    Chick help

    Got this chick with 11 different chicks from Rural King. They’re all about 4-5 weeks old. This ones about half the size of every other chick but feathering out around the same rate. Has pale/grey clean legs and rounder in the back with small tail feathers just coming in.

    HELP! SICK CHICKEN

    My year old EE is lethargic, breathing heavy and fast, and there is a hump in her back on the base of her tail. I found her like this around 3pm. I thought she was egg bound, so I soaked her for 20 minutes and put vegetable oil around her vent. She did poop (fairly large) , so that rules out egg...

    My roo is an ameraucana, my two hens are a Bard rock, and a black sex link. I want to know if anyone has pictures or could describe what kind of chicks would each of my hens make if they mated with my roo.

    How do you make a frizzle?

    Is there any possibility of two non frizzled chickens creating a frizzle? If so are there specific breeds to create a frizzled chick?
