sorry to necro this thread but i wanna know wat happened. Tho I kinda thinking I have a boy :(.

sorry but what is CRD? Chronic Respiratory Disease? I think they have actually had these dots for a few weeks. I have noticed a few coughs, sneezes here and there. caught one bird doing the gasping looking movements a few days ago. Looks like a good eye and some love is all I can really offer...

Sad she has to deal with this while mid molt. Is a full treatment of antibiotics ok while she molts? seems the dura wont do anything for the pox but will keep secondary infections from taking them in a weekend state. I keep trying to give the flock extra treats. Yogurt, mealyworms, crushed up...

O wow. I had no idea. Thx for pointing that out. Come to find that these lil bumps/pox have been popping up on the combs and waddles of my other birds. Thought they were some scars from ruff playing. So dura treat the whole flock then eh?

Just noticed this today on my ameraucana I think shes a few years old. This is def not her first molt but she is molting so that explains the way she looks. However the eye thing I am sure is not normal. Its puffy right in the red around the eye on the chickens right side. I have Duramycin on...

This is my first attempt at loading videos to youtube and putting them on any forum. So here goes. This is just some fun chicken time in horse poo that I recorded while working in the yard. just after a rainstorm brought us an inch of rain last night. They look so pleased. Chickens are rad! <3...

This is all 3 of the new chicks, about 3-4 mos old now i think. The breed wasn't told to me. I'm sure you guys will know. The golden one in the front is 'Nugget' he/she is the one i'm not sure of. another shot of Nugget puffing up. Is way more brave than his other nest mates and the other two...

and yes i was told they were sexxed at a local feed store here. none of this done personally by me so I am not 100% on that info. esp with the things I am learning about roos.

ok tommoro i will get you some pics i promise since you guys were nice enuff to respond. Are they squatting for me? The 2 older hens that i have will squat for me sometimes if I am close to them. one more so than the other but none the less a definite squat. the other 3 are about 3-4 mos now...

My first post, I love the info I have been getting from these forums. Now i have my own issues. Its my first post and my first raising chickens. So I was gifted these two older birds, they are great. We added 3 new lil chix that were donated by our neighbors school. Was told all female. well i...
