    Determining Chick Sex

    I was wondering if you could determine the sex of a chick early on by feeling the legs where a roosters spurs would develop. I would assume young pullets would be smooth and young Roos would have the tiniest of nubs. Idk, just a thought if anyone had tried this and successfully determined the...

    Dog bite injury

    I need some help. The neighbors dog attacked one of my young pullets. I want to try and save her if at all possible but I’m not sure about wound care. I cleaned and washed out her back with warm water to get debris out, then flushed with iodine solution. I’m not sure what to put on it now or if...

    She took them out. Her mothering skills are slightly concerning but hopefully she’ll get better.

    Is wing shape a good way to determine the sex of a chick?

    I have 12 new baby chicks 4 have the wrong shape of picture one and 8 have the wrong shape in picture two. I was told and from what I read on the internet picture one, the tan wing is a male and picture two the darker chick is a female. Is this setting method fairly accurate?

    Foot Injury

    It’s possible she got a touch of frostbite in December, but I really don’t think so. I thought her right foot looked swollen and I’ve been looking after it since late December.
