Last night around sun set a raccoon attacked one of my girls. Luckily I heard her screaming and got out there as soon as I could. She has no wounds but I believe she has a broken neck. Her head was listing all the way to the side and she was having trouble walking. So I tried to stabilize her...
I don’t have a photo unfortunately but I believe my hen has canker. She has a yellowish cheesy looking plaque all over the inside of her mouth. I happen to have Seachem Metroplex for my fish. Can I use that? From what I read a lot of people use API General cure. If I can give it to her how much...
I ordered 2 black copper maran chicks from My Pet Chicken 5 weeks ago. However I noticed they are starting to grow crests?! I’m so confused. They do have light feathering on their legs. I also have 2 other 6 week old ones that I got from elsewhere. No crests and considerably more feathers on...

I ordered these as females from my pet chicken. The last batch I got was sexed bantams and olive eggers and all turned out to be girls so I decided to try again and I’m so glad they turned out to be all girls also. This is my new favorite hatchery lol
I know I’m so unsure that’s why im doing the dna sexing. I saw other photos of chicks at 4 weeks and the combs were 2x as big and red as this one. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed.
