    Chicks dropped dead with bloody ears

    I’m so sorry this happened. I’ve never heard of something like this, either. I wish I had something more helpful to say other than I’m sorry. 😢

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    I had a chick hatch with wry neck a few months ago. I syringed a couple droplets of Poultry Cell in her beak every few hours and it cleared up in a few days. I hope your baby clears up quickly, too!

    This is a cockerel, right?

    Thanks

    This is a cockerel, right?

    This blue BYM chick, 5 weeks old, has had a large comb since he was about a week old. But it’s never really turned red, and it’s sort of stopped growing. I still think it’s a boy, but was curious to hear if anyone thinks there is a chance it’s a pullet. The other chicks in the pics are from...

    Days old chick’s leg cut by string

    Hi all. I finally got some Silverrudd Blues (bucket list breed) from a feed store today and discovered a thin string (or umbilical) wrapped tightly around this one’s leg. I suspect it’s been there since hatch as it was already beginning to heal over in places. From what I can tell, the string...

    Looking for pics of Blue Laced Barnevelders

    It’s all of the above- young and male, combined with the fact that I’m just getting started and learning as I go. I love blue birds- it’s my favorite color- but I’m starting to see that it makes feather patterns act funny. Here are some updated pics of my Barnies. This girl is one of the 6...

    Looking for pics of Blue Laced Barnevelders

    Her patterning is exquisite! Do you find that the black offspring that result from your blue x black crosses are identifcal to black x black crosses? Or do you notice a change in the lacing?

    Stupid question, I know but…

    I was suspicious of this idea. I had a blue laced red wyandotte from a hatchy that had a small straight comb and produced offspring with feathered legs. I wondered if she had a bit of a cochin mixed in there somewhere.

    Looking for pics of Blue Laced Barnevelders

    Here are some more current pics (but even these photos are 2+ weeks old!) They are all male. Every one of them. I got 3 blue, 1 black, and then there’s Pablo who I am still undecided on his color. I hatched a few more a few weeks ago and got 1 black, 3 blue, 1 splash (pretty sure b/c it’s...

    Stupid question, I know but…

    @MysteryChicken is far more knowledgeable about genetics than I am. But as I understand it birds have only 2 leg color: black and white. But then a second color gets added, sort of overtop of the base color. Therefore a chicken with white legs (shanks) will have white soles, even if a dark...
