    Indio Gigante?

    Interesting I appreciate the replies!! I'm unfamiliar with this type entirely. I'll read up on Malay characters/ mostly interested in what to expect from personality and possibility of free ranging around guineas (no problem to give them seperate time). I also have a bantam crew so it's fun to...

    Indio Gigante?

    I got this pair from a duck rescue, I just needed a new rooster and liked how big he was not knowing much about the breed. She said they were Indio Gigante. I have no reason to doubt but I wonder how their standard to breed type are? The were dumped in a baseball field as chicks which is so...

    Early serama guess

    My first serama! They are supposedly 3 weeks old tomorrow. One has a more upright stance but both have tiny combs still. We'll see. Likely too early to tell but I'll post them now and update later on

    Guinea Guys?

    I've had a small flock for a year now (numbers fluctuating between 4-6 depending). The males and females tend to pair up, but if there is an extra female or two that would be best. They do form trios sometimes. The males who were raised together don't shed blood but they do a lot of goofy...

    Olive Egger Chicks - gender?

    Haha actually like a dark brown from the one pullet. And she passed away at 8 months from an enlarged liver (my state offers free necropsies)

    Watch my chicks grow!

    1 Week Old These little babies are growing fast! They are getting a lot more active and spending more time out from under their heat plate. Super Blue (1) - This is a jumpy little one! The beard forming is so cute. Ancona (1) - Still a bit smaller than the rest. Wing feathers are coming in...

    Watch my chicks grow!

    Yes, I have a much larger 40 square foot pen built that they'll move into when needed. I need to shuffle a few things around in the garage first so that it fits where I want it.

    Thanks! The pics were taken with my phone with good lighting, a Samsung Galaxy S8. The one overhead shot into the box is my Canon Powershot G7 X point & shoot camera.

    Watch my chicks grow!

    Baby pics! I think hatch day was Feb. 18th MPC Super Blue (1) - Do I see a beard? First impression is that this one is a little more avoidant of the big scary hand. Ancona (1) - Very petite! This one is a little jumpy. Suspiciously erect stance. Olive Eggers (2) - The OE standing on the...

    Watch my chicks grow!

    ...weekly updates last time I raised chicks two years ago, so I'm back to do it again! I just received 10 sexed chicks from My Pet Chicken. They *should* all be female. I moved this summer to a lot on 2 acres zoned agricultural. We have no restrictions here, so I could keep a rooster if someone...

    Gurggling noises when breathing

    One of my girls started sounding gurgley about two weeks ago. I actually took her the vet because she had other things going on (lice & worms) and I'm not experienced with chicken illness. Vet said it was respiratory and not her crop. He put her on a liquid oral antibiotic called SMZTMP...

    Lice? (Picture)

    Sorry to hijack the thread with my own question, but I just found lice on a new chicken I have in isolation. I like this easy premix version! The Tractor Supply site says this Martin's spray is approved for use on poultry. Have you used it successfully? I am extremely hesitant to use permethrin...

    Weekly Chick Growth - Marans, Olive Eggers, Cream Legbar, Buff Orphington, Wyandotte

    7 Months The new white chicken is doing well. Her name is Tilda. I'm 90% sure it's a hen. I looked through her feathers the best I could when I found her and didn't find anything weird. No wounds. She just stank, and still kind of does! Her feathers are still a bit dirty too. She's pretty bad...
