    Are These Cockerels?/ Also Which Breed is it?

    The grey looks to be a 6 week old cockerel. The coloring is male-specific.

    Need Help

    I think I am seeing a rupture in the pupil of that chicken, which is a sign of ocular marek's. It is hard to confirm for sure, since I cannot see the eyes that well. Have you noticed that, or is my suspicion wrong?

    Chicken swallowed a marble. Crop impacted

    It looks like the marble is as big as the tip of your thumb. I'd first try to give her only very soft foods that could slide past the marble and also try to have her eat lubricants like coconut oil to hopefully allow the marble to pass through her digestive track. An invasive surgery is very...

    Need Help

    The chicks should not be returned if they've been exposed to anything for everyone's safety. The marek's vaccine only reduces chance of death from getting marek's, not preventing contracting marek's all together. I don't know what the illness could be, but if you have been giving enough...

    Help hen with pasty butt?!

    trim up any of the feathers that are extremely poopy near the vent and pictures are needed. Has there been any change in feed/diet? Has she gone down in pecking order or become lethargic?

    No Emergency - Wondering What She Has?

    The pictures didn't load for some reason on my end, posting pictures. Also, we've tried deworming in chicken dosages with goat dewormer.

    No Emergency - Wondering What She Has?

    What do you think this is? This little lady (pullet, ~9 months) hasn't been laying frequently recently, while everyone else has been frequent. Over the course of a few months, she went from third in the pecking order to the first or second lowest. She's been acting lethargic, stands still, and...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    I got 6 egg/8 pullets with temps being a comfortable 35-50°F. I'm very pleased that one of our late layers (she was late by 3.5 months to her siblings) started laying consistently last week! I was quite worried about her, not only because she was very late, but since she started rapidly gaining...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Mine are this way too! The chickens only have interest in the food in my hand :rolleyes: Plenty of times have I rationed out some of my food, but they ignore it. Instead, my lap, back, arm I'm eating my food with, or any place they can perch and extend their deceptively short looking necks my...

    Possible egg oddity

    Looks like a misfire (no yolk, so missing the structure to keep the whites in order) plus shelless. There have been a few almost identical looking eggs posted on this site, but I cannot find those threads. If the bird is young, both of these issues aren't an alarm. If the bird isn't young, both...

    Confused on gender

    I definitely see saddle and hackle feathers and I cannot tell if the legs are thin or thick. I'd expect at least a little male behavior here at 24 weeks, like sizing up others in the flock and crowing, but if there are two roosters already he might be hesitant, especially if they're jumping on...

    Help frozen feet!

    Could you dog kennel her in an unused part of a kitchen, bathroom, possibly heated storage? Anywhere the family won't notice too much

    Help frozen feet!

    She most likely has feeling back already, but pictures would be more helpful. The swelling will naturally reduce at this point, can't do much after it has happened. She shouldn't be walking until a majority of her foot is back to a normal color and the swelling is gone. Keep her on flat but...
