I’m contemplating a tattoo to memorialize my Peanut Butter who I lost back in November.
I’m a soon-to-be 44 year old women with no ink. I tend to think small, dainty, & simple is the way to go with tattooes since they change as we age. I’m thinking about an image of a feather. She was a...
I had a chick hatch with wry neck a few months ago. I syringed a couple droplets of Poultry Cell in her beak every few hours and it cleared up in a few days. I hope your baby clears up quickly, too!
This blue BYM chick, 5 weeks old, has had a large comb since he was about a week old. But it’s never really turned red, and it’s sort of stopped growing. I still think it’s a boy, but was curious to hear if anyone thinks there is a chance it’s a pullet.

Here are some more current pics (but even these photos are 2+ weeks old!)
They are all male. Every one of them. I got 3 blue, 1 black, and then there’s Pablo who I am still undecided on his color.
I hatched a few more a few weeks ago and got 1 black, 3 blue, 1 splash (pretty sure b/c it’s...
