    Any guesses on two mystery blue bantams?

    Thanks everyone! It's so much fun to hear everyone's responses. I would love to have a blue or splash cochin in the mix!

    Any guesses on two mystery blue bantams?

    I have two bantams that I just can't seem to figure out. Any guesses? Both are just over 4 weeks old. Here is Kiwi, our darker and slightly larger bantam. Slate legs and muff have me leaning towards Blue Ameraucana. Any thoughts? Here is Minnie. She has been much slower...

    10 Month old Easter Egger died. Any ideas on why?

    Thanks for the reply. I think she did "just die". Better in her sleep than any other way. :)

    10 Month old Easter Egger died. Any ideas on why?

    Our 10 month old EE seems to have died in her sleep last night. I dropped off some brussel sprout clippings about 6:30pm last night and tucked them in and all was well. She happily pecked them out of my hand. This afternoon when I went to collect eggs I found her dead, on the bottom of the...

    *UPDATED* Oh Rats! Is my White Crested Blue Polish a Roo?

    Turns out Puffball is a R-O-O-S-T-E-R! We were pretty sure by his looks and actions but he crowed today and sealed the deal! Luckily we re-homed him to a great farm! Here are a couple photos of him at 13 weeks. Notice his lack of crest feathers. Naughty other chickens wouldn't leave this...

    Young White Crested Blue Polish Rooster in Oregon Needs a New Home

    We have a friendly White Crested Blue Polish Rooster in need of a new home. He was going to be our one rooster to keep but the ladies won't stop pecking out his "poof" feathers. Probably needs to go to a home with other Crested Polishes. He is my daughter's favorite chicken so he has spent a...

    Is it a slipped tendon?

    Great news! Have you opened up a new forum asking people what might be going on? There are so many experienced people on here with a lot of knowledge to offer. It's worth a shot to find out what those lumps are. Happy healing...

    Is it a slipped tendon?

    This is our first set of chicks so I don't really have any experience to offer you. From my very limited knowledge I would say it sounds like a leg injury or slipped tendon. Our chick was much younger thus much lighter so she did a lot of hopping around on one foot. Ours too had some weird...

    *UPDATED* Oh Rats! Is my White Crested Blue Polish a Roo?

    Oh my goodness, they are almost twins! I realized after I posted this that ours is actually 7 1/2 weeks. He's 1 week older than the rest. Anyway, I think we have a little roo on our hands. We love him either way so as long as he can behave himself we'll get to keep him! Thanks for sharing...

    *UPDATED* Oh Rats! Is my White Crested Blue Polish a Roo?

    Without another WCP to compare to I'd say they are more on the long and slender side. Nothing like our confirmed Welsummer Roo though. Here are a couple photos. The first one shows the back feathering. The others are better photos of the crest. Many thanks!! We love this little suspected...

    *UPDATED* Oh Rats! Is my White Crested Blue Polish a Roo?

    Hi ramirezframing, thanks for your post. The ends of the feathers are rounded. I agree the crest looks hen even with some of it missing due to another chick (I think) pecking out the very center. I just don't know what to think about those wattles. This is our first crested polish so the...
