Please help me figure out the breed of this feather footed, four toed, slow feathering bantam. It is almost 4 weeks old. Gender guesses welcome as well. Thanks
Hello, we are proud new chick parents... I have a chick that had a pretty awful case of pasty butt, I had an awful time cleaning her up it was all dried into the fuzz under her vent. I got as much as I could off on put some Neosporin around the vent area. A couple hours later I went to check on...
