Thnk you for the reply! I have wormed the whole flock this morning with valbezen. Her crop was fine, empty and her vent is clear. She layed yesterday but not yet today. I dont see any noticable weight gain of swelling. She has gotten worse though, walking rarely and very slowley from place to place.
My older wyandotte hen has been acting very lethargic lately. She is 4 or 5 years old and around 5 or 6 pounds. She is not showing any symptoms other then lethargy. No odd colored comb, no eating changes, no droopy wings. She's just not as fast or active as usual. She has been acting like this...
I have three australorps and love them. They are by far my sweetest birds. The youngest runs to me when I go into the run with them and follows me around. They lay well, almost everyday like clockwork. They are very easy to handle from a showing standard. The only problems I have are very minor...
I have birds of multiple breeds but I have a special place in my heart for my wyandotte. She is one of my most beautiful birds and only my ameraucanas lay better looking eggs. She is very sweet and independent. She lays very often as well.
I have an ameraucana rooster and two ameraucana bantam hens. All three are gorgeous birds and show very nicely all three are fine being held and do well in the show ring. My only problem with the breed is my rooster is a little mean and can be a fighter around his hens. The hens are runners and...
My rooster is constantly mating with my hens but is begining to pull out lots of feathers and cause scratches. My littlest one has a bld head and scratches all over her comb, wings, and neck. I seperate him for hours a day but he comes back in at night worse and more " charged" then before. I've...
I have ameraucanas as well and the breed omes in many different colors. Your chick looks to me like like it could be a red. It can be a bit harder to tell with this breed but if you wait a little it might be easier to tell.
I think the left two in the bottom pic are the red stars, a good rir chick is actually really light then grows up and becomes extremely dark. Red stars are a cross between rir and usually leghorns so they loook very similar but are usually much lighter when they grown up. I hope this helps!
I have 5 hens all brown layer, a wyandotte, a brahma, and threee australorps. I'm not sure which butone of my hens layed an unusually large pale egg. They're all no older then a year or so. Is this normal?
I just purchased 4 new chicks at 2 different ages. I got 2 sex linked chick at about 2 weeks and 2 brahmas at 1 month. They're all hens except for one brahma which is actually a brahma silkie mix. I have a 3 month old amauracana rooster currently that I've had since he was about 3 weeks old...
I plan on going to a local auction soon in the search for a few rhode island red hens. I've never been to an auction and I was curious as to what is a good price range your young rhode island red hens. I want them to be around 4 to 6 months as to not have a large age difference from my own hen...
