I have a Rooster, just under a year old, that had an upper respiratory infection about a month ago. He was treated with antibiotics for 2 weeks and it cleared up BUT he has a large knot on his face that won’t go away. Any ideas what it is and how to treat it?
Good Morning, I am located in Orange Virginia. I have several BLRW Cockrills for sale. I would not use any of these boys personally for breeding to SOP for BLRW but they will make beautiful backyard protectors and eye candy for a backyard flock! I have 3 9 week old straight comb Blue BLRW, I...
Ok, I need some help everyone. My husband went and got BLRW from TSC so we KNOW these are hatchery birds and will not come close to the standard everyone is working towards. We will sell them for pretty back yard laying hens and may keep a couple for ourselves to help replace some of our laying...
Hello All! I plan on breeding my GLW and BLRW this spring but I am new to breeding and hatching. I have done 1 hatch, which was a late hatch this past October but I did it under a broody hen. I will be breeding a trio of GLW and a trio of BLRW so I want to use incubators so I can hatch more...
I have 2 13 week old cockrills for sale, asking $7 each obo. Would like them to go to a home as part of your flock and not for a pot. I’m located in Orange Va. Please message me if interested.
Hello All,
so I had a late hatch in October and I now have 5 13 week old pullets/Cockrills in browsers still. They’re too big to be in there anymore but I’m worried that it’s too cold to put them outside. We’ve been getting below freezing temps here in VA and I don’t want them to die. Anyone...
Good Morning!
I am new to goats, just started this summer with my herd and all 6 are under a year old. Last night the temps dropped down to 26 degrees and our water frozen both goat pens. I am trying to find the best solution as running an electrical cord is not an option since my American...
Hello! I’m looking for a few goat experts. I am fairly new to goats and just started my herd this summer. I have 2 Bucklings (both will be 1 year old in Jan/Feb) 2 doelings (both will be 1 year old in May) and 2 wethers (both will be 1 year old in April). We had a really bad situation with worms...
Soooo I ended up with a broody BLRW about 3 weeks ago and I decided to let her sit on a few eggs. I made a major rookie mistake though. I did not mark the eggs under her and I did not check under her every day. I had marked on my calendar 21 days and we ended up with 1 chick that hatched on the...

Good Morning,
So I noticed one of my pullets has one eye closed the other day. When she opened it it was slightly watery and had some air bubbles. Google I went and I came up with a potential URI. I tried to call my vet but of course no one was there. Fast forward to this morning, I now have 3...
Hello! Looking for some insight and advice on what I think are scurs on my Buckling my husband brought home today. He was born January 10th so he’s a little over 5 months old. We are new to goats and I didn’t go with my husband and we had not seen him in person before. Anyways my husband got...
so I’m a new chicken mama. My oldest are 12 weeks now and my youngest are 8 weeks. I currently have 2 coops with 1 big run that can be separated which is what I have set up right now as I moved the younger chickens out to the coop about a week ago to integrate them with my older chickens. I...
i was moving my 7 week old chicks out to the coop from their brooder today and my splash blrw was a fluid sac on her chest. I am new to chickens and have never seen this before. I am not sure what a crop is or a sour crop but trying to do research that kept coming up. It is a squishy mass and I...
ok, so I’ve started to notice a difference in waddle and tail feathers in my two buff orpington pullets....are they both pullets or do I have a cockerel? They are 11 weeks old now...
The one has a tail that sticks up and her waddles are bigger than the other one who’s tail is down and has...
hello all! I got rooster dumped :thwhen I tried to get an all white EE pullet for my 4 year old (he is adamant that is what he wants) any-who Snowy ended up being a Mr. Snow. He is starting to show some minor black leakage in his feathers but is 99% white as of right now. He’s 6 weeks old and...
i purchased 3 BLRW chicks from a breeder. I thought I had gotten 1 splash and 2 blue. They are now 4 weeks old and I am not sure, the splash maybe is a blue and the 2 blues maybe black? Any experts out there want to weigh in?:idunno
so I just got into chickens and I’m pretty sure this rookie got taken! My 4 year old son wants a white chicken that lays green eggs. They exist, they’re called Snowy Easter Eggers and My Pet chicken carries them but I am not paying that much money for 1 chicken. I found someone selling Easter...
Hello! Is anyone able to post examples of good lacing, great lacing and poor lacing on wyandottes? I have glw and blrw chicks. The glw came from tractor supply so I probably won’t get any great lacing out of them based on what I’ve read but maybe I’ll get some good lacing, but my blrw came from...
