    Very sudden sick chicken

    Thanks for your reply. I put her in a box with water and gave her some poultry cell and tylan since it was what I had. Unfortunately when I checked on her again she had died. Regarding Mareks she was vaccinated, but should I be worried for the rest of my flock? I don’t have a rooster so I...

    Very sudden sick chicken

    Hi all, I have a sapphire Jewel who is about 6 months old. She has been very normal, but as far as I can tell hasn’t started laying yet. Today, I went in the coop and she was laying under the roost bars breathing really heavy and unable to move. Her legs are really hot to the touch and she is...

    Breed I.D?

    This is hen is a year old, and I got her from tractor supply in the barred rock bin. However, I have since added some adult barred rocks to my group, and noticed she is not quite the same as them. Any thoughts? I think she typically lays a medium brown sometimes dark brown egg, but have also...

    Winter temps and chick location

    Thank you! Read through the thread this was very helpful. 🤞🏻 fingers crossed all mine make it but will definitely do the angling/cave trick. The space I have for them under my poop boards is a kind of u-shape, but the flat part of the u should have plenty of space for them while they’re mostly...

    Winter temps and chick location

    Thank you, I will attach some photos once it is daylight out here! Yes walls are solid and they have probably 5 full size windows that open for ventilation and two at the top that stay open for ventilation. It was a contractor hobby project, so naturally he wanted all the things. I’ve had full...

    Easter Egger Sexing

    Attached are pictures of my 4 week old easter Egger's combs. I know they are probably too young to sex, but with the dramatic difference in combs between 1 & 2 and 3, I wanted to check in here and see if you all had any thoughts. Will probably take more pictures around 8 weeks old and check in...

    What breed and sex are these? 7 week old

    thank you! The bantam had me puzzled too. Doing my best to learn about the different qualities between cockerels and pullets at this age from other posts, but it's tricky!

    What breed and sex are these? 7 week old

    I am new to chickens, so I am a little unsure of the possible breed and gender on these three chicks. The first one came from the Speckled Sussex pullet bin from TSC, and looks to be likely that breed but not sure about gender. The second one came from the straight run assorted bantam bin at...
