I lost my beloved rooster Penguin two weeks ago to an aggressive upper respiratory infection. He was 6 years old. I’ve come to this site for help so many times regarding him, he’s had upper respiratory infections in the past. He was such a good boy, the best boy. He didn’t have a mean bone in...
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. Other then his clogged nostril, he’s eating, drinking, and going about life as if nothing is going on. On Facebook...
BYC isn't letting me post pictures in my post (I'm on iPhone so it's acting strange). I'll post the two pictures in the comments (hopefully)

Chicky 1: Rooster or hen?
Chicky 2: Rooster of hen?
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.
So I've contacted the general manager of the Delaware State Fair (also called the Harrington Fair) about concerns for entering my pet rooster (ie he is a pet first and a show bird second, taking him home at night when the fair is closed and bringing him back in the morning, etc) Penguin. He is a...
So I work at Tractor Supply and I have been taking home the chicks with bum legs. The first one I took home was a Cornish rock pullet that ended up passing away. The second one I took home is a Rhode Island Red pullet. Her hocks (or her elbows or knees which ever you call them) are calloused...
I got two silkie baby's from my work about three weeks ago (They are three to four weeks old is my guess)
this is the bigger one
this is the smaller one
I call the bigger one Fluff and the smaller one Cotton. Just as I typed that Fluff charged my Golden Sebright Bantam hen Pharoah
I'm...
...THEY ALL} I gave them strict chicken feed with the Feather Fixer mixed in {With the Oxycycline mixed in too} and of course they looked at me like "***? Where are the sunflower seeds? Where are the meal worms? Where is the birdseed? Where is the cracked corn?! YOU MONSTER!"
Anyway, I will...
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...
My grandmother brought us 8 bantam chicks. Sadly the two yellow grey ones in the picture passed away this morning. They were very small and I was worried about that. This morning other than those two there was one other one acting sluggish (one with a stripe) the others were standing in the food...
My rooster Penguin (Barred Plymouth Rock Bantam x Old English Silver Duckwing Bantam) is beautiful with a unique personality to match. He was recently sick with upper respiratory but I treated him with Oxytetracycline, Tylan 50, and VetRX and he is doing better and is almost 100% back to normal...
My rooster Penguin was treated for an upper respiratory about a week ago with injectable Tylan 50 one shot for three days. He was bad, breathing deep and breathing with his mouth open and sneezing/coughing. After the first dose of Tylan 50 he was better crowing and breathing a lot better. He is...
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...
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. I tried to stick him twice and the first time I got in the skin and he squaked at me and wiggled out of my grip. I...
This might count as a double thread I'm so sorry if it does but Im going to need an answer to my questions before I will attempt to get the injection of it to my mini bantam Penguin. He is on Oxytetracycline powder in his water but I want to give him something that will make him feel better...
My pet rooster Penguin has been "sneezing" and puffing out his chest breathing really hard, I took a video of this and showed it to my local feed store and the guy said it's something upper respiratory and I believe him because that is what is seems to be. He gave me an antibiotic called...
My rooster, his hen, and their two babies are all making what I thought was sneezing but I looked up coughing and now I believe it's coughing. They are doing it a lot and it's fairly cold here. The one baby has a runny nose but that's the only one I actually see with a runny nose. Is this deadly...
...want to take him). I want to get to know the person by texting them, just so I know if I feel I can trust them to give my chicken a good and loving home. If anybody is interested comment or private message me.
*BYC won't let me attach pictures but I might be able to send it over private message
