    Please, need help with young chicken!!

    I have a barred rock chicken and all of her "sisters" have recently started laying. There are 8 hens all together and she is the only one not laying. Recently I noticed she is not eating and will drink quite a bit. We do live in Florida and keep electrolytes and a water source readily available...

    Want some information for future practice

    My vet actually did it for free I think more for his own piece of mind and mine. UPDATE: Apparently my rooster had a severe case of pneumonia and bad infections in all of his air sacs we are unsure where he picked this up. He said even with the antibiotics and everything we did to help him he...

    Want some information for future practice

    This is our first loss. We have only had chickens for 3 years and the original 6 we started with are doing well. I actually called my avian vet and he asked if he could do a necropsy because he wants to make sure it is not something contagious. So I took him over there and am waiting on results...

    Want some information for future practice

    My rooster not even one year old died last night, which was devastating to my husband and me. He originally started out with sneezing, shaking his head, and sounding congested. After a couple of days he has issues even crowing. We took him to the vet who stated it was most likely a respiratory...

    Peculiar Behavior

    The flock has been together for about 8 months now. Most of our chicks other than 1 (who we have had for 2 years) were vaccinated because we ordered them through a company. They are all now grown and laying. We do have a vet, but nothing physically seems wrong with her. However, I just was told...

    Peculiar Behavior

    We have 12 hens and a rooster where 7 were raised together and then introduced to our original flock of 6. They pretty much have gotten along well, until recently. All of a sudden we noticed not even a week ago that one of our hens (who has never posed any problems or caused any problems) has...

    Need Help

    We just received a letter about our chickens/ducks and I do not know what to do or where to turn. We literally bought them all from someone in Port Charlotte. We have had them for almost a year and they have become part of our family. We just moved to a new area and received a complaint, but it...

    What kind of chickens and gender are these? Please Help!

    For all who were wondering about these two lovely chickens they BOTH ended up being Roosters, which we had to get rid of. Fortunately, they both went to great homes where one gets to roam around on farmland and the other has many "spanish ladies" (as the new owner says) to mate with lol

    Raising ducks to be friendly- how to?

    I actually have a question myself. I recently purchased 2 female buff ducks who are already 10 weeks old. We were unable to get 2 of this breed ducklings elsewhere around us because they were selling them only by increments between 4 or 6. Plus, we knew one by itself would most likely not do...

    Pullets or cockerels???

    Hey everyone, I really need some help distinguishing if my chickens are pullets or cockerels? We are not allowed to have roosters where I live so I need to figure out what sex they might be. I was told the Brahma was a hen and I believe the Cochin is now a male considering he/she started crowing...

    Yeah, sorry I should have said pullets, which is what I meant we have chicks too so I guess I'm just use to saying "older". Here are some other pictures of the feathers:
