Thank you for posting this, very interesting!

Wondering since this thread was started a while back, some of the original posters might be able to give us an update? I have 2 blue laced red Wyandottes that are doing the same thing.

I have a beautiful salmon faverolle rooster that I, unfortunately, need to find a new home for. His name is Elvis, born 5/1/21 so at the time of this posting he is approximately 16 weeks old. This spring I ended up with two surprise boys. I live in a town in New Mexico which has a rooster ban...

Hello NM 🌞 I have a sweet Salmon Faverolle rooster that I, unfortunately, need to find a new home for. His name is Elvis, born 5/1/21, so at the time of this posting, he’s ~16 weeks old. I live in Rio Rancho which has a rooster ban but this spring I ended up with 2 surprise boys. I’ve done...

Thanks—good advice I just noticed that I checked the wrong forum box! I meant to post in the rehoming forum 🙃 I didn’t know there was state forums—I definitely need to look for that one.

I have a sweet salmon faverolle rooster that I unfortunately have to rehome. His name is Elvis, born 5/1/21, so at the time of this posting, he’s ~16 weeks old. I live in Rio Rancho, NM which has a rooster ban but this spring I ended up with 2 males. I only have 11 girls but I really didn’t...

Thanks for asking 🙂. Nope no metal, just plastic. The next day after I posted this, she looked a lot worse, I decided to go ahead and treat for possible mites with permethrin and she’s actually looking better, her neck feathers are coming in, her poor little face is finally starting to get...

My 3 week old BO has bald spots/feather loss to her face. I just reviewed pics and videos since day 1, and it looks like around 3-4 days old it becomes noticeable. Initially I didn’t think she scratched at her face that much, but after going back and watching videos, she actually does seem to...

Addendum: I went back to look at older pictures & videos and it looks like by day 3-4, I can see the changes on her face. I need to correct what I stated above, in the videos she actually does seem to be scratching at her face a lot more than I thought even from 1 day old — and I’m not so sure...

Hi All— Hoping someone can help me with this one. I’ve never had a chick that appeared to have bald spots on the face—not sure if it’s something to be concerned about or totally normal. She’s a 3 wk old Buff Orpington, super active, eats/drinks well, normal poop, good weight gain...she is the...

Thank you for those signs to look out for, very helpful! I'm keeping my fingers crossed she's just a feisty chick 🤞

Thanks. Definitely like that response over that’s a boy, no doubt!

Hello friends. Could use some help and advice with sexing this little one. I picked up 4 babies last week, the other 3 were just a day old (and other breeds) and this one was already 2 weeks old so I don’t have that useful tool of comparing their body shapes, height, feathering...Also bummed...

I know, it would’ve be very helpful to know exactly what I’ve been dealing with this entire time. I’ve also been to several ‘avian’ vets dozens of times when the illnesses initially started and unfortunately received many misdiagnoses and poor advice. This board has offered much more accurate...

I really think it is canker based on symptoms (yellow oral plaques, GI symptoms) and the fact that they actually respond when they’re on meds. Most recently, within 48hrs of putting them back on or stopping ronidazole, it’s like night and day, they go from lethargic, not eating/drinking, some...
