I just got home after a 2 vacation, and of course Murphy’s
Law had to punish me for it with a broken chick. That will teach me to leave the farm!
This little guy was apparently fine until 2-3 days ago when s/he stopped being able to walk. It is the smallest of 3- much smaller than its two...
I am new to chicken conformation and the SOP, so am curious as to your thoughts on this (the blue) 4-5 month old cockerel. Of the 3 that I have, I like him the most- his shape appeals to me, as well as his feathering and overall appearance. That said, I don’t know very much besides a couple of...
Another “which roo” thread!
In my flock of 17, I have 3 bantam Cochin cockerels, about 4.5 months and a slightly older olive egger roo. He was injured by a fox as at 2 months and has a funny gait- he has no issues roosting, mating or getting around, just looks weird moving, so would be more...
Thanks to the irresistible mixed bin at TSC, I (like everyone else on here) haven’t be able to contain my desire for a colorful little flock. I’ve got most pretty well id’d, but this little one. Japanese? Something else? The black spots around the neck are throwing me, as is the lack of tail...
Hey y’all.
My poor little olive egger pullet got taken by a fox, but he was interrupted in the act and dropped her. Although she has no visible wounds (blood, puncture), she has completely lost the use of one leg. This happened about 4 days ago. I thought for sure that she wouldn’t make it. Her...
Unfortunately, a fox managed to nab some of my juvenile birds last night but I found my little olive egger pullet laying on the ground some distance from the coop. She was obviously in distress and unable to walk. After checking her out and letting her rest in a dark quiet place, it would appear...
These little ones are about 6 weeks old. Mystery bantams from TSC. They each have a white spot under their chins, but all black including legs. Any thoughts as to breed and gender? They are absolutely needy little barnacles right now- all they want to do is sit on my lap, ride on my shoulder or...
4 more bantams today because Tractor Supply is a big jerk and keeps getting in cute ones.
I am pretty certain that 3 are bantam Cochins, but no idea what the 4th is. Also have a clean legged white bantam from the last batch who now has black spots on its wings. Any ideas? Would love help with...
Hi guys! It’s chick season, and my inability to walk past a bin of mystery bantams remains unchanged. I can usually figure out what they are pretty early on, but this little gray/yellow guy is a bit different!
He/she is a funny, squat little shape- wider than it is tall, sticky outy wings...
I couldn’t walk past the mixed bantam bin at tractor supply. Just couldn’t help myself! I’m pretty sure that I have 3 Sebrights, but not sure about the others. What do y’all think? The 2 bigger ones- think they snuck into the bantam group?
