    No help needed just want to share my sadness

    In the last 3 days I've had to euthanize 2 birds. One girl had already survived a few injuries but being a production bird hit a bad prolapsed vent and had pieces of soft egg hanging out of her. I decided while sad bc she was so sweet after her rough early life it was the best choice. Today I...

    Need to rehome Red Bantam Cochin Rooster

    6 mos old. Located in Schuyler County, NY. Ended up with several roos in my last batch of chicks and he's the last I need to rehome. Little bit more "active" as he's maturing but fairly nice little guy.

    Thank you everyone who offered help

    Over the last few weeks/months I've been desperate to get a gender on my silkie chick. Got into the 5 month mark with no indications. Lots of you guessed cockerel but weren't sure as it's hard to do with silkies. Well...today I watched HIM crow. You all were right even if it was a guess. I'm...

    Silkie is a bit older now...

    Alright friends...still having gender identity issues with this one. Hoping for a pullet. As I have 2 confirmed roos in the group of 4. They're all 15.5 weeks and my polish boy has been crowing a few weeks now. Zero combs/waddles and super sweet

    Silkie 13 wks old

    Straight run bantam bin at TSC. Almost all males. This one I thought was a pullet but now I'm not so sure. Haven't seen any attempts to crow. No comb/waddles. Super sweet. The buff I had I knew was a boy around 7 weeks. Had a massive comb and waddles and was crowing. They're now 13 weeks. Today...

    9.5 wk old polish

    First time with the breed. With all my good layers I wanted some fun breeds. These 2 polish I'm afraid I'll never be able to sex them. They're 9.5 weeks. I know...probably too young. Just looking for some possible insight. First one is a little spitfire and pecks me like crazy when I'm cleaning...

    Possible dislocated hip?!?! Please help

    I don't really have any good pictures. But I had a hen go to isolation a few weeks ago due to injury from another hen. Thought a sprain or something. I just brought her in for a bath and blow dry and her hip joint feels different. She will stand but not bear weight and hops on her good leg...

    3 week old cochin?

    Few weeks ago I fell victim to TSC late season chick days. It appears my "assorted bantam" bin gave me a cochin. I was in the coop/brooder tonight checking over everyone and noticed tell-tale redness of a young cockerel. These babies are only 3 weeks old. I don't want to be right but "it" is a...

    Chicken math...

    Lo and behold I went for bedding and came out with a few more chicks. Bantam bin got me. I'm pretty sure I got 3 polish, 2 silkies, and then an unknown. Unknown has 4 toes, feathered legs, not dark skinned/legged/beak like the silkies. Not sure what other bantam breeds it could be. Last 2 pics...

    Japanese bantam mix?

    Got this little guy just yesterday. After some input from folks on the BYC Facebook page it seems he's some sort of Japanese bantam mix. I guess bc his legs are dark instead of yellow? Any ideas of what mix? He's more slender than other pics I've seen online while looking. More streamlined like...

    Broken wing???

    I think my bully hen got to my EE baby. She's 3 months old. Noticed today her left wing is kind of hanging. Just the tip/end of it. Skin underneath in the area is green/blue bruised looking. What can I do for her? Bully hen is done. She's already been isolated and hasn't changed. I want to help...

    1 month old babies

    My girls are now a month old. When I originally posted I wasn't sure what they were. Bin at TSC had been labeled Ameraucana. Was suggested more than likely they're EEs. Since they've gotten a little bigger I've noticed one has pretty obvious greenish legs. The other 3 are a yellow-green. One...

    EE Varieties?

    So my babies are getting big...I think almost 4 weeks sometime next week. Was told they're most likely EEs. Also have 2 BOs. One seems 3 of the EEs has yellow legs, one has a green-ish tinted to them. My understanding is there isn't really a "standard" for EEs in regards to colors, combs, face...

    Adjusting to new space?

    I have a 6 week old BR pullet and six 3-wk old (hopefully all) pullets. The 6 wk old is a weasel attack survivor. So she got new siblings and has been a GREAT big sister. Yesterday was day one in the outdoor brooder. Nice big space. Several roosting areas, feed, water, and heat plate. Out of...

    Looking for a "local"

    I was just referred by a neighbor to a local supply store that sells chicken feed. It's a mennonite run place and all the feed is made local. It's about $5 cheaper per 50 lb bag compared to my local TSC. I was looking to see if there was anyone near Yates County, NY who may have come across this...

    EE or Ameraucana? Several pics

    I recently got 6 new chicks after 7 out of 8 were taken by a baby mink. The lone survivor wouldn't relax by herself. Despite being almost a month old I got new babies so she could have flock-mates again. Thankfully she's taken right to them and doing great. 2 buff orpingtons and 4 idk what? TSC...

    Too young for outdoor brooder?

    I have 8 chicks between 1 and 3 weeks old (had one pass and got a replacement chick). They're spending less time under the heat plate and quickly outgrowing the indoor brooder. If they have the heat plate still (which I have no intention of removing til they're fully feathered) would they be ok...

    3 week old Barred rocks

    Doing lots of research and I'm not sure what path my 3 barred rocks are taking. One is kind of "patchy" in color, another some defined colors, and the 3rd is in between. At around 3 weeks is it too early to tell? First 2 images with camera flash. 3rd, 4th, 5th with natural lighting. I'm guessing...

    Brahma pullet?

    After having a chick pass bc of what I guess was some sort of internal development issue I called TSC and they offered a replacement chick. I go down, pick out what is labeled as a brahma pullet. However she has clean legs? Side effect of being hatchery chick? Or not brahma at all? Thanks for...

    Slow-growing bantam?

    My chicks are a little over 2 weeks old but I have a bantam silkie who just seems really small and not growing like the other chicks. I have witnessed little "peep" as we've named it eating/drinking normally. No discharge around the eyes/nose/mouth. Vent is clear. It seems to spend all it's time...
