    Help with Diagnosis

    I just lost my third Hen to "Disease" and could use some help with Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention. We lost the first around Thanksgiving, the second was 3 weeks ago, and the latest died last night. All three hens, the first two were White Laced Red Cornish and the latest was an...

    There is Hope!

    What kind of Chickens do I have?

    We have five lovely 4 1/2 to 5+ week old chicks. We were led to believe that they are Cornish Cross, but they don't look like any pictures I've seen of Cornish Cross at a similar age. They do have some whitish feathering, but it has a noticeable buff/brown coloring mixed in (Not dirt-I Checked...

We picked up 5 pullets last week from the local Feed Store with the intention of having egg laying hens and only found out afterward that they are Cornish Cross chicks. We've fully researched the "Breed" and intend to...
