    Is my crossbred chicken a rooster?

    To me, it looks like a very beautiful pullet! Do you know how old it is? I have a six month old favaucana who has similar feather shapes to your chicken, had me thinking she was a cockreal for a while lol!

    Cockerels or pullets?

    Both are cockreals! Hoping you can keep at least one, they're both very handsome!

    What is the best antibiotic?

    It sounds like it could be cocci. I'm sorry she's not improving! Try giving her some scrambled eggs and oatmeal, that may help.

    Glad to hear she's drinking! I hope she'll eat something, and I know chickens don't really eat while they're sick. Uncooked or cooked oatmeal both work, and check out my article for a recipe that I use for oatmeal that has spices in it that will help boost her immune system...

    What is the best antibiotic?

    I'm here to vouch for the all natural way, which always works for me. I use oregano water, which is oregano leaves steeped in warm water, then let the water cool to room temp. Rotating that and Nutri drench (vitamin supplement with molasses, sold at tractor supply), will really help. Nurti...

    Also, if her poop is runny I would suggest going to tractor supply and getting some Corid. That goes in their water and is perfectly safe to use. 7 days on with that being her only water supply will be good. I had a baby chick who ended up with cocci (not exactly sure how), and I put her and the...

    Thank you! Hoping nothing seriously wrong will happen, and I'm glad you have her under heat. Putting some vitamins such as nutri drench in her water might help as well, or even some oregano leaves steeped in water.

    Help my chicken is being slow and has diarrhea.

    I'm so sorry! She might've had an impacted crop, which might've been what the lump you saw was. If her legs were positioned funny, there might also have been a chance she was egg bound? Again, I'm so sorry for your loss! :(

    Chickens can die from being overweight, sadly, I've seen it before. Feel around between her legs for a lump. If there is one that means she's egg bound. Also, since she's younger she's not at laying egg, I doubt she's egg bound. Sometimes in cocci, you don't see the bloody poop until it's too...

    Squating or Laying: which comes first?

    The Squating will occur for a few weeks before the hen starts laying in my experience :)

    Cockerel or pullet Plymouth rock ?? Help!

    I think it's a little cockreal based on it's neck and tail feathers, but I have a blog post on my website that may be more of a detailed help. :) Whatever the gender, I LOVE the feather coloring!
