Sadly after almost three weeks i had to euthanize the poor girl. She has stopped eating and would no longer let us give her water by syringe.
thank you everyone for your help in trying to get her to recover.
She seems to be okay for now. I went and checked on her and her leg was splayed out......Sadly it is freezing right now and there is no sun for her to bathe in as it is winter. I go in and check on her as she is in our mud room and we let her sit on our lap and she seems to be okay.
i have a girl that has been in quarantine for over a week now. We found her struggling to stand a week ago last Sunday and immediately isoalted her. No other issues in the flock.
She cannot stand and tends to scoot on her side and keeps her head turned to the right. We have been giving her...
Cockerel.
Too much black in the wings for it to be a hen at that age. Trust me i know from experience. All mine that had that coloring at that age turned out to be males.
It could have potentially happened but who know. It was a 3 for 3 trade and I got two egg laying Sicilian Buttercups as well. They are awesome chicks and fit in very well. I traded a roo Welsummer, a roo blue motted americuana, and a female salmon favorelle.
Here is a pic of the buttercup

At one point this summer i had to get rid of 9 roosters, i had a total of 11 a month ago, as i...
I just went down to our mud room where she is and looked at her saddle feathers under her wings and i am not seeing any pointy feathers at all, they are all round tipped. Her comb is more ping than red, i think the flash deepened the pink. Its darker now than it was in the picture with my...
Well i was told she was 14 weeks when we got her but she is pretty small so i suspected she may be younger. So its possible she is more like 18 weeks now. Here is a picture of her tail area and her eyes. Her eyes look yellow to me.
I got this "girl" a couple weeks ago in a trade for a roo I needed to rehome. I was told she is a she, but after this spring finding out that so many i thought were pullets turned out to be roos i want to make sure. She is the only speckled sussex i have and she is about 12 to 16 weeks at this...
