    SL Wyandotte over Soeckled Sussex… Any guesses on colors? Who’s into color genetics?!

    Hi everyone! This is just for fun, but I’d love to hear what you think of these lil chicks and how they’ll turn out. Rooster is SL Wyandotte. Hen is Speckled Sussex and maybe a Saphire Gem? I know it was two hen’s eggs, but I can’t for the life of me figure out the second hen. Anywho, my...

    8 week old chick can’t stand: no balance, falls back on hocks

    I have an 8 week old EE chick that I found yesterday morning laying down just outside of the coop. I first thought injury, but ruled that out after finding no wounds. Took her inside and examined her all over and observed her and signs pointed to possible slipped tendon, botulism or...

    Weird bubble thing on 5 day old chick

    Hi everyone! I just noticed this strange bubble thing on my chick this afternoon. I thought it was just his crop (and may be just that) but was alarmed by the loss of fluff feathers. It's all missing in this patch and I can see what appears to be a fluid-filled bubble. Is this just a normal...

    Quarantine Compromised?

    Welp, I went and did a dumb thing. I brought home a rooster yesterday and then my hens today and I went and used the same crate! I wasn't even thinking about it, honestly. I had planned out a way to quarantine them and everything. Is my quarantine now compromised? Should I skip it since...
