    Crying chick?

    I have new bantams, 5-6 days old. There are five of them. Four are doing well, one though is....off. It chirps loudly all the time. I've adjusted heat, it has food and water, company, everything to make a chick happy. Aside from the crying, it also has constant pasty butt and runny poop. I'm...

    Foot scab?

    Is a scab on the foot pad always bumblefoot? I ask because I was doing a normal flock inspection and discovered a small scab on my hens foot pad. She's not limping or acting unusual, it isn't red, warm and/or swollen. But it is definitely a scab. So I'm wondering if a scab could just be a scab...

    What's going on with comb/waddles?

    Noticed this whiteness from the earlobes and black dots on my 16 week old cockerel today. No one else seems to have it, he does have the biggest combs and waddles though. He seems to be acting like his normal self. I wouldn't have even noticed if he hadn't been nipping some treats from our hands...

    Roosters-will they grow out of it?

    I have 2 Easter egger cockerels, aged almost 16 weeks. They have recently become very mean to my pullets. Chasing them and pecking. Today they attacked several times over the course of an hour ending with the near scalping of my buff Orpington. I was in the process of cleaning her up and sorting...

    Lazy cockerel?

    Any ideas why my 11 week old cockerel lays down any chance he gets. I've even seen him laying and eating. He's alert of what's around him, he'll get up if he needs to. I've checked him over and don't see any reason why he would need to lay down-feet, legs, body all looks good. He is a fair...

    Any ideas what's snatching our chickens?

    Just looking for closure mostly. I've lost three chickens over the past few months. They disappear without a trace, not even a feather dropped. I've lost one to a fox before and it left quite the mess. Curious what could be scooping the girls up like this. I'm in central Indiana, near a wooded...

    Easter egger gender help

    Supposed to be a pullet but I have my doubts. 11weeks old. Not as developed in the comb as the definite Easter egger cockerel but has a different comb than him and the two girls.

    Roosters?

    I'm 99% sure I've got a surprise roo but wanted to verify first. "She" is supposed to be an EE pullet. With another EE pullet With the (known) Barred Rock cockerel

    Gender, sneaky roo?

    Golden laced Wyandotte. I have three, should all be pullets, all are various shades of pink in the comb and some degree of little wattles. This one happens to be the furthest along. They're about a month old, though I did snag these on a weekend before chick season was in full swing here so who...

    Clicking chick?

    Have a chick about a week and half old that is apparently clicking while breathing. She's acting totally fine, I wouldn't have even noticed the clicking if I hadn't happened to pick her up today. She's not breathing with her mouth open or anything, eating and drinking fine, active and "flying"...

    Red Cross?

    Was told these were Red Cross chicks but now I'm not sure based off the pictures I saw on Google. Only one chick picture but both are feathering like this. Both had red bodies and one was red headed and the other a pale yellow head. Anyone have an opinion?

    What is this and what to do?

    (Photo in comment below, not letting me add it in new post) Noticed this today on one of my 19 week old pullets. Other info: there are 5 other pullets, aged 17-19 weeks, no one is laying, no one else has this, she is the most developed thus far. Questions: what is this? Is it contagious (to...

    What could be wrong?!

    My chicks are 4 and 5 weeks old, nearly fully feathered (the younger ones just have some tufts of down on their heads and bellies and under their wings, the older one are starting to feather under their wings and are feathered everywhere else.) They've been outside most of the day yesterday and...

    Age of chicks and roosting question

    We got 6 chicks from the red pullet bin at TSC a couple weeks ago. I'm fairly certain they are all the same breed. However I'm trying to get a better age on them. When we got them we were told they were 3-4 days old. Once we got them home and out it was fairly obvious half were probably older...
