    Cochin Chick Not Growing Feathers

    Thank you so much for your reply!! I don't think this baby is frizzled - they don't offer the self blue Cochins in frizzled varieties, and I haven't personally noticed any feather curling. She grew out feathers for maybe the first 2 weeks of her life, and they seemed straight and healthy, and...

    Cochin Chick Not Growing Feathers

    Hello everyone! I have a little self blue cochin chick that I bought from one of my personal favorite hatcheries, Ideal Poultry. Unfortunately, this year was not a great year considering their genetics, as in the same batch I had a chick with pus coming from its eyes. Even with assisted feeding...

    Lemon Blue Silkie Rooster?

    Hey there! One again back from a break to ask if this silkie rooster looks even a little bit close to Lemon Blue? I'm thinking about crossing Lemon Blue cochins with him to possibly make a Lemon Blue silkie. His mom was a buff, while his father was a black crossed blue(?). He hatched out...

    Duck not eating, appears weak and "tired"

    Thank you for responding with so much detail! I bathed her last night in warm water and Epsom salt - she did get more lively and more energetic after that. She also began to eat a little bit more. Some information I forgot to mention is that shes been pooping noticeably less, so that's why I'm...

    Duck not eating, appears weak and "tired"

    Hello there! I have this small Indian runner duck, who we call Mama duck, who is the survivor of a predator attack that took her leg. We've been helping her since she's lost her leg, and she does a pretty dang good job at getting around. Recently, however, she has seem less interested in food...

    4 ~8 month old laying hens for trade/sale!

    Thank you for the wishes! Super sad to hear you're so far away - but thank you for reaching out and responding! I've never had chickens live to 11 years; but I'm hoping since this is only my second time having them that I can help them reach that age. Sounds like yours had a good life and...

    4 ~8 month old laying hens for trade/sale!

    Hello there all! I have 4 roughly 8 month old laying hens which I got from TSC on April 5th this year. I'm looking to possibly trade these 4 for more oriental breeds like Polish/cochins/Ayam cemanis/Phoenix and more. Only breeds I'm unwilling to accept are Silkies. I originally got them for...

    Back again to add another little update to this young girl! The same information as provided on the post about her a bit ago- She was bought from TSC She was from a mixed bin with wyandottes There were bantams and other breeds available that day I'm pretty sure my TSC supplies from either...

    Gray TSC chick, reasking breed

    Hello there once again! I dont know when (I think about 2 weeks ago) I asked what this chick might be! Well, she's now bigger and mostly fully feathered. Starting to question if she is a he due to her slow feathering - she's got gorgeous blue/gray feathers! (Sorry for picture quality)...

    Sebright?

    Here's a better view of her comb! It would be a really fun surprise if she is a D'anver! Saw some photos of them and definitely agree she looks like one!

    Sebright?

    Hello there all once more! I was actually confident with this one when I got her, as she had the pea comb, slate legs and appearance of a sebright when she was littler. Is she just a hatchery quality not as vibrant sebright/will she get brighter or darker when older, or is she just a different...
