Araucana thread anyone?
Asking all the Araucana people, is this breed prone to compacted poo as chicks? I have a 2 day old who had a hard white poo the size of a large pea blocking up its vent. I noticed the chick straining to go and the vent was very swollen. It had pushed so hard that the vent was actually tearing a...- LilacChicken

High Desert, California!!
Hi everyone, I'm in Yucca Valley, recently moved from the San Fernando Valley. I'm planning on converting my metal tool shed into a coop since it's already anchored down onto the best spot on the east side of the house and so will be sheltered from afternoon sun and hold strong against the wind...- LilacChicken

Rooster Collar
Mine gave me the little I'm dying show too, back flips, running backwards, laying down playing dead, open mouth breathing, and finally just sitting there glaring at me because I called him out for being a faker. I watched him very closely throughout the who charade and he was breathing fine and...- LilacChicken

Trying to figure out gender
If one or both turn out to be boys is there anyone in the Los Angeles area that might like to adopt them? Not for dinner. :) I don't think they'd be very meaty anyway. I would be willing to drive them out a little ways if necessary. I know it's still a bit early to tell, but I just want to make...- LilacChicken

Trying to figure out gender
Also, they seem to do a bit of sparring when I have them outside to play. From what I read this is normal for both genders at this age, but today the little polish jumped on the cochin's back and just perched there for a minute. The little cochin continued to walk around happily giving a...- LilacChicken

Trying to figure out gender
So I think what I have here is a little boy WCB polish and possibly little girl frizzled Cochin, but I'm new to chickens so I wanted some more educated opinions. I was really hoping for 2 girls because I can't keep a roo :(. Also, not sure if it's a cochin or a mutt, or a frizzle or a frazzle...- LilacChicken
