I have recently lost my rooster. Now I am not the most experienced person when it comes to raising chickens so I'm not sure if every rooster is like mine was. Rooster was a very protective guy, from food to predators to places to sleep - Rooster was the MAN!! The hens did very little without...
Just got this little girl today. Anybody know what breed this is? She's got 5 toes on both feet (her back toe is actually two toes with two toenails). She's got longer feathers on her head that kind of stick up. You can see it a little bit in the second picture.
I had someone recommend furizone, not sure if I'm spelling that right. I was told it works very well though and you should be able to find it at a feed store or tractor supply. I'm going to get some soon so ill repost with updates.
I do have another question (this may be silly question). The little chicken, Willy, is the one with the swollen eye and he rubs his eye sometimes on his back (almost ontop of his back between the wings) and the fluid from his eye gets in his feathers and makes them crusty and stringy when it...
Did you treat the bumps or do they go away eventually? My little guy still has a swollen eye but I have been trying to open it a little to let some of the fluid out and hopefully relieve any pressure. Poor thing, I hope it doesn't cause him to lose sight in that eye.
When I got him he was about this same size so it doesn't look like he's getting larger. His feathers aren't fuzzy like a silkie, they are regular feathers they just don't lay down. They stand straight up.
NEVERMIND. I did end up finding it. I was using the internet on my phone and couldn't find it, but once I got to the pc it came right up. Not sure what the problem was
I am so glad I ran across this and clicked on it. I actually was given a gamecock rooster and he is beautiful,it wasn't til I got him home I realized his beak was crossed. I had initially thought he was maybe hit by something or abused, but now I see he is just one of these crossbeaks. I know he...
I was trying to add some of the breeds that I currently own to the list on my profile, but I couldn't find Dominiques on the list of breeds. Should I add it or is there another name I can look them up under?
Here's a picture of her...
