    It sure doesn't look like it has feathered feet. All Faverolles have 5 toes. Does that chick? Agreeing with allosaurus on this. Though I don't think Faverolles deserve a poor rating based on your one chick that sure doesn't seem like a faverolle and isn't a bad chick.

    Are you sure you don't have a group of bantams with one standard sized Favorelle? That's sure what it looks like to me.

    Also internally controls scaley leg mites, and was the only thing to work on my small-scaled serama's legs.

    Chick has bent or deformed leg.

    From another thread, you said that your chicks have grown up eating layer instead of starter these past two months... that calcium went straight to his knee and caused this issue. The right diet will help things so much. So glad you got that fixed, as the others will have a chance. As to him, a...

    Need help to ID the sex of my birds!

    I agree that the odds are that redrooster is right, and somebody saw you coming, with your lack of knowledge, and sold you a whole load of roosters and laughed. :I It isn't so much the tail feathers, as what are called the 'saddle feathers.' Those are the glossy feathers that fall from the...

    HELP 8 week old chick has suds coming from mouth

    I'm pretty sure, from what you describe, your chick is out of immediate danger from this issue. I doubt it has an 'infection' of the kidneys (as in bacteria), as much as overburdened kidneys caused by processing the calcium in her layer diet.The damage is already done if the excess calcium got...

    No baby chickies for me :(

    You're doing the right thing by closing the coop to snap them out of their broodiness. They won't be laying eggs, anyway, if they've been broody, for several days (this would interfere with developing babies). Dip your broodies in cold water, change their environment a little, and place a bright...

    Silky rooster turned nasty

    I had a roo that has a similar background. He thinks you all are chickens, or that he is a human, and being that his new friend is brooding, he is super protective of her, just like he would be if you all were chickens in his flock. He also is probably a bit lonely and bored. Is the hen going...

    HELP 8 week old chick has suds coming from mouth

    Birds cannot get rabies except under laboratory-induced circumstances.. So you can be assured it isn't rabies. The while suds you saw were liquid from her crop, and being that she was gasping for breath, she was injecting the air from her lungs into this heavy, gooey mixture, making it look like...

    Chicken with Vertigo - Dizzy

    Very common. I have a similar thread out with a video of my chick's dizziness. Been treating with vitamins and have been thinking about starting a tincture of Saint John's wort, being that with my girl, I see her head visibly trembling.

    question prolapsed vent or anus blood everywhere

    So sad about Beauty... As to the necromancer, a one month old chick should not have egg prolapse. Whatever vent issue you have will be different. Potentially you are seeing blood from coccidiosis? But it would perhaps be best to start a new thread for your issue, as it is not related to this at all.

    cause and cure for scaley leg.

    A picture would help here, but I've seen some pretty severe leg mite infestations, but haven't seen external lesions or scabs. The skin may grow out in large hunks and bleed, but this would be in severe cases (I saw some pictures of this on this very forum a few years back). Also, if you know...

    HELP 8 week old chick has suds coming from mouth

    Okay-- she probably had a layer pellet stuck in her crop. I'm so glad you changed them to starter or grower. They're going to need additional grits ASAP. They have been overdosed on calcium and have not had enough protein, I'll warrant. Apple cider vinegar in their water would be great to...
