4) No other birds are ill
5) No sign of trauma anywhere, I even bathed her rear end
6) She would not eat earlier today, but I moved her inside...
I have a 2-3 months old Bantam roo that just started crowing. He crows NON STOP. Is this just a young, coming into his own thing? Will he eventually crow less? Or is this a sign that he will always be a talker?
I acquired this pair of Olandsk Dwarfs from Greenfire Farms very recently. They've taken to me very quickly and aren't the least bit flighty. I've noticed they are very social and seem to love being around other birds, we've really enjoyed having them so far - they are excellent lawn...
I have a large chicken run with 13 hens. I was given two muscovy ducklings this weekend. Is it even feasible to think 1 hen muscovy could live with my chickens? The run is VERY dry, so I don't mind if part of it gets a little wet. I could keep a small kiddie pool in the run for the muscovy...
I had a BLRW hatch 4 chicks last week. Today, I have a Silver Sussex hatching 7 or 8. Next week 12 more are due under a Light Brahma. I have had lots of hens go broody and hatch chicks, and they even raise them in our flock. BUT, I've never had 3 broodies at one time with babies. I know all...
I'd like a pet pair of pigeons to live in my large run/coop. We would build a loft area for the pigeons to stay away from the chickens if need be. What breeds do best?
This girl is about 5 months old, she recently started laying. I purchased her from Greenfire Farms. She is mainly white, but the older she gets the more colors that are popping up throughout her. I think she will continue to get more color variation. She is a very sweet, often handled bird...
I have 2 swedish flower chicks for sale. They are from Greenfire farms, check out their website. They are a few weeks old, I am fairly confident it's a pair. These are gorgeous birds! Pick up in Georgia.
I have chicks hatching from a Coronation Sussex Roo & Silver Sussex Hen. Some chicks are yellow, and some are black. I know nothing about genetics and breeding, these eggs were given to me. . . what are these chicks?
I started out with 3 Barred Rocks. One started to look like a rooster very early on, about 3 weeks ago. Now I'm left with these 2. They are probably around 6 weeks old. One has a slightly redder comb, but both are at least pink. Thoughts?
The two together:
Chick 1, the paler of the two...
OK, I can't have roosters or hens where I am. I've had chickens for 3 years and my neighbors are fine with it. Well I'm doing my friend a favor and keeping a rooster overnight. Well he's been quiet until now - he just woke us up crowing. We have him in a bathroom under the vanity in our guest...

Or should you pip an egg? I know there is the possibility that something is wrong with the chick. . . but just curious if anyone has done this? I'm about to enter day 22, and last night a barred rock hatched. There are 3 other eggs that were moving on day 15 and looked great, well, none of...
Does anyone know where I can find this? I have the American Standard of Perfection but it only has large fowl. Does anyone know where I can find the bantam standard?
Thanks
