    Chicken Dazed - Not moving

    Unfortunately she passed away yesterday. She seemed to be functioning fine (no paralysis) but just wasn't moving much. Almost seemed like she wasn't all there mentally.

    Chicken Dazed - Not moving

    Hi, Two nights ago one of my chickens didn't come back to the coop. It was a pretty cold night (1-4 degrees C). In the morning I found her sitting on the front step to the coop and let her back in. I then noticed that she was acting strangely - completely in a daze like state. She has been...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Yes I'm from Nova Scotia! Are you as well? I was suspecting the same thing. Just hoping they get along well with my other roosters. Otherwise I may have to rehome them all - they are quite bonded, more so than any of my other there chicks. We will see how things sort themselves out! Love...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Here are my three, relaxing after a day of free ranging. Really loving this breed. So far they are my smartest birds and so communicative. :)

    They look like girls to me - compared to mine at least! So excited for them to start laying for you! Maggie

    Chantecler Thread!

    Hi, I got three beautiful white chanteclers from a local breeder - They are about 7 weeks now. I am stumped with these amazing, curious little chicks when it comes to their gender. There seems to be no indication with comb/wattle like I'm used to. I also can't find very much information on them...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Thanks for the reply! I figure it's always nice to post the progression of chicks, just in case there is someone trying to figure things out just like I am. It is my first time with Australorps and I don't have much to compare to. As for your girls - it sounds like I may have 3 boys one girl...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Thank you cactusrota! Here is the latest pics of 1,3 and 4 I took today. Thinking 3 is a girl for sure - no wattles. Wattles are starting on 1 & 4 but they are still looking pink. 2 looks similar to 1 & 4 - off free ranging somewhere else. I am thinking they may be girls as well but still not...

    Australorps breed Thread

    My blue australorps are just older than 6 weeks. When can one expect to see wattle development and for combs to get red? I have one that looks like it is getting pink (chick 1 in photos). I've added some photos and would love some thoughts - so impatient - almost as impatient as my chicks being...

    Chicks not roosting?

    Hi! First time chicken keeper. I put my chicks in the coop this week. They are 6-8 weeks. It's been a bit cold (going down to 5 degrees at night) so maybe they are just getting used to it. But they are all cuddling on the floor or all piled on top of eachother in the dustbath I put in there -...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Had to share the latest pics of my curious blue australorps. Outside for the first time with the ameraucanas and barred rocks. They are 3.5 weeks now. Still no idea about gender. All seem to be feathering in at the same rate. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing. I love how the...

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Elliesaurus, the names get better! I'm a total newbie but is light Orville much bigger than his darker brother? Could it be that dark Wilbur has more feathering out to do?

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    This wheaten "pullet" (3) is brighter coloured than my other two - which is what makes me think it may be a splash cockerel. The reason why I don't think it is a blue wheaten cockerel is because it looks nothing like the one i strongly think is a blue wheaten cockerel. This guy (4), has a...
