    Sick pullet!!??!

    UPDATE 2: My little patient is doing better than last week, but something is still bothering her. She is still tucking her head to her neck/chest and backing up into the wall of her brooder seemingly trying to peck herself. In fact She never straightens her neck out at all. Her crop always...

    Sick pullet!!??!

    UPDATE: After researching BYC yesterday, I figured out how to check the crop. Absolutely nothing in there, and in fact she looks like she is getting thinner from eating so lightly these last few days. I had picked up some Corid to treat for Cocci and administered this to her as well as it...

    Unsure of the sex of 2 of my RIR

    Can you let us know what they turned out to be? I have a couple alleged RIR's that look the same. They are 4 weeks and I am trying to figure out if I have roosters or pullets. Thanks in advance!

    Yeah, I looked at some photos of australorp chicks and it is kind of close, but not enough to convince me with my limited experience. I will try to get more pics as this was taken almost 2 weeks ago, and he/she looks considerably different now. But I do agree that it is NOT a BR.

    Need help identifying breed and sex

    Hi all, I'm new to BYC and to chickens in general. A couple weeks ago, I ventured out to Farm and Home in Portland MI and picked up 3 RIRs, 3 Barred rocks, a Pekin and a Khaki Campbell.
