    Prolapsed vent !!!

    I have a polish hen who I have been trying to get rid of the mites/lice on for MONTHS! With no avail, today I went out to find she has prolapsed her vent. I have brought her home, but she is not able to stay since her infestation is so bad. I have pushed her vent back in about 6 times so far...

    WC Black polish sexing

    Thank you LovePolish2! I am hoping that the little "tomboy" is just sending mixed signals because its hatchery stock. My other polish hen took almost a year to lay. I will for sure be updating with more pictures!

    WC Black polish sexing

    Sweet! What about the crowing? I have a bantam coching that I KNOW is a roo, and the polish attempts to copy it. Granted, you can tell the difference between each bird's crow. The polish also has a "personality" compared to the other polish who is currently getting ALL the feathers plucked out...

    WC Black polish sexing

    Am I a man or a husky female?

    I added a picture from a day earlier to show more of the body color too. Thank you for your input! I hope it turns out to be a hen but if I only have 1 roo out of this bunch I'll be happy.

    Am I a man or a husky female?

    I added this one since it shows the color of the feathers better I have a 3 week (will be 4 week old on Monday 3/25) Bantam golden laced cochin. I am wondering if I can tell the sex yet. This bird LOVES to sit on my leg/jump on my arm and we call him/her "team leader" since it is the most...

    Bedding question

    Thank you! They have had the save-a-chick in there for 2 days already. I do have poly vi sol, should I give that one a drop? They were on pine shavings before, and they are already trying to dust themselves. I figured it was irritating their lungs. We took them out of the brooder for about 25...

    6 week old chicks eating corn cob bedding!

All are eating and drinking no problem. They are just over a week old now. Is the corn cob ok? I feel it is better...
