    What breed is my little Bantam Surprise?

    Are these chicks from a breeder less heathy?

    Okay here is a breakdown of the chicks: 1. From Breeder A - hatching egg- assisted hatch. Showgirl. Died 12 hours after hatch. Could not sit up- last one from the incubator. No way this one could’ve made it. 2. From Breeder A - hatching egg- died a week after hatch. Was very small black...

    Are these chicks from a breeder less heathy?

    Hi everyone, Sorry so long- I am a little over 2 years in chicken-keeping. The first year and a half I have purchased many bantam TSC chicks and day-old from mail order, My Pet Chicken. Out of probably 40 chicks, I only lost one on day 2. So a pretty good track record. I never even thought...

    Vent Gleet and prolapse

    My hen recovered after a worse prolapse. I did the following: Bath with only water as needed. While she sat in the water, I covered her in a ton of aquaphor, pushed the vent in with a gloved finger, and held in for a few minutes. I followed up with more aquaphor and neosporin. I read about...

    Update for everyone who so kindly responded. Amazingly, her prolapse has gone back into her. This is the second time it has happened. I am going to watch her closely. I may refresh this thread if it happens again and photo. Thank you all so much!

    Is it humane to cull in this situation?

    Hi all. I am devastated to ask this. I have a silkie who has had a prolapse for over two months. She is in with the flock and no one is messing with her. She seems to be just dealing with it. I did have her isolated too but she is happy with them. I have tried EVERYTHING before posting this. It...

    Questions for Broody Hens

    I love that I happened upon this thread and it’s recent! I have the exact same issue. My white silkie keeps prolapsing and is going broody. Do you have any updates?? My problem is that I think she will lapse again just from pooping… and it will get on the eggs?!!

    Not just a TSC Golden Sebright ?? Maybe?

    This will be the 4th time I have bought a group of chicks at TSC on a whim and am swayed by the cuteness of a baby Golden Sebright 😂But now I have 2 adult GS hens and don’t need or want another. They aren’t my favorite breed; smart but not very friendly imo. So I thought this chick was a OEG...
