    Odd Rooster?

    I have one doing the exact same thing right now. He seems fine other than being off balance and laying around a lot. He eats and drinks fine. I have a 5 gallon water dispenser and he sits on top of it at times. He is active. We have 18 young chickens and he is the only one displaying this behavior.

    Peacock Moulting Now??

    I am in Pennsylvania. He had lost his train early all but two long feathers. He just dropped them and there are three or four regrowing. I had had the two hens with eggs and was having problems with the peachicks and the Black shoulder male was teaching them to eat and taking care of them. The...

    Peacock Moulting Now??

    This happened with our boy. He kept 2 train feathers and just lost one the other day. He started strutting again and I just noticed a couple of days ago that he seems to be growing a few back. Is this normal? I didn't think they would grow back in the same breeding season but he has 4 notice...

    They really are. Even the ones in the brooder. The yellow one will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and is getting more color each day and loves to fly. The brown one is very vivid in color and is trying to learn your fly now too. The older one mothers it. It is cute. I am proud after everything I went...

    I thought you all would appreciate these, since we were talking about how good the peacock is as a father. The one chick rides their backs through the pen. Lol

    How exciting. And thank you for that explanation. There are so many different kinds. It gets a bit confusing. My week old yelliw chick just started getting black spots on its shoulders. And over today you can see darker patterns starting to show. It is incredible how they change throughout the...

    Thank you so much! I definitely did have a crash course in pearl, that's for sure! I can honestly say that I have a little more confidence in myself now and that seems to make things a little easier. I will keep taking pictures, for sure. They amaze me every day. They are growing so fast...

    Thank you so much! I will take the newspaper out and put in paper towels. Thank you. I have the meds ready. I expected the cock to hurt them. I love watching him with them. He teaches them so much. He stays right with them. He even sits with them under his wings. They slept under him last night...

    @KsKingBee and @Waterfaery So this past couple of weeks has been quite the learning experience. I just wanted to update. In the past week, I have had to deal with subcutaneous emphysema (successfully thanks to the readings) and mom abandoned the last egg which was pipped. I left it be and kept...

    I definitely hope to contribute to the giving back. I am eager to learn all I can. I hope to be able to someday help someone like you all have been helping me.

    Thank you. You're right...I have been reading like crazy. I am very sensitive when it comes to animals. This has been really tough for me. Yet, I have learned so much. I'm ready for a good lesson though. No more tough ones, I hope. I appreciate you guys so much. You have no idea how much I...

    So the troubled chick passed through the night. Now I have this single chick. What is the best advice you can give me on what to do with it. It is healthy so far. There is a mirror in with it. And the others aren't due to hatch until around the second. Also, once they hatch, am I able to return...

    Just a quick update...it is standing and walking a little. Very wobbly. Its toes are starting to straightener out. Its alert and active. Its a slight improvement, but an improvement. The second one hatched and is now in with it and mom went back to the other 4 eggs. Praying we are on the right...
