    Silkie with a big blotch. Is this normal?

    I have a blue/black/splash pen of silkies and have been breeding for a few years. Then I recently got a new blue rooster and the first chick I hatched from h was odd. It was a yellowish white chick with a big bluish spot on it. And this is how he looks now: I figured he would be a splash...

    Turkey Hatching Problems

    I've had trouble hatching any of my Royal palm turkey eggs but I finally got one to term. Unfortunately, yesterday which was day 27, someone locked my cats in my room and they knocked over the incubator. I came home to this and quickly put the incubator back together and put the egg back in...

    What breeds are these?

    So I've got some young bantams that I'm just puzzled over what breed they are. Maybe someone can help me out please? The buffy colored ones in the last two seem to have rose combs but the rest are single.

    TSC Bantam Chick Identification

    I bought six chicks at tractor supply to keep my line silkie chick company. One of them I already know is a silkie but I'm not so sure on the other five. Please help? Can't see it very well in the picture but seems to be a self blue/lavender color? Seems to be white except it's got a black...

    HELP!

    I have a standard Cochin rooster who is sneezing violently and has foam coming out of his mouth! What can I do other than take him to the vet tomorrow? I'm supposed to be leaving town in a few days and this is obviously very worrying!

    Pullet lethargic with slimy poop

    I have a silkie pullet that's only about 3 months old. I've had her inside for a few weeks now after she recovered from a bad case of cocci. But now she's looking sick again. There is no blood. Instead her poop has been very slimey and sometimes greenish. She has nothing in her crop and she...

    Bumblefoot?

    I think this is Bumblefoot but I would like other opinions. If it is though I'm not sure how I feel about doing the surgery myself, especially since it's on both feet. The vet wants $80 just to look at her. :/

    What breed/color is this?

    I got these chicks from tractor supply and they were listed as wyandottes but I haven't seen any chicks this color before? Are they really wyandottes or something else?

    Help!

    My Speckled Sussex hen has suddenly become lethargic and weak today. Yesterday she was active but I noticed she was a bit puffed up. Today she's just laying down but occasionally moves to a different spot. Sitting there with eyes closed and smacking her mouth as if swallowing occasionally. Not...

    Candling!

    So I got my first turkey eggs in the mail and I just candled them at day 14. I had nine in the incubator in all and two were definitely duds. The other seven are a bit questionable. The power went out early in the process and six if them look like they might have been early quitters but I'm...

    Respiratory Problems?

    I have a RIR rooster that's making gurgly/raspy sounds when he breathes. He's been doing this for awhile but it started out faint and has gotten louder. He acts fine, eats, etc, but it's a bit concerning. I opened his mouth but nothing looked abnormal. Any ideas?

    Is this Bumblefoot?

    Is this the beginning of Bumblefoot or just a callous?

    Sussex or Something Else?

    When the white spots in these chicks started showing up I thought for sure they were speckled Sussex. They're two or three months old now and what confuses me is that they still have these brown patterned feathers in their back still. What's even more confusing is that the one I think is a roo...

    What's Your Opinion?

    Anyone have any thought on the breed and gender of these chicks? The first one I know is a black copper maran and I'm fearing its a boy. Although I have heard that young pullets can exhibit some manly traits? Keeping my fingers crossed. On the others I really don't know. They are about a month...

    Intervening

    This is the first time I've artificially hatched eggs. Three silkie eggs. One started pipping Thursday night, and the second on Friday. The second emerged this morning, Saturday, and the first had made very little progress. So I decided to assist it. There was poop in the bottom of the egg when...

    Chick with leg issue

    This chick has a leg wound or something just above the ankle joint. But what's strange is that it's leg can turn around backwards. Does anyone know what this is or if anything can be done for it?

    Leg injury on chick?

    I bought this little Black Copper Maran from a feed store and later noticed this abnormality on its upper leg. It fully circles the leg and has yellow stuff that's peeling off. Any idea what it is? She walks just fine so I'm hoping its nothing serious.

    What are these chicks?

    What are these chicks? They came from a store today that horribly mislabeled a lot of the breeds. So I'm not 100% sure what they are. I think the black ones are black copper marans, but the other two striped ones are a bit more of a mystery. Thoughts?
