Atwoods carry chick's from Ideal hatchery and they do carry Wyandottes. I just really want a positive i.d. but I know that may be impossible. I have a pair of blue laced red Wyandotte and I like them. Heck, I'm still ecstatic about my trio of lemon, barred cochin bantams. I had to clip John's...

It was still just a flat, bare line above the beak. It was going to be a rose, walnut, or maybe a very small pea comb. I have a pair of blue laced red standard Wyandotte. The coloration is completely different than of that little pullet. The grey on her head was a darker shade than the easter...

I have another post in the "that breed is this" page, trying to find out what breed a pullet that died was. She was sick for several days before she passed but she was eating, drinking, and running around before she died. You could just tell that something wasn't right though. The sussex are...

She was sick and died later that night. I have around 40 birds, and they don't all make it. She was the only one of whatever breed she was. The only other birds I've had trouble keeping are the speckled sussex. All the rest are going strong. She had been sick for 3 or 4 days, but was eating and...

They came from atwoods and I believe they were all vaccinated. None of my other birds have had a problem. That's what is getting me.

From 3 weeks old til now. Now being around 10 or 12 weeks old (me wife would know exact age). They would just lay down and die. The 1 that is trying to die now we went thru it with her about a week and a half ago. She pulled thru but is now going bad again. We lost the other 1 earlier in the...

My wife says they're speckled sussex. The issue is that out of 5 pullets, 4 have died and the 5th is acting like she's agonna. The cockerell, on the other hand, could probably defeat an A1 Abrams before he has developed his spurs. Is this usual for sussex? I've heard both sides argued. I want to...

I really like the colors of this pullet and I really want to know what breed she is. She came out of a mixed pullet bin from Atwoods.

The first 1 is a golden cockerel, Roosevelt, of who knows what type of breeding He's the one who is thanking God that he is still alive. The second pic is Dove. She came from the same batch as all the rest from that batch that had the quail look and are serama. I would guess that she would be...

Diego be a serama! No question about it. Still have no clue to what Roosevelt be. Except he be grateful to God for still being alive after his temperfit yesterday morning. He kicked me in the chest and face trying to get me eyes. I was standing straight up and be 5'8" tall. I grabbed him on his...
