    What breed are these chicks from TSC?

    I think your correct…. Colors are similar, but the legs on yours have a greenish tinge which is normal for EE, and mine are pink. Guess I got bamboozled again by TSC:he

    What breed are these chicks from TSC?

    Without going into a lot of detail, I’ve always had a hard time with TSC chicks. From wrong genders (7 out of 8 “pullets” were roo’s) to sick and dying chicks. Told myself I was no longer going to buy chicks from them, but couldnt say no to them when I went in for gardening supplies. I am...

    Is my hen egg bound? Or is something else wrong?

    What’s the best way to administer the calcium or tums? Disintegrate in water? Crush it and feed it? All I have on hand is Corid, what’s recommended for a bacterial infection?

    Is my hen egg bound? Or is something else wrong?

    Hi all, I have a hen that has been “off” the past 3-4 weeks. Her comb/wattles are occasionally pale. I’ve picked her up and looked her over and there isn’t any obvious physical defects and I can’t palpate anything. Her stools are normal from what I’ve seen. I haven’t seen any bullying going on...

    Wheaten Maran/EE cross egg colors?

    So no chance at blue I take it? I currently have a Whitings True Blue rooster that I was thinking of breeding to the EE hens… would their off spring have a chance of laying blue eggs?

    Wheaten Maran/EE cross egg colors?

    Recently got some Wheaten Maran/EE crosses and was trying to figure out what egg colors are possibile. The roo was the Maran, and the hens where EE’s that were both blue and green egg layers. The roo came from a decently dark egg (roughly a 4-5), and it’s sibling also lay around that color...

    Is the poo normal?

    Hi all, for the past week I’ve noticed some yellow poop coming from my flock. I did do a food change roughly 2-3 weeks ago, to Poulin’s Grain Organic Grower Pellets and they were previously on a chick crumble. I noticed a week ago it was thick and gelatinous almost, and now it appears thinner...

    3 week old chicks suddenly dying

    Following... let me know if you figure anything out. I’ve had two batches of chicks die, the last batch all 7 died within an hour. It sounds like they all died the same way as yours. I had both batches 2-3 weeks each before they died. I am on day 4 of new chicks from a local breeder, and came...
