Maybe I can get a photo of the smaller one that my uncle commented on. He/She is much tinier than the one in this photo. They are about a month and a half.
Just about a month ago,I purchased a variety pack of baby chicks from McMurray. I had one little chick that has seemed to grow extremly slow compared to the other. I thought it was an Easter Egger, but my uncle came by today and he said "Oh, you have a little guinea" so I looked at it and one...
I had Australorps before and none of them had red. I also have had Black Jersey Giants......they also do not look like that. Hmmm......and no they are also not bantams. In fact this one is bigger than some of my others from the same order. I assumed it was a cockerel. Its feet and legs look...
These two chicks are from my McMurray mixed lot. Of course it is hard to tell exactly what all of them are, but I noticed one distinct black one that is now feathering out from its's fluff and there are some red feathers coming through with the black. My first thought was Black Copper Maran, but...
...hunched over and has mucus coming out, I assume from his nose. I don't know what to do. Do I need to give them more medicine or is there nothing I can do. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know ASAP. *They both came from the same place and have been healthy for the past month.
Actually this is the same exact way I did it last year and everyone was ok. If they are cold they will huddle, but they don't huddle. The only reason they were together in the pic is because i bumbed the playpen and they all got a fright :) They move all around and will sit under the lamp...
Ok......here you go.......Chicks in a Playpen. And the great part is when I am done, the playpen folds up and the bottoms liner is used as a case. Then I can store it away until the net time.
Well I had some chicks I bought last year, about ten of them. They were about a week old when bought them locally from the feed and seed store. I guess I just didn't remember it happening or I didn't notice it before. ButI am not worried. They are running around and seem perfectly fine. This is...
I just received my babies a few days ago. I keep them in a playpen (I got it for 5.00 at a yard sale) and I put down puppy pee pads and change them out daily. When I am done with them in the house, I just remove the floor of the playpen and take it outside and sanitize it. I have used it...
Welcome to the thread. I have just come back to raising chickens this year (I am 38) and have not had chickens since I was a kid. I am loving it, even with the ups and downs. Right now I am having to celar up a respiratory infection in a couple of my older chickens while I have 38 new babies...
Yes Fredis my BO roo and the only standard roo I have. Wilma is his matching hen who just today started the same symptoms. I brought home some Blue Cochins last week from someone who breeds chickens so I don't know if it came with them. None of them are suffering from the symptoms. Fred and...
Well I put my eggs in yesteray. I am trying to check periodically to make sure the temp is evening out. I put the incubator in my bedroom as it has the most constant temp, but even so I am noticing that as the weather temp drops outside, it affects the temp. I checked on it once and the temp had...
No lice, mites. Fred is walking around like normal eating drinking and pooping just fine. Wilma just went back up in the roost and was sitting in there. Which is fine.
...his back for 4 days, so yesterday I got the stuff and gave it to my rooster. First I want to know what this could be? Second I want to know if the suggested treatment is ok or if I should persue a different treatment. Thanks all. I hope I can get some answers today before I lost one or both...
