    Respiratory infection in closed flock (show birds)

    How the heck does a closed flock get respiratory infection? I’m not exactly sure which specific infection it is.

    Does not meet sop, not a breed?

    I got curious from seeing so many Facebook posts “what breed is my chicken” with answers like “that bird has yellow legs so it is a barred rock, not a cuckoo marans”.

    Barred genetics

    I have a Easter Egger over a barred rock and a Dominique hen. Since the females are the only ones with the barred genes, would the chicks with the white dots on their heads be males and the rest are females?

    Hi all! So I posted a few weeks back asking how to tell a pea comb from a single comb in young chicks and I think I figured it out! This would be a pea comb correct?

    Purebred Cochins?

    I contacted some one local about their “Cochins” and they sent me these pictures. I’m in no way an expert but I do know Cochins aren’t crested. And I’ve never heard of any chicken getting a crest at 5 months old due to a “growing phase”. So I’m asking the experts. These are 100% not pure Cochins...
