    Sour Crop or Air Bubble?

    She's acting pretty normal. Scratching around looking for food. Napping here and there. I'll have to see if my daughter can tell if her mouth smells sour, and I'll let her crop empty a bit more. Thank you for all of your help! I really appreciate it

    Sour Crop or Air Bubble?

    It feels more like liquid. I definitely didn't feel any solids. She's pooped only twice in the past 2 hours. Seems like she should be pooping more.

    Sour Crop or Air Bubble?

    The crop is soft. It almost feels similar to when you push a blister on the skin. I don't know if that's a helpful comparison 😅

    Sour Crop or Air Bubble?

    I'm babysitting my son's chicks while he's away this week. I'm not too sure of their age, 1 or 2 weeks old I think. I've had them since Monday and this little one started moving it's neck in a weird way last night and has now developed a bump where it's crop is. I've separated it and removed...

    Hen with Heavy Breathing, Purple Comb, Lethargy

    Thank you for the advice! Her belly is it's normal light pink and not swollen. The urates in her poop are white with no yellow. The photo lighting isn't too great. There is a little green tint by the lettuce pieces, but I think that's from the lettuce. She's not wanting to eat or drink, just...

    Hen with Heavy Breathing, Purple Comb, Lethargy

    Cheyenne, my banty OEGB, was running around normal yesterday morning and afternoon. In the evening right before bed she went and laid under their water dish stand. She started breathing heavy and her comb became purple. No panting, sneezing, coughing, or discharge from anywhere. She stood up...

    Genetics Question: Birchen & Silver Duckwing

    Thank you Amer! I appreciate the response. His lacing is one of my favorite things about him, but it was throwing me off on if he was a birchen.

    Genetics Question: Birchen & Silver Duckwing

    This is Poppy. He's 3 months old. His dad is a Birchen OEGB and his mom is a Silver Duckwing OEGB. I haven't wrapped my head around chicken genetics yet so I'm not sure what he would be considered. His coloring is different than his Birchen dad, and I think that doesn't necessarily mean he's a...

    Old English or Japanese?

    We did buy him as an adult for a 4H poultry project. His comb was like that and I didn't know what dubbing was until the 4H project leader pointed it out to my daughter. I'm a little sad I won't know what his comb would have looked like. Lol

    Old English or Japanese?

    I've been trying to figure out if our bantam rooster, Doc, is Old English or Japanese. His features seem to be right in the middle of the two. His legs are short,but not that short. His tail is high, but not that high. 😅 I'm at a loss. My curiosity has increased since we hatched a chick from Doc...
