    Sudden death in year old pullet

    I would highly doubt the weather had anything to do with her sudden death, as winters in Kuwait are basically summers as cool as summer in any of the northern United States. The temperature only got down to around 14 deg C, which is about 57 deg f. Besides much of her body was still quiet warm...

    Sudden death in year old pullet

    Unfortunately not possible. I thought it would have been too graphic and didn't do it at the time, she is now buried in the garden. I'll keep that in mind if it ever happens again though, especially considering I have no experience in autopsies outside of a few college science classes it would...

    Another one!

    Here are some shots of the second pullet that hatched out of a marans egg, not too easy to get a shot of her as she’s always been the most skiddish of the lot

    Another one!

    Calling on the pro’s to offer their 2cents on the following pullets and roo’s. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I had ordered some hatching eggs from a breeder in Turkey. Originally ordered 30 eggs, 10 of which hatched, so numbers weren’t great to begin with. One of the “Legbar” marked eggs...

    Hello, so I had ordered hatching eggs from a breeder in Turkey a few months ago. One of the eggs labeled as Cream Legbar ended up hatching as the following pullet, which doesn’t look anything like pictures of Legbar hens. Any idea’s?

    Emergency - Pullet found with severe toe injury

    Update: I had originally cleaned and dressed the wound with what I had available at the time. A bit of rubbing alcohol (done before reading the second post) to clean the wound dabbed on with a cotton ball. I then smeared the wound with some calendula paste (which I've personally used growing...

    Any educated guesses on what breed / gender this chick is?

    Update: Henrietta has laid her first egg! Along with another 2 by the time I fixed my phone to post this, for a total of 3 so far. So thats around one very small cream white egg every third day or so.

    Ktown Hatch

    Thanks :D Yea I'm keeping a watchful eye on them checking on them every few hours, I have the luxury of being able to work from home and the chicks are literally on the other side of the wall from me. Already had to "help" one of the little ones today because they are at the point of where they...
