I'm not sure what angles you would want the pictures at. If you want specific views let me know.

1) What type of bird , age and weight Serama Cockerel 5months of age, no change in weight in the last month 2) What is the behavior, exactly. He cannot rise from a laying position. Walks fine after being placed upright. You must pick him up, straighten out his legs and set him down. When...

So my 8yo son adopted his much loved Spangled OEGB cockerel that was rescued from a wildfire a few months back. We have the opportunity to pick up a bb red oegb pullet and I'm wondering what color they would produce if we hatched their eggs. (Sorry, if it's a silly question! I'm an Orpington...

Here is another view.

What color (if any named color applies) would you say this is? Every now and then I get one of these from one of my blue silkie hens. Thanks!

So we lost the pullet. I still am not sure what was wrong. I suspect the rooster was suffering from a vitamin deficiency because he has returned completely to normal after a few days of polyvisol and selenium. We have one other pullet that has been living with them and she has exhibited no...

Nope the house is about 70. I think I'm going to get some tylan and try that.

We seperated them and the pullet is still hunched but eating and drinking. But I noticed she has her mouth open often. No abnormal breathing sounds though. No smells or drainage. The roo--- idk. He is either having intermittent issues or he is faking it? Lol There are times he appears unable...

They have not lost weight yet. And I am tracking their weight.

I'm not even sure if their symptoms are even related to each other. Very frustrating. I dewormed them again with ivermectin. I started electrolytes in their water. Poly-vi-sol w/o iron twice a day. Selenium once a day. Also feed additive that has healthy oils and extra vitamin e. And then I'll...

When I pick up the rooster his legs stay in the laying down position, after I gently straighten them he can stand and walk well.

I was told they had been wormed but I am going to worm them again right now.

pullet: crop is empty and flat, inside of her mouth is clear and appears to be a uniform pink color cockerel: I can feel the food in his crop that he just ate firm and grainy, mouth clear and uniform pink color

poops are light to medium dark brown and firm. I cannot say for sure that they have never been outside.

My daughter has three indoor seramas she got in December. Yesterday she noticed her pullet was not as perky as normal and I cannot find anything other than that wrong. Today we noticed her cockerel was not up walking around. I have no idea what is going on and I am worried we could be seeing...
