    Is this fowl pox?

    I got back after week out of town with someone else watching my chickens and discovered one of my ladies has a swollen and crusty face. She’s half silkie, about a year and a half old, and usually very broody. She still has a normal appetite but has a bit less energy. My two full silkies have a...

    Crusty looking beak

    Does anybody know why my silkies beak looks like this? I noticed my other one had a crusty looking beak a few weeks ago (photo below) and now this one (top photo) has it too. They are otherwise completely healthy and are almost 11 weeks old.

    Silkie Genders

    I know it’s way too early but I’m having my suspicions and want to see if anyone else has any opinions! I bought fertile eggs from a breeder in Florida and incubated these muppet babies myself! (First time incubating- 4 were clears, one was scrambled, one stopped developing around day 7, and 4...

    Incubation questions

    I’m getting my first eggs by mail (which I’m a bit nervous about but we’ll see) and I have a few questions. I have the janoel 12 incubator and I’m testing it before my silkie eggs get here. Today the temperature climbed higher than I had it set and then dropped and kept getting lower until going...

    Bantam Cochin cockerel so cal

    I bought this guy from TSC and he was hatched on/around 3/21. It turns out he is frazzle rather than frizzle, so he's a bit bald. This does mean that if you breed him with a straight feathered hen all of the offspring will be frizzle (as far as I understand). I cannot keep roosters in my area...

    So. Cal OEGB Cockerels for Sale

    $10 each hatched on 3/21 and bought at TSC. $10 each, but this is flexible! I would mostly just love for them to have good homes. Splash and BB Red (I’m not 100% on the coloring). Both are happy and crowing and need new homes! I’m located in Van Nuys, CA.

    Bantam Cochin- Frizzle or maybe frazzle?

    I’m starting to think maybe this guy is frazzle rather than frizzle. His wing feathers are so thin and he has bald spots over his wings. He’s just over 7 weeks old (a little younger in the photos). Are his feathers just coming in slow and he’s frizzled or could he possibly be frazzled? This...

    Bantam Cockerels in Southern California

    I have four boys hatched on or around 3/21 that I bought from tractor supply on 3/25. I’m asking $10 each (but if it’s a good home I’m flexible on that). They have not been outside yet and have not been exposed to any other birds other than the chicks they’ve been raised with since day one. I...

    Can I integrate full growns with my bantams?

    I have 9 bantams (which will soon be 4 or 5 because I can’t keep the roosters). They are still inside in the brooder and will be 5 weeks old on Wednesday. There are 2 silkies and a cream legbar that I am thinking about getting that are a year old. Is it safe (for biosecurity and physical safety...

    Sleepy Chick... Cocci? Help please!

    Any ideas if there’s something wrong? My sweet little chick is acting extra tired today. It just started a few hours ago. All the other chicks are running around as usual and this one is just laying here. It’s usually the first one to inspect everything and boss everyone around (I named it Roo...

    Chick with explosive sounding poop

    One of my chicks sounds like it’s farting loudly almost each time it poops. It’s so loud! The poop looks normal and the chick is acting normal. The little bantam guy is very active, eats more than the others, and is the loudest. If I remember right it did have a pasty butt when I got it home...

    What Breeds Are My Bantams from TSC

    I got 9 bantam babies yesterday from Tractor Supply. They’re roughly 5-7 days old from what I’ve been told (but they maybe seem a little closer to 1 1/2- 2 weeks based on their wing feathers). I think I have somewhere between 5-6 breeds. Let me know if you have any idea what they are! (I added...

    Dead chickens... Any answers?

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I'm hoping some of you out there could help me figure out what happened. This past weekend my two (and only) chickens passed away. We left around 5pm Saturday and were going to be out for the night and so they were locked up then. The next morning...

    Pennchlor 64 antibiotic for respiratory infection

    I just stopped at my local feed store and I picked up pennchlor 64 (Chlortetracycline HCL) for one of my hens to mix in with the water. My question is should I just treat her (I only have two hens) and separate them during the treatment or should I treat them both? She is not laying yet but my...

    Permethrin and a sneezing hen

    My 5 1/2 month old hen, Penny, has been breathing somewhat louder than usual for nearly a week now and sneezing for about two or three days. She has no other symptoms and seems to be in great health. (My other hen, Henrietta, spent nearly a week inside the house in the shower because she was...

    Help! Puffed up sick chicken

    Both of my girls seemed super healthy two days ago. Yesterday Henrietta's feathers seemed a bit dull and rumpled but I just figured it was because I saw some lice, but overall I wasn't too concerned. Today I wake up and she's puffed up, left watery green poops (that smell awful) in the roost...
