    Buff hen or rooster??

    This chick is about 4 weeks. It's supposed to be a Buff hen. But it's comb is much larger than the same age Rhode Island Red. Am I worried for nothing or might this be a rooster?

    Advice for Cornish cross chicks dying

    I used only water and MannaPro organic starter for the first 6 weeks. Then I mixed 50% starter and 50% conventional meat feed the last 2 weeks. We left all 9 of them whole. We put them in vacuum seal freezer bags.

    Advice for Cornish cross chicks dying

    They do taste delicious! We did a batch last year but only lost 1 at about 2 weeks. I just worry I'm doing something wrong. I don't want to make my family sick.

    Advice for Cornish cross chicks dying

    we lost 2 at about 4 weeks and 1 today at 6 1/2 weeks. Is this normal? I thought I read somewhere to expect to lose 10-30%. This would be 3 of 10. Each time they started to act very tired for about a day or so before they died. We are feeding organic starter mixed with conventional meat feed...

    Cornish cross

    This is just our 2nd year raising Cornish cross. Last year we lost 1 of the chicks after a couple weeks. This year we lost 2 at about 4 weeks and 1 today at 6 1/2 weeks. Is this normal? I thought I read somewhere to expect to lose 10-30%. This would be 3 of 10.

    Sneezing chicken

    I have a Cornish cross that started shaking her head a couple days ago. Tonight it sounds like she's sneezing. We plan to butcher next week. Should I be concerned?

    Missing feathers

    A while back I noticed my Americana was missing feathers from her back. Otherwise, she seems fine. Today I noticed by Barred Rock missing some feathers from her chest. I have no roosters. What could be causing this?
