    Foreign object?

    One more thing I just remembered... she recently lost her beard & muffs, but I thought it was due to molting. Could that have anything to do with what's wrong now?

    Foreign object?

    Thanks so much for responding, Sammi. I'm really inexperienced with sick chickens, so I appreciate your help in figuring out what's wrong. can you use a flashlight and look in her throat? feel the neck for any lump... her throat looks clear to me, no lumps. could she have got into any...

    Foreign object?

    I have a 3 yr old EE hen who was found sitting/lying on the floor in the coop. (We've since moved her to the sick ward.) Her crop feels empty but I'm afraid she may have something stuck in her throat. She's alert, clear eyes & nose, no respiratory difficulties. Vent looks fine, other than...

    Help! Chicken running in circles

    I have an 8 wk old Polish, not sure if it's a pullet or a roo (leaning toward roo) who is running in circles and making a screeching/chirping noise. He runs faster and faster in smaller circles, and finally sits down. The others peck at him a little bit. Then, he gets up and paces for a...

    Chick with cross beak *pics*

    I purchased my chicks from a local retailer (who says her supplier is in TX, btw.) We have one 9 wk old Mille Fleur with a severe cross beak - no amount of trimming or filing will help at this point, I'm afraid. He's incredibly sweet, and none of the others pick on him (yet,) so we're just...

    Packing Peanuts- What are they?

    They look like my two New Hampshire reds, a light red color with white or yellow on the wing & breast. Feathersite has a good chick photo.

    Attn All New Members ... Look Here Now!!!!!

    Quote: That's a great idea. I've spent literally hours using the search function, and sometimes it's terribly difficult to find what I'm looking for when I'm sifting through pages and pages of search results! The FAQ is an excellent resource, I've learned so much from this website.

    Bantam Cochins, 7 weeks - what are we??

    Pretty birds, Marie. I love the frizzle. I don't see any difference in the hackles or saddle feathers on my birds yet. I don't have much experience with the single comb, and no experience at all with banties, so I wasn't sure what age they become red. Based on their behavior, I really...

    Can I keep my roos?

    I have a mixed flock of about 20 chicks, 8 weeks old. It's looking like 6-8 of them are boys. I would enjoy having one roo, but I have had negative experiences with mean roos in the past. These boys are polish, silkies, and cochins. Are any of those breeds nicer, more docile than the...

    Bantam Cochins, 7 weeks - what are we??

    The majority of my "straight run" banty cochins are roosters, I think. No "boy" saddle feathers yet, but those combs are pretty red. (Sorry about poor picture quality.) What do you think? #1 #2 #3 #4 #5

    How Did You Discover BYC?

    I was Googling chicken breeds, trying to decide which ones to add to my flock. I lurked for a long time until I finally registered. This site is amazing! I've learned so much.

    Oh my, they are adorable! Great photos. I'm waiting for my own standard Cochins to come it. Now I'm really anxious!

    What Made You Get Your Chickens?

    We had a small flock when I was a child, and I remember really enjoying them. I'm a bird lover in general, I guess. We finally have enough room (and live far enough away from neighbors) to have chickens of our own, and now I'm hooked!

    New chick mommy in waiting!

    We've had 4 EEs for the last two years, but we got them when they were a few months old, so this is our first time with babies. We purchased several day-olds from our local feed store 7-8 weeks ago, and we've been having SO much fun! I brought home two more Polish last week just because they...
