    The Sweetest Hello and the Hardest Goodbye

    I lost my beloved rooster Penguin two weeks ago to an aggressive upper respiratory infection. He was 6 years old.

    Rooster with clogged nostril?

    My 5 year old Bantam Rooster, Penguin, developed a clogged nostril while I was away for a week. I have no idea how this happened or what it is. I’ve never had this problem before.

    Golden Sebright

    So instead of entering my mix bred rooster, Penguin, I'll be entering his hen Pharaoh. Her "show name" is "Walk Among Pharaohs". She was born May 2nd, 2015 and has had no chicks as of now (3/22/2016). She is a beautiful laced golden with a pretty pleasant attitude for the breed.

    Normal 4 Day Old Chick Behavior?

    I recently was given 8 chicks bought from a feed store. All are bantams but three passed away. Two were extremely small and looked to be pulled from the incubator a tad early. I also forgot that you can't put foreign chicks around other full grown chickens which I stupidly did but I'm not taking...

    I had given my rooster a shot yesterday of Tylan 50 with a 20 gauge needle which was a little big (I did it tonight with a smaller 22 gauge needle) and now it is looking like it scabbed over. It isn't black but more of a dark red so I'm hoping it is necrosis. Is scabbing normal especially with a...

    Possible Emergency About Injection Site Necrosis- PICTURE AT THE BOTTOM

    I'm very paranoid I'm sorry! I just gave my Rooster his first Tylan 50 shot and the needle was a 20 gauge because they didn't have a 22 gauge and they said it would work for him.
