Last night around sun set a raccoon attacked one of my girls. Luckily I heard her screaming and got out there as soon as I could. She has no wounds but I believe she has a broken neck. Her head was listing all the way to the side and she was having trouble walking. So I tried to stabilize her...
I don’t have a photo unfortunately but I believe my hen has canker. She has a yellowish cheesy looking plaque all over the inside of her mouth. I happen to have Seachem Metroplex for my fish. Can I use that? From what I read a lot of people use API General cure. If I can give it to her how much...
I ordered 2 black copper maran chicks from My Pet Chicken 5 weeks ago. However I noticed they are starting to grow crests?! I’m so confused. They do have light feathering on their legs. I also have 2 other 6 week old ones that I got from elsewhere. No crests and considerably more feathers on...
I have 4 6 week old chicks that I’m questioning. Sorry for the terrible photos. They freak out if I go near them.

one of my hens who has been non stop brooding since spring has something wrong with her vent. I have no idea how long she has had it, I just noticed. I thought she had poop under her vent and went to clean it but it won’t come off. Could it be Prolapsed vent? If so how can I treat her. TIA
I hatched some serama over the weekend and I’m wondering if I have a frizzle. What do you guys think? First pic is the chick in question and the second is definitely a smooth.
I’m hatching out serama and one of the eggs is pipped but it hasent progressed at all. The chick is peeping but it just pecks at the same hole. When I woke up around 4 this morning I noticed the hole in the egg and the humidity was 60%. It’s is now 1:30 in the afternoon and I’m beginning to...
I have a 4 week old black marans that I need help sexing. I got this chick in a marans assortment as sexed female from My pet chicken. Most of them look like girls but there is one that is questionable. It’s waddles are pink it’s hard to tell from these photos though. Sorry for the horrible pics.
I ordered sexed chicks from my pet chicken and I want to see if I have any roosters in the bunch. They are around 3 or 4 weeks old.
Chick 1- frizzle Cochin
Chick 2- Cochin
Chick 3- Cochin
Chick 4- d’uccle
i have decided to get my first rooster. I have 60 hens, will they pick on him or will he automatically take the highest spot in the pecking order? He’s tiny so I don’t want him to get hurt. He’s a Japanese bantam.
I'm not sure if I'm posting on the right forum but I hatched blue laced red Wyandotte and I was wondering if the copper on her head and neck will eventually go away as she gets older. Also will her lacing get better. She was hatched mid June. TIA
I bought chicks sexed as female from McMurray hatchery and I suspect this chick to be a cockerel. "She" is about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks old. I'm kinda in denial Lol
I just hatched some blrw chicks and I am unsure if they are going to end up being black laced red or blue laced red. The person I got the eggs from had a black laced red rooster and blue laced red hens. I'm hoping for blue laced red. Do you think any of these chicks are blue laced red.
Does anyone know what breed this chick is? I got her sexed as a pullet today and the bin was labeled Colombian Wyandotte. She can't possibly be a Colombian because she has feathered feet. She is a hatchery bird. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

These chicks are about a week old, I know they are too young to sex but if anyone has any ideas on what their genders may be that would be great. Also, what color do you think my Cochins are. I'm thinking black but I'm not sure. Thank You
