    Is this canker?

    The majority of them I got from cackle hatchery and greenfire farms. All were vaccinated. 5 I got from a guy in Michigan that is NPIP certified, didn't ask about vaccinations because they were the first ones I got and honestly didn't know until after I got them. I got polish about 2 months I...

    Is this canker?

    There is no odor but the chicken I had with sour crop didn't have an odor either I I hear that stinks too. I did the acidified copper sulfate. She went from squishy crop to now having a hard crop. I also have looked for mold and didn't find any. I disinfect the feeders and waterers regularly...

    Is this canker?

    I've had problems with multiple chickens. They start off limping, then go lame. They sometimes will move one leg bot won't stand on it, others have lost movement in one leg toes are not curled. They open and close their mouths, not necessarily panting but repetitive. Decrease weight, generally...

    Several chickens with different ailments

    I know for sure the majority were vaccinated. I know that chicken #4 wasn't and I'm assuming that chicken #3 wasn't either. As for moldy feed, we take the feeders in every night. Our area seems to grow mold fast though. There is spillage from them eating but I try to move the feeders around to...

    Several chickens with different ailments

    I wondered about that because it seems that mold grows easily here. This is why we never leave any feed out and only buy 1-2 bags at a time. It has been wet and rainy here and added pea gravel into their run to keep it as dry as possible, and has helped a ton. I've seen mold growing under some...

    Several chickens with different ailments

    We don't have anything that I'm aware of laying around. The one we took to the emergency vet a while ago did xrays to check for that as well and didn't find anything.

    #2 has complete mobility of her toes. Curls them around my finger. #3 I don't see anything in throat or eyes. Only sign is sneezing. He's always been on the lighter side compared to all my other polish.

    This is #4. That was my initial thought but he is just like this and a little tucked in. You don't think the #1 sounds like sour crop?

    Several chickens with different ailments

    We are new to chickens - just got chicks this spring. This is probably going to end up being a long post because I have a few birds with different issues going on, so bear with me. Chicken #1 (Tina) is a Jersey Giant hen. About 3 or 4 weeks ago she started walking around with her neck cocked to...

    "Americana" pullet or cockerel?

    Thank you! I should have posted a picture of them here beforehand and definitely learned my lesson. She sent me a poor quality picture and thought I would be able to tell better in person, but couldn't with their molting. Is there any advice you can give to help me identify better in the future...

    "Americana" pullet or cockerel?

    I did contact her. She informed me that she told me that I didn't have to buy them and she won't take them back. She claims she is getting rid of her flock due to "health declining and she is unable to care for them". What really bothers me is that she if she didn't sell them to me, she was...

    "Americana" pullet or cockerel?

    I just bought 3 chickens and they were supposed to be hens. I am new to having chickens and haven't raised this breed and feel like their feathers are a lot different than my others, it doesn't help that they are molting too. Are all of these roosters? I feel like I got scammed.
