Hi all!
I just got this sweetheart yesterday from a rescue. She was an owner surrender along with her 8 month old filly. When I was taking pictures, she kind of looks pregnant to me. I was told that she was pastured with a stallion, but no one knows if she was bred. Any thoughts?
I rescued a mature pot belly pig sow yesterday. She is a big girl who came from squalor! All I was told is she is 1-2 years old, around 75lb, was running with other pigs and a boar, and she could be pregnant. I got her home and settled in. I have the Mauzari (sp) Pot Belly juvenile pig food. Is...
Hi Everyone!
I am new to the world of Peafowl. We have a 1 year old IB peacock. We bought some peachicks from a breeder in OH. These two are Purple Spauling peachicks. They are 4 weeks old now. Can you guys tell me what sex they are? Here are their picture:

I have a cold or something running through my Silkies. Three have gooey eyes, nasal discharge, and occasionally sneezing.. My local Tractor Supply said to put Tetracycline in the water and it would clear right up within days. I have seen no improvement. They are eating, drinking, and otherwise...
Hi,
I bought this great little one from a respectable breeder. After waiting a month and a half for a SQ Partridge Silkie, I was sent this. I have been told it is a slipped wing. That is a DQ for a show bird. Is there any way to correct this? Is it injury related or genetics? She was hatched...
Ok, so I ordered LF Blue Salmon Faverolles hatching eggs from eBay. I was sent 7 eggs, of which only 2 hatched. One was indeed was a Faverolle, the other I have no idea. The guy who sold me the eggs said it was a Lavendar Orpington. I question this because A: the chick appears to be golden with...
Hi Guys,
I have this chick and I really on the fence as to whether it is a pullet or roo. The other roo's from the hatch have a much more developed combs and wattles. I just cannot tell. This chick will be 8 weeks old this coming Friday. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
Hi All,
I have been raising chickens for a year now, so I still come across crazy stuff every now an again :) Today when I collected eggs, I noticed this teeny tiny egg. It has a nice shell, but I have no idea what to think. It is very cute, but I hope there is nothing serious going on. They...
Hi Guys!
I noticed today on of my sons roosters was a bit down and not as happy as usual. He was drinking a bit but is generally lethargic. I h
gave him a once over and noticed he has mites or lice. I am just not sure which one. They looked pinkish/light reddish. They are sort of long it looked...
Hi All,
I have a 5 month old Gold Laced Polish roo. I got him as a one day old from Sand Hill Preservation. He always seemed to be growing up a little different. He walks kinda weird and lays down a lot. His toes seem to stay stiff and spread when he walks. He takes a few steps then lays...
My sons 3.5 old Gold Laced pullet is in distress this morning. She was fine yesterday, but when I let them out this morning her wings are droppy and spread open a bit. She just wants to lay on the ground. Please help, I don't want to loose my sons favorite little pullet!!!
They are housed well...
Hi All,
I need some advice from you guys! My Rooster Clifford has a big sore on his comb. It started when the weather started turning cold. First I thought it might be frost bite. However, seeing everyone else's photos of frost bite, it doesn't look like what Clifford has going on. I hope it is...
Hi All,
I bought my first Silkie today. The owner said he/she is to young to sex. From everything I have read, this breed seems to be very difficult to sex. This young one is 12 weeks old. I am hoping some of you out there that know Silkies can give me your opinions on the gender of my new...
Hi All,
I just got this little pullet (8 month old Partridge Bantam Cochin) over the weekend. Since she has been home, she pretty much stays all scrunched up. She seems to stay by herself and sleep, even when she is outside. She will stand up and get out of your way if your in the pen, as...
Hi Everyone,
So, we have a couple of young breeding pairs of BQ Salmon Faverolles (Not Hatchery Stock). We were thrilled when they started breeding, and we put a test egg in the incubator and we got this little one. I thought it might be a bit easier to sex them. This baby is 3 weeks old now...
Hi Everyone,
I need help to identify what predator killed my 10 Week old Delaware chick. This attack took place between 11AM-3PM. The chick pen is close to the house and our Bichons (which bark at EVERYTHING) and Akita have their pen close to the chick pen as a deterrent. This attack was...
Hi All,
i am looking for some SQ or BQ Silver Laced Bantam Cochins. I am looking for hatching eggs or chicks. If you have any or know of a good breeder, please let me know. I am having a hard time finding nice quality. Thanks for reading!

I received two mystery eggs with my order of Isbars. Both eggs were dark chocolate brown. I believe the black chick is a Black Copper Marans, as it has little feathered legs. The bigger white chick, I have no idea. It has two patches of black on it, and clean legs. I asked the breeder what...
Hi All,
This is such a great forum, and there are so many knowledgeable chicken folks out there. I need you guys to tell me what is wrong with the little chicks beak. My sons were so excited to find a Golden laced Polish chick, they bought this little chick, and I was not around to inspect it...
Hi everyone,
I posted earlier today and thought I had a handle on things, now I am not so sure. This is my 25 week old Red Sex-link pullet named Nugget. She was attacked by our dog last night. She came home this morning and she was clearly injured. I initially thought it was just two...
