Hi there did you ever work out what it was with your bird?? Did she turn out ok? I have a couple of Maran and leghorn pulletts with the same thing??

Hi there I hatched a few pekins in April and I'm wondering on gender, it's a new breed to me so I'm not sure how they mature. Roo? Roo? Pullet? Roo & pullet? They're 9 weeks today

Hi there I bought these birds as large fowl English orpingtons but their tail and comb just don't look right at all, and they seem very small? They are young birds and not in lay yet but I can't imagine them feathering out to the full shape of my adult orps?? [/IMG]

Thanks for getting back to me :) I wasn't intending to breed back to solids I'm buying some fertile eggs to regain my solids back, I was just wondering if the colour cross would be a pleasant one? Or if I'd end up with perculiar patchy hens? I'd like to hatch some off from the original flock for...

Hi there not sure if this is the right place to post, but my 15 strong orpington flock was DEVESTATED by a dog last week! :( I lost 9 birds in total! Needless to say it won't happen again, so sad :( But I am left with my silver laced roo a gold laced bantam and 2 buff hens. What would the colour...

Yeah I'm sure you're right on that one! I've just soaked her in warm water again and removed all the scabing that was blocking her vent (in the last 24hrs the healing process has obviously caused it all to restrict and scab over csusibg the back log) so her vent opening is now clear and poo can...

Hi all just a little update on my chick, she's healing up nicely eating drinking and her skin is scanning over but in the last 24hrs she's struggling to poo? She's had a few warm salty baths for her skin which have also loosened her bowels but how to I get rid of it for good? Do I need to feed...

Hi all just having a few rooster issues so I'm pleased to find this thread :) I have a young 5 month d silver laced orpington rooster. He's such a handsome bird and he crows so well. He's fearful and friendly with all humans and takes a good few pecks from the set hens, but I have 2 broodies...

Hi all yeah it was the mummy and the other 2 chicks. She's inside under a brooder lamp now and the wounds drying up, I really hope she'll be ok, she's alert, bright and can walk around easy. I'm saying she but that might just be wishful thinking ;) I got such a shock because with all of her...

This is an update pic of my suspect chick... It's 6 weeks old today and has had to come in to the house because for some unknown reason it's little chick mates have seriously damaged it by pecking it :( The buff one looks like its s pullet and the barred chick is definitely roo! I'm thinking...

Hi chicken girls thanks for getting back to me :) now she's been in the house for a couple if hrs the oozing a stopped and her vent looks clear! Thank goodness! so a serious case of pecking!!? Which I can't understand coz she's with her mother still?
