    Secret Chick

    The chick all dried out from this morning Possible fathers include the other partridge OEGB...or the Easter Egger (the angle doesn't really encapsulated the sheer fluffiness of their face that feeds my suspensions). Which might sound ridiculous to some but is indeed possible. I myself having...

    Secret Chick

    It's the time of year when the rat snakes come out to eat eggs and chicks alike. With how tiny the hen is she would likely be on the menu as well. I moved mother & chick into my predator proof poultry pen to prevent that

    Secret Chick

    Apparently she belongs to the neighbors across the street who has roosters. Judging by the size of the eggshell, it was absolutely layed by this Old English Game Bantam hen. My chickens free-range so she likely flew over the fence and decided to brood in an old bucket inside the coop

    Result of breeding two 6-toed silkies?

    Something I wanted to share that might fit this thread regarding genetics, a peculiar six-toed chick that I hatched recently. He was a silkie x mystic onyx (silkie + meatbird). The little mini toe is actually backwards on the foot—weird!

    Breed ID Needed

    I was originally told this hen was a Cinnamon Queen, but she doesn't really look like the usual CQ. She was killed by a dog while I was at work a couple of days ago, but I want to figure out what eggs might be her's since I currently have some broody hens. She loved to follow me around, such a...

    Breed ID - Adult Hen

    A coworker dropped off some hens today. A couple of elderly ladies that would have otherwise been stew in a few days. He said they were labeled as Ameraucana when he got them, one in particular is definitely not: I plan to get a better picture in the morning. She has a faint barred pattern on...

    He was. Which is why it was so shocking to discover this morning. Despite treatment and improving with flying colors—he still died.

    He is getting grit (And yes I'm aware apples should be under 10% of their total diet. He only got a single apple slice total). Luckily, he has remained alert through all of this.

    Larry's mouth is still thick with mucus and has had a little eye discharge. If he doesn't improve over the weekend I'll take him back to the vet. On another note: his new favorite food is apples. This morning he got ahold of a huge chunk that he was trying to swallow whole. Absolutely a comical...

    I don't store it in the fridge, didn't know that's what you meant. I make him a day supply of food in the morning before my 9-12 hour shift (+give him his meds and clean him up before I leave). As far as an update on his condition for this fourm: (Disregard messy breakfast face) - No nose/eye...

    I'm a tad confused? You say an egg a day is too excessive but include it in the list anyway? Mash is only good for a day at most before it needs to be thrown out and remade. Is this not the same thing? I give the eggs scrambled if the assumption is that he's being fed raw.

    All Flock is what he usually eats but he's been on 30% gamebird starter the last 7 days due to the being sick/rapid weight loss thing. He'll eat half a cup of damp mash. I'm going to see if he is able to eat dry food again this morning. Edit: he cannot. His face isn't really leaking anymore...

    Do think one (1) egg every day is too much?
