I am saving this thread...sorry about your loss. I too have had some leg troubles but only with my wyandottes. I am watching to see if anyone else on here will write in with some information about this. Is it a breed issue? I have hatched lots of chicks...only the wyandottes have given me...
Ok I have three royal palm poults that I hatched 2 weeks ago. Everything has been fine, they are happy normal little ones. Then last night I noticed one chirping constantly. I went over and watched for a little while and things seemed fine. Today I noticed one of it's eyes looks...
ok here is the problem: I have a 11-12 wk old SLW that has been sick since last saturday. She acts as if she needs to throw up, like a jerking head movement, but nothing comes out. So starting on Sat. when she started this I have been giving her ACV and just regular chick starter. Sunday I was...

Thanks so much! I am checking that site right now. I was hopeing someone had some info on this. I have read there are some ways of sexing certain breeds, but I wasn't sure which ones. Thanks again!
Hi, I just hatched my first round of SLW. The parents were ordered and marked so I could tell the roos. I've read that being rosecombed can make it a little harder to tell, but does anyone have any other signs to look for in this breed? Can you tell early with these guys or not until the typical...
