Actually I called last night and they said they don’t carry it.

Need some advice. I have a chicken with ascites. I successfully drained fluid off of her and she gradually drained for a few days after from the punctures where I used the syringe. She’s much more comfortable but she’s not snapping back like others have. She’s secluded in a crate in the house...

He’s an EE :)

Update: So the little dude is 11 weeks old and just started getting feather quills poking out in most of his naked areas. His neck and chest still have many bald patches and he still has a crazy mullet. I’m surprised he’s actually feathering and blown away that it took 11 weeks for him to start!

> 2 weeks later and the poor guy is still naked. Btw he’s still looking for a home ;) If you’ve ever wanted a freak chicken, here’s your chance! :lau

Original thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-is-this-frankenchicken.1227064/ Someone suggested I post this here so let’s see how it goes. I have a very interesting project roo (AKA Frankenchicken) available once he’s older to anyone who is: A) willing to pick him up B)...

I’m feeding flockraiser with 20% protein. I have 30% gamebird feed I can add in but I’ve got light breeds and ducklings all together so I thought it’d be overkill. Luckily he’s a Silicon Valley bird so no extreme weather here. He’s also in a brooder coop that has 3 week old babies on the other...

He’s 99.9% boy. If for some crazy reason he ends up a she I’ll definitely keep it but I’m pretty sure that ship has sailed.

I’m a sucker, too. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a love bug. My 3-year-old thinks he’s the bees knees and named him “Chicken Wing” :love But alas my inner adult keeps reminding me he cannot stay. He cannot stay. He cannot stay. :barnie

Darn! I’d have done it, too! I’ll totally ship him once he’s older and I’ll even go halfers on the box with whoever wants him. I’d love to see what he grows into. I’m in city limits so I only keep my special-needs, old lady flock here. Hobby breeding flocks are on my family’s property and they...

You guys are a crack up!! I pinged the person I got the eggs from and she’s at a total loss. She’s also breeding for blue egg color so most of her bird build off of Ameraucanas and Cream Legbars. She has no Turkens and never has. I’ve got enough projects going on around here so if anyone in...

Bwahahahahhha

That’s crazy! Genetics are funny things!

wowzers! That is some chicken. Don’t know but he has a peacomb and isn’t *that* naked so I doubt it.
