I have 12 4 month old chickens that I keep seperate from my older chickens. Pretty much in a huge coop of their own. Anyway two days ago I noticed my 4 month old golden laced chochin cokeral had swollen feet and was walking primarily on the back of his hocks all tipsy. My first thought was very...
Hey, I have 4 chochin male chicks that I’m selling for $2 per chick. I have two golden laced, one splash, and the odd ball is one barred rock bantam. I want them to go to good homes. Ideally used for show birds or breeding stock. If you are worried about aggression in them when they get older...
Hey, I have 17 4 week old chicks , but I’ve been able to discover the gender (more then likely hen or roo etc) of all but 6 chicks. I have 3 bantams that I have no clue what they are, and I have 3 barred chochins but I don’t know their gender. (Also gender suggestions in the bantams would be...
How does one tell the gender of 3 week old large fowl chochins and some random bantams. I have 17 chicks or else I would post pictures. I just want to make sure I keep hens and give people that want only hens, hens. Thanks for the help. I’m pretty clueless with this stuff
I have a 2 year old partridge rock that seemed this fine. This morning I was feeding the chickens and I noticed she seemed to be wet by her breast and crop area. Upon closer examination I realized that she had lost lots of feathers by her crop and it is huge and squishy. Not to mention that the...
I ordered some chicks from a hatchery and they all arrived healthy and happy. On their first night everyone was eating and drinking;plus, there was no pasty butt. However, that night one chick of nineteen passed away. The chick was completely healthy and I can not figure out what happened. Now I...
I’m on day 14 of my hatch, and I have 6 eggs set. 5 of them are doing great, but there is one egg that appears very oddly and seems to have two air cells? Here are some pics I took of candling. Should I through the egg out? Thanks in advance.
I have a Chochin cockerel, and I live northwest Montana! We have quite a bit of snow here, but I put my rooster in a heated coop every night and during cold days. I don’t think it is frostbite, but he seems completely healthy. I’m just worried about the sudden odd appearance of this weird...
Im looking for a show quality Black Chochin Roo! I live in Bigfork MT and can travel around in MT and maybe do some out of states depending on your location, thanks.
I just went out to let the ladies free range when I realized my chochin was throwing up she is under weight for that breed of bird, about 5 pounds they eat country companion layer feed with black oil sunflowers at times, I just noticed this and I don’t think she’s lathargic! Thanks I’m advanced!
Hello everyone!
While doing my daily checkup on my chickens I noticed that my two year old light blue Andalusian hen had a weird spot of matted down feathers on her head! Thanks for the help! Also she gets pecked on by others chickens because she is a bully that gets bullied! Lol
I bought four new chicks this year, 2 are speckles, and the other 2 are partridge rocks here are pictures, I'm pretty positive one of the speckles is a roo!
I bought four new chicks this year and two are Speckled Sussexes but the other two I'm not sure, I think they are some type of game partridge show birds? Any ideas?
My friendliest chicken who is a Light Blue Andulusion two year old has started attacking me. She had always let me pick her up but now when she sees me she puffs up and charges at me trying to bite me. The only time she settles down is during feeding time! Any ideas on how to get her back to normal?
All my chickens were just fine and healthy, but then I noticed one of my chickens was limping! Thinking it might be bumblefoot I soaked her foot in warm epson salt water then I put honey on her foot as well. I thought she would be fine and heal well but now she can barely put her foot on the...
