She moves around now and she's not holding her wings so low now. Keel bone very pronounced and dont feel crop. Poop is water with undigested food. She did have lice so we used pyrethin on her. Hasn't ever been wormed. Started her on Sulmet yesterday.
Hen was very sleepy. Brought her inside. She was very thirsty. Moving around now and eating but it's like the water she drinks goes right through her. Have also seen clear mucus come out of her mouth. I tried feeling her crop for impaction or sour croup but all I feel is the bone that sticks out...
I just replaced my bucket nests with those and my hens love them. I have some Sinatra Arial sized hens too. When our first hens started laying I did put some ceramic eggs in the next boxes. Seemed to have worked. The darn things were so realistic we collected them a few times and once I gave...
Ok. The other chicks we've had that were roosters (including dad) were trying to crow at a young age and had red combs sooner. Not sure about this one but I keep looking at it thinking maybe rooster. The size and tail...
My son said he saw her in the nesting box so I think she's laying now but not sure. I think she's bigger than all our other hens. She just hatched this summer.:/
Here are some pictures of our EE x Cochin chick grown up. She's big and looks kind of like a rooster but I've never heard her crow. She wagged her tail like a hen when I was taking pictures. She used to be all blue like mom but now she is getting more and more yellow showing.
Yes he is blue. Unfortunately his colors don't show well in the photo. He doesn't have muffs but was supposed to be an Ameracauna. His legs are slate. He looks close to a blue wheaten but not perfect. Without the muffs I started wondering if he was grabbed out I f thewrong bin. I bought him from...
Thank you. He is very pretty and was good with the chicks. Thank you for your imput. I wasn't sure and I couldn't use the color of eggs he layed as evidence. ; )
Any opinions on what my our rooster is. The grey/white areas by his neck & side are actually a lemon color. He was sold to us as an Americauna and a "she". Then I read about most Americaunas are EEs unless they breed true so I figured he's an EE. Thus he got the name Easter. But now I'm...

Any guesses on what my rooster is? Where it looks grey/white on his neck and side is actually a lemon yellow color. When I bought him, he was supposed to be an Americauna and a "she". I read that what is sold is not true Ameraucanas but rather EEs so I assumed he was that and how his name became...
