    Lethargic Rooster

    Started noticing him yesterday just standing there, he's got a bit of foam on his beak. Any suggestions on what it could be? All other chickens are fine and those are his only symptoms.

    Silkie Gender Identification

    I know it's almost impossible to tell unless they're laying but these are my first silkies, could anyone give me their guesses on gender? I'm betting the red comb is a roo and probably mixed considering it has pink feet too. There are 2 pictures of each, 4 birds total. Thanks guys! ❤️

    Follicle issue with newly hatched chick

    I'm going to be honest, most of the eggs were from barred rocks but I do have some feather footed barn yard mixes in there that could have Cochin blood they all have orange regular feathers tho

    Is this Silkie mixed with something else?

    I hatched this from a lady who raises silkies. But I have a sneaking suspicion that with the smooth feathers and pink feet it's daddy is not who she thinks lol. The skin is a light grey but with pink feet and comb. Definitely has 5 toes on both feet. Any ideas? Is this just a random phenomenon...

    What's wrong with feed store/hatchery chicks this year?

    They did great the first couple days, then I noticed sudden onset of fatigued. I administered probiotic/electrolytes and when I noticed them not eating tried the raw egg yolk. They all get magic chick water when I first bring them home and also medicated chick feed. They just don't make it. None...

    What's wrong with feed store/hatchery chicks this year?

    I've never in my almost 10 years of raising chickens had so many baby chicks die. The ones I've hatched are doing great. But I've had 4 of the same breeds from two different feed stores die despite my efforts to save them. 2 buff brahmas from Rural King and 2 Buff Orpingtons from tractor Supply...

    Sapphire Gem Rooster?

    I was told this was a sapphire gem pullet by the lady I got the hatching eggs from but I have my doubts. Attitude, size, and comb all have me questioning even the breed(comb made me think it could be mixed with an Easter egger). I've never raised Sapphire gems before so I was hoping to get...
