    Chicken panting and limping started this morning

    Really? She has never been a daily layer, none of my birds have been, but she has been my most consistent. I think the fairy egg was due to the tums I gave her than anything. Her last egg was normal size and a pleasant light brown with no blemishes. I don't think her reproductive system is the...

    Chicken panting and limping started this morning

    Nope, she paid me a fairy egg last night with a soft shell. She is still panting and acting like her leg is very hurt. I felt her abdomen again and it feels the same. However I do feel something a little pokey under her skin between her thigh and abdomen, near her ribs. No pain response from her...

    Chicken panting and limping started this morning

    Not much has changed, she drank water eventually. She started to get anxious and was panting really heavily so I gave her a cool Epsom salt bath. She is pooping like normal. She knocked over her water (I don't even know how) so I put her outside for a bit in the run. She limped into the coop to...

    Chicken panting and limping started this morning

    I found her on the ground outside this morning acting very unlike herself. She was fine yesterday, laid an egg the day before. I'm at a loss, no visible signs of injury, doesn't seem to have any abnormal swelling in her abdomen. she won't put weight in her left foot, the panting seems to be...

    Is my pullet an Amerecuana or an Easter Egger?

    Thanks for the confirmation! It's what I thought she would be despite the signage at the shop. I love her regardless of her heritage!

    Is my pullet an Amerecuana or an Easter Egger?

    Thank you, interesting about Ameras being Easters but not the reverse. I'll need to look up more about what differentiates them. She is hilarious though, she has a super long neck and noodles it about when she is running like an ostrich/emu. It's adorable.

    Is my pullet an Amerecuana or an Easter Egger?

    Sweet Pea here is about 7 weeks old and was listed as an Ameraucana at Wilco. I know feed store Ameraucana's are typically Easter Eggers. I think the coloring looks like wheaton, but I am not sure. She has grayish colored legs. Don't mind Cocoa, the curious Chocolate Orpington next to her, she...

    5 week old "Blue laced red wyandottes" what gender?

    Oh she is so pretty! The difference in color from chick to hen is so dramatic!

    5 week old "Blue laced red wyandottes" what gender?

    Mainly because that is what they were labeled as at the store, but I have no way of verifying it until they grow into their colors. I know blue lacing can be so dark it's almost black, and so light it's almost white, and that sometimes black lace can be passed off as blue lace. I just didn't...

    5 week old "Blue laced red wyandottes" what gender?

    Yah, and she was the one I was leaning more towards pullet based on her demeanor/stature. I've never kept Wyandottes before so I'm just shooting in the dark.

    5 week old "Blue laced red wyandottes" what gender?

    Got these two at Wilco as chicks (sexed as pullets). The first one, Abigail, is BIG into digging/scratching, but pretty timid socially. She is starting to get waddles that are a little red, but no pink on her beak/comb. The other is Sunny, much more of a precocious and social bird, but also...
