Hello! I have a beautiful accidental rooster & I can't recall what breed is supposed to be! He has what I think is called a rose comb, though he's dirty right now from all the rain, his legs are white, beak & ears are white as well... Anyone have any ideas?
Legs are muddy right now but...
Hello! I just received my chicks & 2 were from a list of "assorted rare breeds". It might be too early to tell but I'm hoping to maybe narrow them down!
The list of possible chicks in this assortment is here...
I've been doing a research on the cross beak/ scissor beak deformity as I have 10 wk old EE that was normal until about 5 or 6 wks old & developed the condition. From what I've read, it sounds like her prognosis could be ok for a while, so long as she can eat & drink, which she seems very good...

Hello wise BYC community! I'm clearly a newbie in search of assistance. I have been looking for Silkies and stumbled upon 2 at Tractor Supply, in with a mix of day-old bantams. I had to get 6 minimum and in looking for other silkies, I picked a yellowish chick with the same 5 toe configuration...
Hello! How awesome is this site?? It's been so wonderful for my family as we enter into this new venture. I am so hoping you all can advise- I purchased several "bantys" from our local feed store. I picked this one as she(?) was much smaller than the rest and her feathers are sparse and not...
