    Buff Brahma- Pullet or Cockerel?

    Looks like you have a fine female Brahma there. Definitely doesn't show any cockerel signs quite yet, even if it was a late bloomer.

    Help me figure the sex out 😩

    It's too early to really know, and often times, certain breeds look masculine even when proven female. A safe bet would be to keep them and call them female until proven otherwise by either: a) Crowing multiple times (Although, one time my easter egger FEMALE tried to crow once) b) Mating...

    Fertile or not?

    Definitely fertile, if the egg has the white bullseye, its fertile! :D

    Unsure on breed AND gender?!

    looks like an easter egger/tophat breed mix and a safe bet would be to keep it andd call it female untill a proven male by either crowing or mating

    For animals that have passed should still be loved👍🏽🥺

    I don't have any photos, but my duck Daffnie had a concussion and gradually got so bad she died. She used to follow me everywhere and when she got so bad, she lived in the house, we roomed together. I'll forever miss the bond we had. <3

    Lethargic chicken, off food, pale face & comb

    Pretty sure it is just the lice problem. I wouldn't put her back till she perks up because lice will reinfect the other birds. The lice may be dead, but still have had effect on her, or the lice had too many spots in large numbers around and didn't all die. Also, the coop may have been infected.

    Mint Flavored Eggs?

    My flock has never shown interest in mint. They might like the bit of green, and they might try it, but I can guarantee you that they won't eat enough of it to make their eggs taste minty.

    Lethargic chicken, off food, pale face & comb

    I see that the lice are pretty bad, if you can't get access to DE you might need to cut the lice off. The chicken won't have pretty feathers until they grow back in, but it will get rid of the problem. (Might also want to check for lice around vent and neck.)

    Nutri-Drench is a nutrient-rich supplement formulated to rapidly deliver energy and essential nutrients. it will make your chicken perk up. It has a ton of protein in it and tons of vitamins. It's in liquid form. Some people mix it in the water, but I have learned that a dropper full in the...

    My duck drank some bleach water!? What is going to happen and what can i do?!!!

    Looks to me like the feather loss is more of an attack than caused by bleach due to the fact that the roots of the feathers are still attached. (I had the same problem with my ducks!!!! We use bleach constantly and they got into it once or twice.) All I can say is to make sure he has constant...

    Lethargic chicken, off food, pale face & comb

    I had the same issue with my chicken and figured that if they have lice for a while (and noting how this hen is smaller than the others) The lice could have been taking nutrients and energy from the animal and harmed it. Best thing to do would be to give it nutridrench daily, and maybe rub it...

    Lavender Orpington Roo?

    Lavendar Orpingtons tend to look masculine even when they're a proven female. A safe bet would be to keep it and say it is a female until proven a rooster by either crowing or mating multiple chickens. (Multiple would mean mating, only one would mean dominance.)
