    4week brown leghorn

    My brown leghorn, Leggy Legs, has a larger comb than her same age buddies. She was sexed, but I know that isn’t always accurate. My first leghorn so I’m curious. Are we just looking at a normal leghorn with a big comb, or a cockerel? Thanks! (L to R - buff Orpington, RIR, cuckoo marans who is...

    Breeds/genders? (Hedemora, turkens, Cochin, Bielefelder)

    Sorry, didn’t see this! Tried to get pictures this morning but they were too into their breakfast haha. The better pics are from a couple weeks ago, I think.

    Paint/primer on chickens?

    My chickens walked across/brushed against some newly primed (kilz) wood. Will their new “look” hurt them at all? Thanks!

    Badly swollen inner eyelid and eye bump

    Sure, I think I can do that! The poor girl is definitely very lonely. I need to build up the other birds’ run anyways, I can use the existing hardware cloth to build her one. Because honestly I think she’ll die of loneliness at this point. Such a long healing process :(

    Badly swollen inner eyelid and eye bump

    UPDATE (nearly 5 weeks later) Copper is slowly getting better! She gets terramycin on the eyes twice a day after I wipe them with the vetramin eye rinse. Also getting a few drops of vetrx in her water daily. She’s getting very, very skinny and is desperate to be out of her little cage. Knocked...

    Silkie mom and Larger size dad?

    Ha that makes sense! I’m over here imagining it like if a chihuahua had to birth Great Dane puppies, except the puppies are enormous eggs in a tiny chicken 😂😂 glad to know the mama wouldn’t have to go through that.

    Silkie mom and Larger size dad?

    Okay so…. I know that silkie Roos can totally breed with large/voluptuous lady birds…. But what happens when a silkie hen breeds with a larger daddy bird? Are her little silkie eggs large enough to hold larger baby chicks? Or do they end up being born early or something? Or do the eggs end up...

    How long can you hide a rooster in the city?
