    Chicken pulling out her own feathers

    She is likely molting. It's that time of year. Give her time, the feathers will grow back

    Does Coccidia show up in chicks only a week old?

    I did briefly consider this possibility. Suppose I would indeed need to get it checked by a vet to know for certain..

    Does Coccidia show up in chicks only a week old?

    I'm having a run of bad luck this season with my Cornish cross. I received a shipment of 60 healthy, lively chicks, all eager to eat and drink as soon as I got them into the stall. I usually start them on probiotics/electrolytes for 1 day then switch to normal water. This time around, I had...

    Cornish Cross are acting off

    Thank you for this! I went ahead and treated their water with the severe outbreak dosage. I'm hoping I can save them In time... I should have known better. I'm not new to coccidia, I just thought I was two steps ahead this time. (Also the other odd symptoms threw me off) ((on a 2nd note, I've...

    Cornish Cross are acting off

    Ahh, I'm an idiot. Everything really does point to coccidia. I hope I can manage to treat them and save most of them... Here is to hoping the investment doesn't go down the drain!

    Cornish Cross are acting off

    I'll see what else I can do for coccidia, but what about the neurological issues?

    Cornish Cross are acting off

    I have a batch of 60 Cornish cross chicks that are now about 1 month old. I just got them moved from the barn to outside. They are sharing a "chicken tractor" with other regular chicks of a similar age or older. (Some of the other chicks were also raised alongside these Cornish and just got...

    TSC chicks…breed?

    Hints of blue down?

    I learned that you can somewhat tell if they will have any blue/black/splash at all by checking the wings. Not always can you tell this young, but the light grey was a dead giveaway.

    Hints of blue down?

    The EE chick with the light grey wings looked very similar to this! Unfortunately she is no longer with us, and I don't have any pics on hand of her

    Hints of blue down?

    Over all, the EE chick with the light greyish wings turned out to be a buff and blue colored girl. The other one was black and buff looking. And the BlRW was indeed a blue! (Not splash or black). Sadly I don't have pictures on hand to show off. But they do look similar to one of the previous...
