    Issue Resolved Please Lock Thread Thanks!

    My neighbor has a year and a half old hen that is sick. Her comb and legs are dark purple, bordering black. My husband helped separate her from the flock. Is there anything that can be done for it? It was supposed to be a white leghorn, but the flock lays brown eggs not white. It weighs...

    Supposed to be Black Copper Marans but.......

    This little guy is about 9 weeks old. I got him with 9 other Black Copper Marans chicks. All of the others are starting to get their copper coloring in, but this little fella looks nothing like a Black Copper Marans. He looked just like the others until about 2 weeks ago. What happened to him?

    Problems with Broody Hatch

    I have a Cuckoo Maran broody on 11 eggs originally. They are due to hatch today. I checked her this morning and she had 2 partially hatched chicks dead in their shells. They both had pipped at the wrong end of the egg and their butts were exposed, not their beak. What causes this?
