    Buff hen or rooster??

    This chick is about 4 weeks. It's supposed to be a Buff hen. But it's comb is much larger than the same age Rhode Island Red. Am I worried for nothing or might this be a rooster?

    Cornish cross

    This is just our 2nd year raising Cornish cross. Last year we lost 1 of the chicks after a couple weeks. This year we lost 2 at about 4 weeks and 1 today at 6 1/2 weeks. Is this normal? I thought I read somewhere to expect to lose 10-30%. This would be 3 of 10.

    Sneezing chicken

    I have a Cornish cross that started shaking her head a couple days ago. Tonight it sounds like she's sneezing. We plan to butcher next week. Should I be concerned?

    Missing feathers

    A while back I noticed my Americana was missing feathers from her back. Otherwise, she seems fine. Today I noticed by Barred Rock missing some feathers from her chest. I have no roosters. What could be causing this?

    Ameraucana chicken??? No eggs

    I have what is supposed to be an Aneraucana hen. It never crows, so I'm pretty sure it's a hen. She is between 6-7 months old and has yet to lay an egg. All my other hens of the same age (different breeds) have been laying for over a month. Is this normal?

    Black spots on combs

    We have two roosters. Last night my husband thought one was on his death bed. He was just laying in the outside coop. But breathing. But it was 11:30 and too dark to do anything. This morning he's still alive but doesn't act right. Sometimes he just lays. Sometimes he flails around in circles...
