Hi All
I recently bought a creamy legbar pullet (2-3 month old) that unfortunately the seller did not take care of very well as it was missing tail feathers, had a bit of a prolapsed vent, and vent gleet when I received her. I’ve been treating the chicken with ACV water, probiotics and yogurt...
Hello
I just bought what was advertised on Craigslist as a cuckoo marans pullet. After doing some research, I think the particular chicken I bought might be a cuckoo marans mix. From pics I have researched online, I don’t think a pure cuckoo marans pullet would have the puffy feathers on its...
Hello
This stray chicken made its way into our neighborhood and we’ve adopted it as no owner claimed it. I’m thinking it’s a game fowl pullet, but wanted another opinion. No eggs or crowing and it does look on the younger side.
Here is an updated pic. The white one got more brown as it matured. Still beautiful coloring but looks different from when it began getting its plumage.
I’ve been watching the buff one for a while now for any signs of being a cockerel. So far behavior is pullet-like and I haven’t seen any saddle feathers at 13 weeks. The comb was a little suspect at first but someone mentioned it is probably a modified pea comb. Crossing my fingers that the...
Cool. Thanks for the information. I had never heard of the White Yokohama, but I see what you are talking about with the coloring. Here they are now at 13 weeks.
Updated pictures at 8 weeks as of today. I think they still both look like pullets as most have commented but have noticed some red leakage on the lighter ones wings. Can you have pullets with that kind of red leakage?
Hello,
The 2 chicks I hatched a couple months ago, I believe were the same cross of buff orpington/easter egger. I'm wondering if you still have these chickens and pictures of what they look like as adults?
I’ve asked the neighbor who sold me the eggs about what breeds of chickens she has. She told me that she’ll ask her husband and get back to me. The buff one for sure is more difficult to identify gender.
Hello
My broody hen hatched 2 mystery chicks 7 weeks ago and having trouble identifying gender and breed. Any ideas on breed and gender would be helpful. Not sure if these chicks have pea or straight combs, as they look like something in between. Thanks in advance for your responses.
No animals showed up on the camera despite droppings reappearing. The conclusion I came to after looking around under my trash cans is that I believe it was earthworms coming out at night and leaving worm poop (or black gold). I took one out and left it in a little soil to test my theory and...
I’ve been trying to break the silkie from the bloodiness by taking out the eggs right away, closing the coop, keeping her in a separate cage with a cold pack underneath. I don’t want to take the nest boxes away as I want to have them available for the other hens to lay.
As someone had...
