    Hard to tell. Could be OEG (Old English Game), but you're holding it. Can't give a definite answer without seeing the entire chicken.

    What do you do with your eggs when you collect them?

    When I collect my eggs, I do wash them and fridge only a dozen for this house. The rest, I cook for my pups and 3 yr old dog. If I have a bird in need to gain more nourishment than the others, I give some cooked eggs to eat. The shells, I wash, allow to dry, crushed, and use 3 ways. My...

    Poop stuck to week old chick’s vent!

    Ripping it off like a bandaid is not cool. It hurts the chick and possibly pull this thing feathers out. You did good with warm water and gently remove the poop. Pasty butt is not good for chicks. Not treated right away,, like you did, and go unnoticed cause backup and they can die. So, a...

    Well, after looking at all. The chick is actually one of the newly hatched. The I retrieved is older. Based on the wings feathering out. Baby chick is still alive. Not eating or drinking. I placed a mirror in the brooder under heat lamp. It's isolated so others don't pick at it. The breed...

    I have a pen with Roo and 3 hens. 2 chicks hatched close to a week now. Today, looked onto them and saw the rooser, Andre, attacking the chicks. When I got there, 1 dead, 1 still chirping but barely. Not even moving. So, as I was getting the dead one, both hens started to attack me. I...

    Chicks dropping like flies

    I do have electrolyte water, and been giving it to them. As a measure. I don't know the watt of the heat lamp. Used the recommended for the Brooder heat lamp. I can determine it was a temp. Issue. Since corrected. The only chicks I found dead was 3 but they were hatched from mama and...

    Chicks dropping like flies

    Yes. I do use shavings from TSC. I'll remove them and replace with paper towels. I always keep an eye out on pasty butted chicks and clean them up. So no losses once and before it starts. As for the light bulbs, I use Brooder lamps and bulbs. Should I replace the bulbs with reg light...
