New Babies, three white leghorn moms breed to a Brown Leghorn Roo and one Brown Leghorn mom and Brown Roo. I am anxious to see what color the white ones turn out to be. How do I include the pic?

why are my chickens pulling each others feathers out? my rooster is raw around his tail feathers, it looks bad.

I have one black star in with 4 black austalorps and she is my favorite. Indeed a beautiful chicken and a good egg layer.

I have two Black Jersey Giants in with 5 RIR and 5 Australorps, don't get more than one Roster is my advice. They fight over the girls. I love my biggest one, Boss is his name and he will follow me around like a dog. Very calm! I have a Brown Leghorn in with 9 White leghorns and you have to...

I had one of my white leghorns die last night. From what i read here she had cocci. i am treating the rest of them with Sulmet, I have about three others that look pale but have not started to fluff up yet. I sure hope the medication works.

Thanks for the info,,, now all i have to do is find the meds that everyone is talking about. i have tried the only two feed stores and they don't have it. i have one more but it is not open today. Definitely a learning process and a fun thing to fool with.

I am new at this and love all the info on this web page. I have beeen reading all about why my two white leghorns that are two months old today look like they are sleepy and just are not moving around. Looks like cocci? I have not isolated these two birds from my other 23 so i don't know if they...
