My seven week old salmon Faverolle mix is acting lethargic, is stretching her neck and twisting it in circular motions, has a little croak/deep sounding noise after peeping. Worried she might have Marek's. no balance problems but her wings are lowered a little. She was ordered from MPC as a...
Looking for any laying hens/pullets that would give me a nice mix of browns, blues/greens, whites, creams, and pale browns. Wanting to get about 15-20. Also would love to get some silkie pullets/hens to hatch some eggs with. Live in South Coast (RI/MA area) and I am willing to drive a bit (1-1.5...
These chicks were purchased as pullets from MyPetChicken.com and were born on Sept 19th. They turned five weeks old yesterday. Have suspected that a few are cockerels, but they've changed over the past two weeks and I'm no longer sure.

I've had this (presumed) hen since she was two days old (Apr. 18, 2016) We have two polish laced Roos in our coop from our straight run package who just began crowing, and I'm wondering if this Cochin is just a big, assertive hen or a roo. Has not crowed, but does occasionally peck the Roos. She...
