    Hi everyone, I have been wanting to ask this and just getting around to it. A little nervous because I see alot about ciocci and it appears to be so deadly. I clean poop off of bars/shelves every morning and I do notice on occasion some sloppy poo with blood in it. This has gone on for quite...

    Is it just me....

    Or is the GJ&F area not the same as it used to be? I haven't been around for quite a while, BYC was sucking up my time over the summer so I decided to get a life outside of the Crazy Pullets (no offense to any of my fellow pullets) and now I come back and there are more role play threads then...

    What breeds are these chicks?

    I think the last ones are leghorns but I am unsure of the rest. For some reason I am thinking EEs for 2 and/or 3 because they looked very chipmunky when they were younger, though I know other breeds can have that too.

    Lethargic Silkie what to do....

    Like my title implies, my poor 4 month old Silkie girl is very lethargic.

She sometimes makes soft...
