    Can Anyone Identify the Breed?

    Can anyone tell me why his earlobes are yellow? I know nothing about True Blues except what I learned here, but I've never seen any chicken images where the rooster had yellow earlobes. It does not appear to be an infection of any kind - close up, his earlobes look perfectly normal except for...

    Can Anyone Identify the Breed?

    Easter Egger? Hmmmm....Okay, I'll go with that because I'm pretty sure that Tractor Supply has sold them in the past, although they had nothing but the buff's when I picked up this straight run. Whatever he is, he sure is pretty. I'm going to try to breed him with some of my buff hens. I just...

    Wow, he looks very similar to the "buff orpington" I got as part of a straight run from Tractor Supply. Here's my link if you want to see my bird: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/can-anyone-identify-the-breed.1614135/

    Can Anyone Identify the Breed?

    He's absolutely gorgeous but there's no way he's a Buff Orpington. He was part of a straight run of Buff Orpington's although as a chick, he looked exactly like the Orpington's in every respect but suddenly, he's become this gorgeous peacock but I cannot identify the breed. A mix of some sort...

    HELP! Perkin duck can't stand and falls over, wobbles head, tearing eyes, panting

    :( Beaker died this morning. I guess my efforts were just implemented too late. Poor little guy, we started helping him eat/drink over the past two days because he was flopping around so badly he couldn't sit still long enough to eat and hydrate unless we held him. I'm still not sure this...

    HELP! Perkin duck can't stand and falls over, wobbles head, tearing eyes, panting

    Thank you for the information. I've got to run out today for more feed, so I'll pick up the B complex. Yes, he's eating very well. He gets regular duck pellets and that's why I thought it couldn't be a vitamin deficiency - because these are supposed to be specially formulated for the niacin...

    HELP! Perkin duck can't stand and falls over, wobbles head, tearing eyes, panting

    I have a Crested Pekin Duck, appx 8 weeks old and it sounds like it's the same issue I have. I noticed he was stumbling when he was walking. He'd fall down, get up, stumble like a drunk, fall down, etc. I immediately removed him from the duck run, gave him activated charcoal and waited. 2...
