Hi guys, I've been breeding and selling chooks for 3 years now.
On Saturday a couple came and picked up 2 - 5 month old Silkies from me, today (Wednesday) they have sent me a message saying 1 has died.
I have not had a death here in about 6 months or have a had someone tell me this happened...
Hi, I am currently away on holidays and my pet sitter has just messaged me a photo of a baby Silkie who looks as though she has a skin tag on her bottom eyelid.
We are assuming she has been pecked by another. She kept scratching her eye with her foot so pet sitter gave her a bath so she has...
There is a boy I kept from this hatch and his neck feathers are much more pointed. This one has rounded feathers but has thick legs and is much larger than the others I know are definite girls. I've never been sure about this one
hey, first time hatching Brahma chicks, this one is 18 weeks old. I originally thought it was a boy but now I'm not certain. Could someone who is better at sexing help me out? Thanks
Sorry just saw you both had replied! For reference here are the two I think are pullets. All photos taken on the same day. Their combs and wattles are still very pale and they feathered faster than the other 2.
Hey, first time raising these breeds and would like a second opinion before they go off to Mr Rooster man.
All 8 weeks old,
Buff Orpington
Silver Laced Barnevelder
Lavender Sussex
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply, I have seperate the 3 that have the lesion, today the first chicks lesion has fallen off today and it's bleeding. Does this mean it's clearing up? Getting worse? She is on her own now incase the others peck at her
Thank you!
Hey guys, last week I noticed a small growth on the side of one of my chicks beaks. Today I've noticed that it has popped up on another 2.
The original chicks growth has grown quite large now. (Pictured)
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!
Apart from the watery balloon like crop, they seem fine. Not sure why 3 have come down with it at once.
I haven't changed their feed, they are fed Laucke Mills Pullet grower
Hi guys, I've just found 3 of my 20 week old pullets with what seems like Sour Crop, I have withheld food. I read somewhere that a crop should have a ph of 5.5, I own a Kangen Water Machine. I'm wondering if I used a Ph of 5.5 for their drinking water would this help?
Hey, I have a 20 week old Pullet with a runny nose, her eyes are fine and she doesn't appear to be sneezing, just a discharge from her nose.
I've read some horror stories that if it's a respiratory disease I should cull to stop the spread, I'm wondering if there's a chance this is something...
Hey everyone, I have some 4 week old silkies, parents are a blue roo over splash hens.
Out of the 8 chicks from this hatch I have 2 that are solid white, a few of their siblings have already gotten their splash colouring. I'm just wondering if it's possible that these two will stay white, or...
