    Mareks? Maran unable to walk/pale comb/labored breathing

    We have a Black Cuckoo Maran that is about twenty weeks old. Recently, she began walking as if she were uncertain of his next step, kind of like a drunk. She also has labored breathing with her mouth open and heavy breaths. I thought maybe she was egg bound but she wasn’t. Her poop is solid but...

    Green Poop/Lethargic/can’t stand Pullet

    I have Whiting True Blue that is lethargic and can’t stand. She was sitting in the bedding of the coop while all the others were out roaming. She has always been a little different as far as activity levels and has a swollen crop area. Her legs can’t keep her up. Last week I noticed a Lime green...

I found the Ameracauna carcass in our front yard with a trail of white feathers as if it were chased or carried. No idea where the Barred Rock is resting...

    BARRED ROCK MALE OR FEMALE - 12 WEEKS

    THIS IS MY 12 WEEK OLD PLYMOUTH BARRED THAT I AM TRYING TO FIGURE IF HE IS A ROOSTER. MY SUSPICION COMES FROM HIS DARK FEET AND HIS FEATHERS. HES NOT AS BIG AS THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FLOCK BUT DOES MAKE A NOISE THAT COULD EVOLVE INTO A CROW. ONE OF HIS FLOCK MATES IS AN RIR, AME AGE, WITH A...

    12 WEEK RIR ROO OR HEN????

    This is my 12 week old RIR. Im worried that he may be a rooster. His comb and wattle are bright red and seem to have developed over night. In a flock of three, he was always the second biggest but now hes almost twice the size of the other two. The feathers on the back of his neck look almost...

    To Quarantine or Not To?

    I have three 11 week old chicks - RIR, Ameracauna & Plymouth BR. I just purchased two 6 week old chicks, a Buff Orpington and Favorelle. These were bought from McMurray and shipped to me.

    All My Chicks Died. WTH?

    Well, this certainly sucks. I had four chicks hatch Sunday into Monday and they all died today in their brooder. Maybe someone can help me figure out what went wrong? They were shipped eggs. They all hatched on their own and were kept in the incubator for a full 24 hours. Here is where I may...

    Turn Out Lights on Week Old?

    New to raising chickens so very thankful that a community like this exists. I have 4 chicks that will be a week old tomorrow. I have them in a cage in my garage with a heat source. Question: should I be turning the garage light off at night? There is no natural light in the garage so I suppose...
