    11 wk polish gender?

    I would love some opinions on the gender of my golden laced polish, Amelia. If it is too early to tell, when is it usually obvious besides eggs and crowing? I had been told she is a girl but the way some of her feathers are growing I'm beginning to wonder. A couple of the pics her "hair" is in a...

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    Thanks, I don't think stress or drafts are an issue. The brooder was moved to our large garage/shop because I was concerned the ac was the reason for it staying under the heat plate more. We open a couple of the doors in the garage to get good air flow and not be too stuffy (no wind or drafts...

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    I've been hoping it is just smaller but would hate to just assume and do nothing so wanted other's opinions. The food and water is pretty close to the heat plate. We have a regular feeder then also put mash on a little white lid and a paper towel to make it as easy as possible to get to food...

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    That is what I would think but with no other signs of illness, I have no idea what to do for it.

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    I'm new to this so just not sure what eating normal looks like. The 1 that I am most concerned about isn't acting lethargic like the one that died but is not at the food or water dishes nearly as often or as long as some of the others but does eat. Of course with not eating as much, they won't...

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    Yes, I weigh them daily. I was weighing in ounces at first then switched to grams. I have one chick that weighs the same 22g that it did 7 days ago, one that has gained a couple grams, and the other is close to a gram a day

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    It was green with some red in it. Don't know if it was blood or normal intestinal shedding? I've looked at tons of poop photos but hard to tell the difference for me. I thought I had a photo but not finding it.

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    Everything I was reading said corid won't hurt and to use it if in doubt and early treatment is essential. Since the one chick especially hasn't grown or gained in over a week and had the abnormal poop, I was wanting to try something. The abnormal poop had red in it. Not sure if blood or...

    Baby bantam cochins are losing or not gaining weight

    So I posted about this in the raising chick section but realized that this is probably a better place for this. So I have 4 cochin chicks (3 bantam, 1 standard) that are 11 days old and the bantams are not really gaining weight. They seem ok and healthy otherwise. They have a heat plate in the...

    Baby Bantam cochins not gaining weight, normal?

    So I have 4 cochin chicks (3 bantam, 1 standard) that are 11 days old and the bantams are not really gaining weight. They seem ok and healthy otherwise. They have a heat plate in the brooder and don't show signs of being too hot or cold, they all eat and drink, though not nearly as often as the...

    10 week chickens losing feathers, normal?

    I have 11 chicks that range from 8-12 weeks (most are 10wks) that have started losing feathers. I spend a lot of time with them and have never seen them feather plucking and none have bare spots but there are quite a few feathers on the floor of coop and run. I know which birds some of the...

    2 wk old Chick respiratory issue?, do I separate her?

    I only got 2 chicks from that lady. The other one from her is a week older and was in a brooder out in a shed so no one was hatched with her and have only been exposed to her for the last 2 days. I have larger pine shavings covered with paper towels so I can more easily moniter their poops. The...

    2 wk old Chick respiratory issue?, do I separate her?

    I have a chick that is almost 2 weeks old. I got her yesterday and soon after noticed her open mouth heavy breathing. Seems to keep her awake at night. When I hold her close, I can hear a rattling sound. Im assuming this is something respiratory. When I picked her up from seller, the brooder was...

    Will my EE stay this color?

    We just love the coloring of one of our Easter Eggers. Evelynn is 8 weeks. Will her color stay similar to this or will it change as she gets older? She is so beautiful. Also, is there a way to tell what breeds she likely has in her?

    Pair of Black tailed white Japanese gender?

    The store said they use Estes Hatchery in MO. Here is the list of bantams they have on their website. However, my other bantam I got was a splash cochin but that isn't on the list either so idk.
