    There are air bubbles covering the wound. What causes that and should I do anything about it?

    New chick mom - poop problems!

    I wouldn't worry about the poop. Here's a good chart to help decide what's normal or not. http://pluckandfeather.com/chicken-poo-chart-graphic.html Yes, chickens only have the one hole called the vent, but some babies have a "bellybutton" for the first couple days, not really a hole. Pasty...

    Help! Rooster tore off skin on hen's head

    I was checking on my chickens to put them up for the night and found one of my hens hiding in the corner. Her feathers were askew so I was concerned. Then I noticed that her ruffled feathers were attached to a flap of skin barely attached to her head. She has no skin on her head from her comb...

    My Easter Eggers from Ideal looked just like Lil' Bit. Ideal sometimes puts out EEs without beards or earmuffs.

    Roo has purple comb, is lethargic and wheezing

    He just convulsed and flapped his wings and legs for several minutes and then died. His legs, wings, and neck were all stretched and very stiff like rigor mortis right before he died but he was still breathing. Botulism? I really hope my other chickens don't have it, whatever it is.

    Roo has purple comb, is lethargic and wheezing

    This morning I found my rooster in the bushes, hiding away from everyone. When the hens saw him they started to chase him and peck at him so I brought him inside. I then noticed his comb was a very dark purple and he was gasping for breath. He has been in isolation until I can figure out what's...

    Is my Light Brahma a roo?

    It's about 4 months old, I was suspicious since it didn't squat like the others.

    What breeds are these?

    I have a bunch of extras from Ideal and no clue what they are. I do have suspicions though, and it would be great to have them confirmed. This one is a roo, I think a OEGB but not sure of the color. It's not apparent in this picture but his tail is really long. This is another view of...

    Is my Light Brahma a roo?

    I'm getting suspicious of my light brahma, she/he doesn't have sickle feathers like my other roos but I heard it's hard to tell with Brahmas. What do y'all think?

    TSC "red pullets" are not red... sex link males or buff orps?

    Red Star pullets sometimes start out yellow and feather in red later or just on the shoulders. Just cross your fingers and hope they are Red Stars!

    What am I? Barred Rock? Boy or Girl?

    This is my favorite chick. I'm really hoping shes a she but I'm not sure. I also have no clue what breed she is. She looks like a barred rock from the top but has a white chest.

    What breed starts out white and turns red?

    I have a chick about 2 months old who when I first got him, was yellow, however when his feathers started to come in they were red. I was wondering if he was perhaps a sex-link but when I looked it up male red sex links are born white and remain white. What could he be? In addition, is this...

    Chick is panting, won't open eyes, and won't eat

    One of my EE chicks is panting constantly and is squinting it's eyes. It is moving around between the heat lamp and the cool area of the brooder so I don't think heat is a problem. It has stopped eating and drinking but I have been dipping it's beak into the water dish. I am really concerned...

    What breeds are these chicks?

    I don't think they are japanese since they aren't fluffy at all like those. They are very tightly feathered. I do think that #2 is a light brahma though. I always wanted one! Could #1 be a quail belgian d'anver?

    What breeds are these chicks?

    I ordered some chicks from Ideal and they sent me 16 (!!!) males for warmth. I know what most are but a couple I'm not sure about. Chick #1 has a white mask around his face and clean legs. Chick #2 is a bantam with feathered legs. He's larger than chicks 3-5 though. Chicks #3-5 are tiny...

    Chick is panting constantly

    I got some chicks yesterday and everything was going well but when I went to check on the chicks this morning one of the EEs was panting heavily. I assumed it was overheated and placed it near the waterer and away from the heat lamp. It took a drink and went back under the heat lamp and...
