    Does Coccidia show up in chicks only a week old?

    I'm having a run of bad luck this season with my Cornish cross. I received a shipment of 60 healthy, lively chicks, all eager to eat and drink as soon as I got them into the stall. I usually start them on probiotics/electrolytes for 1 day then switch to normal water. This time around, I had...

    Rhode Island Red?

    I was pretty sure this gorgeous Roo is a RIR, but I wanted 2nd opinions just in case. His reds are so deep and shiny, along with his greens. Very vibrant. (Of course the greens don't show very well at all on my camera :barnie) Here he is!
