    Is this a Roo?

    Is this a Roo?

    Here is an update at 10 weeks old. No “red” coming in on the wings but is getting some gray. A definite hook to the tail and holds it upright most of the time. Comb is not very red. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Heartache of chicken keeping

    I needed to hear that today. I lost my Coco (EasterEgger) yesterday and she was my favorite buddy.

    I had to add this picture because she was my favorite chicken ever and I lost her yesterday.

    Is this a Roo?

    No red that I can see. The wings are more white than the body.

    Is this a Roo?

    This one chick (3 weeks old) seems to be getting bigger than my other 7. The feet are bigger and it is a bit taller than the others as well. Do I have a Roo? It's a very friendly Easter Egger.

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    Final update - hopefully....my little one seems back to normal. I am still supplementing with Vitamin E and NutraDrench in the water, but she is back to being "one of the gang" with the other 7 chicks. I think she is going to make it. 🩷 Going to keep up the extra vitamins for a few weeks as...

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    Another update for an additional problem: Now she seems to have a swollen chest. It is squishy and I tried to massage it. She wasn't too happy about that. I've read it could be a blocked crop, pneumonia, water belly...... she's been eating and drinking a lot by herself with no problem. She does...

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    Thanks so much. I did mix Vit E with food last night and she ate it. I fed her water (with vitains and electrolytes) with a dropper. She was chirping so loudly last night that I tried putting her back with the others. She settled right in and slept with them all night. Although she is moving...

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    Update: I believe she has Wry Neck. She is eating a lot! and moving around but tends to walk in circles. I added Vit E to her feed and a drop of molasses to her water-soaked bread. Right now she is chirping - loudly - because she is separated from her buddies. I also gave her a few drops of...

    1 wk old baby Brahma was laying on side and couldn't lift head

    She was fine just a few hours ago and running around in her pen with the others. It seemed she hurt her neck somehow. She doesn't appear to be pecked and there is no blood or wounds that I can see. She appeared to be trying to pick her head up but couldn't. She was laying on her side with her...
