Easter egger, or Speckled Sussex, or maybe gold laced or silver laced wyandottes. The Wyandottes go broody, and are sweet, and sassy. Easter Eggers in my experience are beutiful, lay pretty good, are great mothers, lay beautiful eggs, and are sweet, they like to be handled. Barnevelder are...

Not sure, but you can tell by how they act. If they strut kind of then it is more likely a rooster. Hens will just walk.

Thank you for your help. We were going to cull him anyway if he did not get better, because we did not think anyone would want him. We had another young rooster, so we do not need two of them. Again thank you so much for your help! I hope is is not Mareks!

We were going to send her but she was such a good chicken we wanted to give her a proper burial. He acted like this before she got sick. The main concern is not just the comb, he does not crow, protect the flock, or anything a rooster should do. He has been like this for two months. We are...

Our hen that died, she was molting as well. But she would not eat, could not stand, and was weak in the eyes. Which could have been a number of things.

He does this all of the time, he tucks his head in. He also does not stand as proudly any more. He is a RIR buff orpington cross.

There is a photo of what he used to be like, and now. I checked for pin feathers but found none. He has been grabbing the hens combs and pulling them, flogging them as well.

Her name was Amber she is my profile photo, she died the day she turned a year old. She was the first chicken that we had, so she wasn't new.

I have had hens eat hard plastic for some reason. And they are fine.

I love bearded chickens! Here is my bantam roo.

One died yesterday she had symptoms similar to mareks.

I have a chicken named Dottie as well she is a Speckled sussex

I have one that sounds like a dinosaur. And another chicken that will go off. If you disturb her when she is trying to lay an egg. She is loud.
