Hi everyone.
Okay I've never had this problem before in my several years with chickens so if you could please help me out that would be great.
I've dealt with bumblefoot, predator attacks and wounds, splay legs, yolks not absorbed. You name it I think I've seen or done it except a couple...
So this started a week ago give or take a day. He limped some the first day and was staying in the coop instead of free ranging. Which is odd for our silkies as they're actually great foragers in our experience. I picked him up looked him over I checked the bottom of his foot(left leg) and...

I know the chick on the right is a golden Laced sebright. The one on the left is the one in question and is also a bantam. He turned out to be a cockeral and is now 14 weeks. The problem comes, because I still can not figure out his breed. He has a spiked rosecomb but no white earlobes. He also...
Hi everyone! Not to sound creepy but I've just about been stalking this site for the last 4 months. We decided to get chickens this spring and before even getting our first five buff Orpington pullets from farm and fleet; what I've since discovered is an illness known as chicken math, struck...
