    Help rule out Mareks please

    I purchased five chicks from a good breeder. They were one week old when I got them. They are now 6 weeks old. One of the chicks just started having trouble walking. She is dragging her one leg/foot behind her. If I pinch her toe, she yanks it so she feels the foot. She was in the brooder with...

    Cluckfan, congrats!!! They look like a pair to me also! How lucky! I posted a pic of my two little jubilee orps that are about the same age a few posts ago. I also am hoping for a pair. Seems the girls feather quicker then the boys and the boys are more white. My "boy" is getting more...

    Yellow foam coming out of pip hole! Help!

    Well last night I decided to zip the rest of the way around and found that the yoke had ruptured. It was oozing out and making a sticky mess. I got the beak out of danger of drowning and wrapped it in a wet paper towel and went to bed hoping for the best. When I got up this morining the chick...

    Here is another view of the pullet... He first shot was not great. I am apparently pretty bad at taking chicken photographs.

    I have wanted jubilee orps for three years. I finally found two locally to buy!!! I am praying each night that these end up being a pair. The darker one feathered out quicker. So by reading this thread, I am hoping that the whiter one is a boy and the darker one is a girl. Any thoughts? They are...

    How To Sex A Chicken - Wisdom From An Old Timer

    I raise blue black splash English Orpingtons and have a method which has proven to be VERY reliable. At exactly one week old, I look at their fuzzy butts. The boys have nice rounded fuzzy butts still covered in down and the girls have tail feather spouts. I throw a pink or a blue zip tie around...

    Thanks for all the great information! I have the standards for this breed. I did not think I needed the whole book... at least not yet... lol. Anyway, here are a few pics of my chickens. They are very camera shy so the pictures are not good. They always seem to have their heads down when I...

    Oh and by the way... Cull does not mean kill to me! I have only killed two chickens. One was a baby chick that hatched horribly deformed and could not walk or eat. I could not do it so my husband took scissors to his neck to put him out of his misery while I cried in the next room. The second...
