    Identifying rooster breed- Barred Rock?

    I think a feed store. He is trying to do some digging. He was also supposed to be a pullet! Lol

    Large. He is taller than my silver laced wyandotte roo.

    Identifying rooster breed- Barred Rock?

    Got this dude from a friend that was unable to keep him due to city ordinance. He thought he was a barred rock but he has a lot of brown not pure white in the feathers. He also has black/pink feet. Any ideas?

    Sprained knuckle or bumblefoot in chicken

    Trying to help a friend figure out if her chicken has bumblefoot or if her knuckle is sprained and swollen. There was no scab like I have seen in the past when one of my birds had BF. It didn't feel fevered, but we did an Epsom soak, sprayed it with microcyn and put neosporin on it and wrapped...

    Had to move eggs at day 19

    On day 18- 3 eggs had been kicked out of the nesting box of my broody hen (SL Wyandotte) by other hens. I put one cracked one back in because it wasn't bleeding and it was wiggling (candling). On day 19 I moved them down to a dog crate inside the coop with broody momma but didn't realize I...

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    She is still alive, and seems happy. Her crop is still low, but seemed firmer. Noticed the green poop still, and are going to start de-worming the flock tomorrow first thing.

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    No, we got her and her sister at about 2 months old. I wanted to get them from where we got the rest of the flock but she didn't raise BCM at the time. Her crop was a little more firm this morning, so that's encouraging. I am just a little nervous as we had to let her with the flock today. We...

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    Here is her pretty egg! She has had two different funky poop. I gave her some garlic with her egg/yogurt mix. I am a little concerned because the grit looks like brand new grit, not sure if it's normal for grit to just go through the system like that.

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    She is still alive! This morning Ashley (her twin the only other bcm's name is Mary Kate) layed an egg! I do think she may possibly have worms after looking more at her poop. My question is- Should I treat for worms first? Could that be the real culprit? Or treat sour crop first? Is there a...

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    Thanks for responding!!! She is an almost 8 month old BCM. She is on pine bedding, I have been trying to keep it clean, but have puppy pads to swap. The chickens outside have a feeder full of free choice grit next to their food, but I was running low when she started to get bloated. How long...

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    I have been checking first thing in the morning, when it should be empty. Then throughout the day. Should I stop massaging as I think the grass is through? Should I just start with egg and hold off on grit until I reintroduce her to her pellets? I was going to do egg/yogurt tomorrow (Saturday)...

    Bloated Crop: GI issues or Sour Crop

    Took this picture below to see if anyone has seen poo like this? Story below, any suggestions welcome! Trying to keep one of my favorite hens alive. I noticed her crop hanging lower than I have ever seen. Felt hers vs her sister's and it was definitely bloated. I was thinking it was sour crop...

    Fowl pox or pecks?

    I'm new to chickens and am trying to figure out if this is fowl pox or foul play! He is my beta roo and I know that's a tender area for them. He is drinking, eating and seems pretty happy. Just trying to figure it out!

    Sexing 9/10 week old SL Wyandottes

    The last 2 are of the same bird. I think he is a roo. He is the largest of the birds. These are the ones I'm more interested in. There are a few that I'm fairly sure are pullets.
