    What's wrong with my chickens?

    Alright, thanks for the advice. I tend to give chickens antibiotics since I gave it to some chickens that had a respiratory thing but it cleared right up when I gave it to them.

    Sick chicken!

    Sorry, haven't been on BYC in a few months. My polish got worse and we had to put her down. We also had a chicken die today from what seems like similar symptoms, just a few months apart. I put a thread up on Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures about the problem.

    What's wrong with my chickens?

    Today one if my favorite chickens died. She had been fine one day, then started to spend more and more time inside the coop. I immediately brought her inside for a checkup after noticing her behavior. She didn't appear to be sick except for the fact that she kept laying down in the corner of the...

    Sick chicken!

    I have a 7 month old polish who's been acting sick. First it started with a limp, now she can't stand up. We've been giving her vitamins and minerals daily along with food and water. We make her eggs and she eats willingly, so she has an appetite. I was thinking mareks or maybe a riboflavin...

    Looking for black and mottled java breeders that breed to the Standard of Perfection

    This has probably been posted before, but does anyone know any breeders that have black and/or mottled Java's that are being bred for show? I would prefer if they ship. I don't have a price limit.

    Future survival chicken project?

    At the moment, I only have a bunch of laying hens and roosters of various breeds and a few silkies that I've had a few breeding experiments with. I'm really into prepper things and survivalist stuff, but I love chickens too. This made me wonder, what chicken breed would I use if I was in a...

    Check my silkies for DQ's!

    By the way, the girl looks way worse now that she started to lay eggs. But I think she is infertile.

    Check my silkies for DQ's!

    I have multiple silkies that I got from someone at the 2021 Ohio Nationals. I paid the breeder $150 for a "show potential" pair. When I got them, I checked for mites and lice, plus checked for sneezing, discharge from the nose and runny eyes. They were both good. I got a black bearded silkie...
