    Cream Legbar cross pheasant? HepA

    Update. Thanks for the help everyone. Sadly, little Finch passed away. There was nothing to her at all despite being manually fed constantly. She was always cheeping too- which i know chock do, but they usually stop when they're sleeping- but Finch didn't. I'm thinking there must have been an...

    Cream Legbar cross pheasant? HepA

    That's good to know- I do have buff orpington males, so it's possible. Sadly tough, little finch passed away. the silkie was doing a great job with her- letting her nest under her wings and showing her how to feed- but she still wasn't eating, and I was manually feeding her. Then about n hour...

    Cream Legbar cross pheasant? HepA

    Will do. Its 3.52am now and i've just finished her night time feed and i'm trawling the web in search of clues but i honestly have no idea. She isn;t any bigger than day 1- all my previous chicks have been much larger at this point. I've never hatched phesants or bantams though, so i don't know...

    Cream Legbar cross pheasant? HepA

    So... I have several breeds of hens and roos, and one cream legbar. They have access to 18 acres but generally stick close to the coop. Except my legbar and salmon faverolle hens who tend to wonder further afield, but always together. There are often pheasants around- and up until a week or so...

    Help! Prolapse with egg inside it!

    Update- thanks for all the advice- it proved very helpful- she is absolutely fine and laying every 3 days! I kept her at home in a quiet place under a dark heat lamp, bathed her in epsom salts nightly and after a few days she was pooping without any prolapsing, so a few more days and i returned...

    Help! Prolapse with egg inside it!

    I dont have acess to tums or calcium tablets but i have given her more crushed shells... her bath seemed to help in that her prolapse has gone down- but i couldn't soak off all the weird white stuff. Not sure if it's healed skin or really caked on poop. Going to bathe her again later. I squirted...

    Help! Prolapse with egg inside it!

    Hi, My Buff orpington hens are just stadting to lay but last night i found 1 of our hens had a major prolapse. Upon examining it, i could tell the egg was still inside of the prolapse, but hanging out of the hen. So carefully i lubed up and put it back into the hen. I could also feel another egg...

    Clean legs whereas the buff orp has feathers growing on the legs. The neck feathers are buff, but along the spine are grey feathers with a similar pattern to the wings, and a buff line of feathers just before the tail feathers. No feathers under the wings yet, but chest feathers are starting to...

    Chick identification

    This was taken today- almost 3 weeks old now. The neck has some buff feathers coming in, but the back is going the same as the wings. Still jo clue as to the breed/cross breed.

    I'll post up a pic every week. The colours on the wings are getting stronger every day- they seem darker today. Pic to follow. (Once i can get chickie still enough to get a decent photo). :)
