I Live near Sapulpa / Tulsa Oklahoma. Does anyone know of a Vet that sees Poultry in my area?
I put a hen down last week that couldn't walk and another is sick now, very thin, pail, when she drinks she dips her beak but doesn't tip her head back to take the water down and it just runs back out...

This rooster had been in a smaller pen that didn't get lots of direct sunlight. So when I integrated him into my main chicken yard I wasn't overly concerned about his pale comb face and waddles, But its been probably 3 months since I moved him and his paleness hasn't improved. He is about 18...
Definately a mutt. Nothing wrong with a mutt you know Hybred Vigor and all. As far as the sex goes and I had to guess I would go with rooster too, but you can never tell. She may just be confident in her femiminity.
I would just be patient and enjoy them. Time will tell which are hens and which are roosters. You might want to put down some pine shavings or something on top of the newspaper to prevent the slickness of the newsprint from giving them spayed or spraddled legs. Its a condition they sometimes get...
If you have lots of problem cats the answer may be to reinforce your pen, chances are if you eliminate one problem another feral cat would take its place. I have a pen covered on all sides (Including the top) with 1" chicken wire, plus a small electric fence charger (the small ones sized for...
Forgive my ignorance but, since I have never seen anything but a rose comb on a Dominique, would I be correct to assume since I got my Dominiques from a hatchery that they should have two genes for rose comb?
I agree, Rooster was Wayne's best character ever...
I am planning on breeding a sex link next spring. I want a sex link that is a good egg layer, economical feed bill. Im thinking a Brown Leghorn Rooster over some Dominique hens. My question is: What will their combs be like? I live in Northeastern Oklahoma where the Leghorns can get a frostbit...
Seeking Opinions: I bought some "Cream Legbar" eggs off of eBay 1/2 doz. Not a great experience overall. One egg was broken, One had a crack, All were dirty. Anyway I sat the remaining eggs in my incubator and this is what hatched. I've have never had any Cream Legbars but the light colored one...
If you buy one dont trust the thermometer or hygometer. I bought a new farm innovations forced air incubator using a good thermometer temp 98.5 to 100.5 degf on average and 50% RH by the little hygrometer that came with the incubator but I never checked it's accuracy (Rookie Mistake I Know). On...

I live in NE Oklahoma folks and we have some cold winters from time to time, sub-zero (Heck in the negative teens occasionally) and up to 115deg F some summers for weeks on end. I'm just wondering what kind of winter and summer extremes these little birds can tolerate? What could I do to help...
