Good morning from the Seattle area ZZZ - I was very happy to find my chick a new home at the Happy Rooster Farm (which takes roosters and hens). I did not have the chicks vent sexed, which still doesn't help much with the FWM anyway, but just watching the three of them, I guessed he was a roo...
Hello from the Seattle area! - I have one lovely French Wheaten Maran Cockerel available for a good home. He is healthy and will make a very handsome rooster, however, I cannot have him in my city. He is just over a week old and does well with his two pullet companions. I purchased him along...
Well, he's back in the hobble, but has no balance. His little head wobbles continuously which I think throws his balance off even more and all toes are straight now, except one, which I work with daily. Thank you for checking in with him. I'm praying he'll grow out of it all and become a...
Okay - at 1:00 today I took the hobble off of Kevin's legs. It has been 24 hours. There is some improvement. He can walk now, but falls all over the place - backwards, forwards, rolls. He cannot stand up and stand still at the same time. I think it may be due to his toes still being curled...
WOW! I'm learning so much :) Thank you so much for all the great info. I definitely see the change in Kevin's wings, especially underneath - they are quite dark. I will watch his tail feathers :) I'm hoping he is a male, but either is fine with me - they are such beautiful birds and I am...
He may be - I'm not sure what breed of peachick he is. The egg was given to me by a man up the road who said they migrated to his farm 45 years ago and have been there ever since (generation after generation). He has three males and three females - and 11 peachicks right now. The males are...
Thank you both so much :) After reading your posts, I promptly put the hobble back on (at the right walking distance) and he lay on his face with his legs stretched out back for quite a while - but I just checked on him again after lunch, and he is sitting upright as he should!!! :) He tries...
Thank you.
His legs have had a hobble on them for two days and he has been hanging from a sock or other gadget for two days. He cannot stand on his legs and his legs are still out to the side. Do I continue to leave him hanging in a sock with the hobble on? When he is in the sock with the...
Hi Guys and Gals,
I have an incubator hatched, almost 6-day old, healthy peachick that needs help! I have tried various contraptions mentioned here and on google search to help straighten his legs that both go straight out to either side of his body, but to no avail and I feel that I am...
