Posting for a friend...Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? I don't know much about her condition other than having the pictures and that the hen is lethargic.[/IMG]
I think I have a cockerel here and was just getting ready to list him for sale, but thought I'd better get some other opinions first. I'd sure hate to sell a pullet by mistake! He is about 10 weeks old in these pictures. I've never heard him crow.
Thanks for your input!
I have a Silkie hen that went broody on 6 eggs. Then, over the course of a week or two, she had added another 5 eggs (I assume from the other hen). I finally moved her to her own nesting house so she couldn't take anymore eggs. The problem I am faced with is that the last 5 eggs started...
I have five Jersey Giant cockerels that need to go to a new home. They are four months old and very sweet. I live east of Atlanta in the Covington area. I do not want them to go for meat birds so please only respond if you can provide them with a forever home. Thank you!
Hello! I got this chick 5 weeks ago from the assorted bantams bucket at TSC. I am thinking it might be a barred or mottled Brahma. I've included pictures from when I first got her and now, 5 weeks later. Any help in identifying the breed/gender is greatly appreciated!
Anyone living in Palm Beach County, Fl?? I need some guidance on where to house hunt and how much property I'm going to have to buy in order to keep my chickens. I have been looking in Loxahatchee and would like to broaden my search. What are the zoning rules concerning poultry? Any insider...
TSC had some bantams with feathered legs and four toes. I couldn't resist!! I think they might be cochin, but need some other opinions. I'd also like to know what colors these are. Thanks for your help!

I have two 4 month old cochins that developed a hole on the top of their beaks. Upon closer inspection, the entire beak is wearing away. I have been feeding them Manna Pro starter crumbles and have now added game bird pellets. I thought the Manna Pro starter was good for them until they reached...
I have a cochin pullet, about 4 months old, that has a hole in the top of her beak. I don't know if she injured herself or if it could be caused from something else, such as vitamin deficiency or fungus. It couldn't have been there for very long. She seems to be eating and feeling alright. Does...
I bought a sweet hen today and was told she is a "red laced cochin", but did not find that kind of chicken when I googled it. I did find a partridge cochin and believe that might be what she is. Am I right?
Hello all you chick pros! I got a wild hair and decided to branch out from my existing breeds and picked up 7 adorable chicks from TSC. They were in the "assorted bantams" bucket, but I think I got all of the same breed. They have 5 toes and feathered legs. Are these silkies? Also, they are...
Now I am starting to think her leg or hip is injured! I have never hatched chicks before and I don't know what to do. Can someone please, please help?! I know chicks often die but I would like to try to help her...
When she tries to stand up, she rocks and stumbles backwards, onto her bottom...
