    Help me identify this breed!

    Oh good to know! I was just telling my husband last night I was worried it had some skin damage or something because the chest is so naked still and all the other chicks are like fully feathered out!

    Help me identify this breed!

    Can anyone help me figure out this breed of my chick? It was a “mystery” chicken from murray mcmurray for ordering over 15 chicks! Our best guess is some kind of brahma because it has feathered legs. I just cant seem to find photos of its crazy colors. Google image search says its a pigeon 😂

    Duck leg issues and tail bobbing

    I have 4 week old ducks two runners and two cayugas. One of my runners who is the runt of the group seems to be having leg issues. Shes become wobbly and tends to lay down instead of run around with her sisters and I feel like its making her eat less and not wash her nostrils properly. Shes on a...
