    Sneezing/open mouth breathing/small, crunchy crop

    I'm having similar issues like @trista85 I have a 3yr RIR doing the same thing. I haven't heard or seen any of the flock members having any of the same symptoms. Her crop this evening was small and gritty. When she sneezed, some food did come out but she did just ate right before it. She seems...

    Egg Shell Problem

    I'm not sure if this is an issue or not but one of my hens is laying eggs with what looks like small calcium deposits? Is this normal or is she getting too much or not enough of something? She's been doing this for months. I can scratch off some of them but others are fully calcified. On Purina...

    Question about White Leghorns feet and leg color

    I thought she might be an EE cross but can EE's lay light brown eggs? Well, I guess that'll depend what she's crossed with right? She's all white, just a little dusty. Hope these pics help.

    Question about White Leghorns feet and leg color

    Not sure if this is a Leghorn or not. It was the only survivor from my friends flock that was attacked by a fox. He doesn't remember the breed. Any ideas? She lays light brown eggs, small comb, and has green legs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    MARYLAND, Free Bantam Roo needs home

    I have a 3 month old Bantam Room hatched March 30th that needs a new home. He's a pretty chill little dude. Doesn't freak out when you pick him up or hold him. Not sure of breed since he was from an assorted breed group from the local feed store. I took my chances with 2 and got 1 right. I'm...

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    I have 6 chicks and 2 of them are Bantams, I'm pretty sure my other Bantam is a Gold Laced Cochin and I'm not sure about the other one (pics posted below). I'm starting to worry that she might be a HE. I think she/he is a game bird of some kind. They're both 4 weeks old. It may be too young to...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    This is my Araucana chick Edna, but I'm having some doubts that she may be an EE (which I'm ok with if that's the case) :) She's almost 4 weeks old
