    Look like roosters, act like hens

    First two pictures is the rooster with no comb, also it’s not that clear in the pics but the two”hens” are much shorter than the roosters, especially hen 1. “She” is tiny, around the same height as my white rock

    Look like roosters, act like hens

    I’m very confused about some mixed chickens I have. I have 4. 2 I know for sure are roosters, but 2 look just like roosters but act and are treated like hens. They’re are still too young to lay eggs so I’m not positive. But with the two that look/act like hens, my other roosters want to mate...

    Sick rooster?

    I believe my rooster is sick. He’s standing completely still with his tail down. Not making a sound. He was completely fine yesterday, his comb isn’t pale, I don’t understand what could be wrong with him. He keeps moving his mouth, and made an almost inaudible noise. (Sounds similar to the noise...

    Dying chick with cocci, corid treatment help

    Sorry, the chick had passed shortly after I had posted this. I’ve hatched/raised two sets of chicks before and never experienced cocci. The other ones I raised I had always fed them medicated feed and put probiotics in their water a couple days out of the week. I didn’t feed this set medicated...

    Dying chick with cocci, corid treatment help

    I have a 3 week old chick that I believe has cocci. The chick will not eat or drink. I bought corid, 9.6 and put 9ml in a gallon of water. I gave the chick a little with a syringe. But have not seen any improvement in the past couple hours. Should I give more? How much? Or should I give...

    Something is wrong with my chicken

    After recording her, I believe she’s just hurt her foot. I’ve been doing other projects around the house, so honestly I haven’t been paying that much attention to them during the day.just occasionally glancing at them, making sure they’re alright. I open their door, make sure they all come out...

    Something is wrong with my chicken

    That’s a possibility too, that’s she’s just hurt her feet somehow. I’m going to the store tomorrow morning, I’m gonna get some epsom salt, and let her soak in that and put some garlic in her water. I’ve read both of those are good for chickens.

    Something is wrong with my chicken

    I will get a video tomorrow, everything I’ve been watching and googling has shown up many possibilities, and what I’ve read about mareks is that I’ll have to put her down. I’m really hoping that’s not the case. I’ve become very attached to all my chickens

    Something is wrong with my chicken

    No, I had got her and another hen from a friend a few months ago, she’s probably around 2 yrs old. I’m not sure if they have any vaccines. this is my first time owning chickens, I honestly didn’t know there was a vaccine for that. I’ve seen videos of chickens that have mareks, but I haven’t read...

( they occasionally do this When it’s really hot out, so I wasn’t that concerned about that) she walks around just fine but when you pick her up and sit her back down, she does something strange with...

    What’s wrong with my eggs?

    Thank you, it did. thank you, I believe she may be older. The person I got her and my rooster from only told me the age of the rooster( I assumed they were around the same age) it has also been getting very hot where I live. I’ve seen no signs of illness, they all seem happy and healthy. The...

    My buff Orpington has laid two weird eggs this week. I’ve seen that chickens will do this occasionally, but I just want to make sure nothings wrong with her, and if the eggs are still good to eat. She usually lays an egg every other day. Last week she only laid one. This week she laid one that’s...

    Sexing barred rock(Plymouth Rock) chicks

    I was really hoping to have just one cockerel, can’t be that lucky though. I can only keep one cockerel. We only have 3 hens right now and a rooster. So no need for anymore
