I have a week old silkie chick that I noticed has a bit of labored breathing, not terribly though. She shakes her head and scratches at her beak so I thought something was in her nostril but I noticed her beak was cracked below the skin. Could that be why she's breathing heavier? The rest of the...
I got 2 asst ducklings from TSC on March 16th which are the little rouen and the cayuga. The other much larger rouen and the pekin(I'm assuming?) were brought home April 5th. The little rouen is female, she is super loud and quacks all the time and is in charge of everyone lol. But why is she so...

I got these 2 out of the bantam bin at TSC. I have assumed they were buff bantam cochin but if anyone thinks different I would be happy to know. I know the lighter on is a rooster, he's had a nice bright red comb for quite a while now. The darker one I'm not sure of. He/she just recently within...
