    Pale comb and mouth slightly open

    My 2 year old hen has a very pale comb. She also seems to keep her mouth slightly open most of the time that I watched her today. However, she is moulting. Is she just weak from moulting or should I be concerned? I do plan to worm her tomorrow and will be worming with Safe-guard in the water...

    Unusual color - what is it? - *Updated pics of barring pg 2*

    This little cockeral has me stumped. He was born blue. Now, he's showing barring AND odd orange spots along his back. What on earth is this color? He's around 10 weeks.

    What color is this Cochin chick?

    I am not sure if this is a cochin chick or a cochin x cochin/brahma, although I suspect the latter. He/She is 3 weeks old, almost 4 weeks. Is this color a partridge or ??? Roo is a crele project color and hens are black. If it is a partridge, does that mean it's a pullet since there is barring...

    Golden cuckoo?

    I'm still trying to figure out what color this roo is. I saw a golden cuckoo and thought maybe that's the best name for this color? Can anyone give me a shove in the right direction as to what I call this and what colors might have created this? I'm just trying to figure out what colors I would...

    Injured chick - questions

    I have a 2 day old chick who was pecked by the broody. He has a small wound on his head and his eyes are swollen. I brought him inside under a heat lamp. My questions are: 1.) Do I put any ointment on the wound or leave it alone? 2.) How often do I need to make sure he drinks and stays...

    What color is this??

    I will get pics soon, I promise. But ... anyone ever seen a chipmunk pattern (like a BLRW) on a chick that also has a VERY bright orange head and neck? The hen is solid black. The rooster is a wanna be crele pattern (but he's not a true crele).

    Can a hen hatch chicks from two different roos?

    Can a hen lay eggs within a week period and one egg be from Roo #1 and one egg be from Roo #2? I don't know why, but I thought the sperm stayed in there for a few weeks by one roo and just assumed that another roo could not fertilize her ... well, he COULD but I just assumed the eggs would all...

    What color? Blue or black?

    These are blue cochin x black australorp and black brahma. I assume they are all black, but thought I would ask and see if I might be lucky and one is a blue? One is certainly a tad lighter in color than the other two. Thanks!

    Brahma roo with single comb? PICS added post #12

    I just picked up a very pretty roo today. He looks to be a crele Brahma, only he has a single comb. I was wondering, are Brahmas like Silkies in that a single comb can pop up here and there? Or, is he 100% beyond a doubt a mixed breed? The farm he came from had mostly Brahmas running around and...

    Is my bantoom rooster fertlizing my standard hens?

    I was wondering if my bantam rooster was covering my standard hens. I cracked open one egg and it was definitely NOT fertile. I cracked open a second egg and found this: Would you all agree this is most certainly fertile?

    Very sick birds! What is wrong?

    I have noticed the last 4 days that my 2 newest birds quit roosting on their perch. They've been caged separately from my main flock, but only about 150 feet away. Anyhow, I didn't see them much for the past 2 nights because I fed at night time and they appeared to be roosting. Today, when I...

    Can I integrate a young pullet with an older roo?

    I have a 10 week old pullet who is by herself and I also have a year old roo who is by himself. With a decent sized pen, could I safely allow these two to be together? Or is it more likely that the roo would hurt the pullet?

    Opinions on this Frizzled Cochin?

    Would anyone be so kind as to critique this roo? He is coming up on a year of age. I'd like to do county fairs with him and if nice enough, APA shows (although I know that is probably a stretch). Pics are the best I could get with very little light to work with (taken tonight). Sorry! He...

    What color is this Cochin? Project color?

    I saw a thread not long ago with a new project or something ... blue looking cochin bantams with red on the neck. Anyhow, I saw this girl today and picked her up. Now I cannot find the thread. What color is this called?

    Frizzle question??

    This "Cochin" hen is obviously a frizzle BUT her tail sticks up straight? Is this a frizzle thing or is she just that poor in quality? Not sure if it matters, but she is supposed to be less than a year old (probably coming up on a year soon). Edited to add: this is my first frizzle hen...

    Question about mottled coloring

    I was told recently that mottled cockerals are well known for not coloring up much until after they're a year old or older. Is this true?

    Which Cochin roo has better type and are either show quality?

    I have two roosters and only want to keep one. I'd like opinions on which is the better bird and if either are of show quality. Color and feather type (one is frizzled) do not matter to me - strictly type. However, I'm having a very hard time telling the type on the frizzle since the feathers...

    Calico Bantam Cochin Pair

    I am selling off all of my bantam cochins. This is my best pair. The roo is a calico and he is very typey, considering his age. He is still a cockeral and won't be a year old until the early spring. The hen is close to the same age, but older by about a month. She was/is a mille fleur, but her...
