ish chicken

    For anyone who might still be following, this chicken (still not laying) has taken another chicken’s egg (brown, can’t be hers) and is guarding it with her life in the coop.

    Broody-ish chicken

    Thanks for the very direct insight. It’s confusing because she makes little “nests” in the coop floor, pulls out her tummy feathers and protects the area even though, as we are all very aware 😅, there is NO egg.

    Broody-ish chicken

    Hi! I have a two year old Easter egger who has all the signs of being broody except she hasn’t been laying for over a month due to molting. Instead of hanging out in the nesting box, she stays on the lowest roost in the coop (closest to nesting boxes) nearly all day. She paces on the roost...

    Mareks?

    Sadly, I do think it is Marek’s. We lost a Faverolle at that exact age to Marek’s with the exact same symptoms. She had no response to supplements etc and passed shortly after. I’m sorry, I hope it’s not the case!

    Six week Dominique - hen or roo?

    I don’t know if this helps but I can take another one in a bit!

    Six week Dominique - hen or roo?

    Now I’m even more conflicted than before! This probably means nothing but these little chickens just got moved to the big coop and Domino roosted immediately. The cockerels I’ve had in the past never did this but like I said, could mean absolutely nothing 🤣 It’s SO sweet, I’m really hoping...

    What is wrong with my girl!?

    I’m sorry you lost your hen and that another is unwell. I’ve had this exact issue running through my flock recently and it turned out to be Marek’s. I hope this is not the case for you, but if you lose another you might consider getting the necropsy done so you can know one way or the other...
