    HELP! SICK CHICK!

    My two week old chick just all of a sudden started running a fever and breathing heavy and rapidly. It also has a little bit of pasty-butt and it has a coarse sounding chirp along with frequent sneezes. It almost seems like a chicken form of a cold. What can I do to help my little guy get...

    VERY early hatcher: what to do?

    What type of comb would this be?

    She has not laid yet,but I'm guessing that she still has a few weeks to go before she starts her first laying season.

    What type of comb would this be?

    Here is some information on her. She has four and a half toes on each foot(her back toe splits into two), she has random red streaks mostly on her chest but she has white spots on her wing feathers and head feathers. Her mother was a RIR and her dad was a molted houdan. Is there a name for this...
