Could this be cyanosis? I found her laying down in the coop, not in the box. Picking her up easy and she just drooped in my arms. I laid her down in the bathtub and she laid flat like she was already dead. I put just a little bit of warm water with epsom salt for a little while. She perked up...
I have 2 Barred Rock and 3 leghorns with a Beilfiedel (spelling?) rooster who are all 2 years old. I also have 2 mixed breed hens that I incubated from my hens who are 6 months old. Large coop and large 10×20 run. My 2 barred rocks have stopped laying. Its been 2 weeks. At first I thought one...
It was just watery and slightly beige colored. No chunks. Weather has been warm but not as warm as it typically is this time of year in Texas. We've had more rain than usual. They have a lot of grit available
Yesterday one of my young hens (6 months) started vomiting. I immediately noticed her crop was swollen. I massaged her crop and she expelled a lot. No sour smell that I noticed though. Immediately after she seemed to be starving. I separated her though and brought her in the house away from the...
I got two baby easter eggers to add to my flock. (Our 4th grade teachers incubated eggs in science) I dont know if each were born on the exact same day or a few days apart. They are approximately 4 weeks old. I picked two that had the exact same wing and tail length. However one is now slightly...
Thanks! We've been getting lots of white with black spot leghorns due to the cross breeding. Is it safe to say this is just a regular brown leghorn? Wondering if it would have any unique markings like the white ones.
Roo is a Belfiedel. Hen is either a white or brown leghorn (I have both). The picture of the baby is a day old just hatched yesterday. The picture of the bigger girl is a 10 week old pullet.
In my last two incubation sessions, Ive lost 1or 2 just as they hatch. They pip, rest and then stop progressing. Both times, they've been kicked/rolled around as others are hatching around them. Is it possible they got rolled too much? What can I do to stop this from happening? Both times I had...
How did yours turn out? I just hatched my white hen and biel roo about 7 weeks ago...they all (5) came out white with black spots...i kept two and one of them is smaller than the other. One is huge but has no signs of being a rooster other than size. Is it possible that the Biel genes just made...
