This morning I found one of our chickens was wheezing. Her comb had a slight purple tint and she rattles/gurgles when she breathes. She is walking around, eating, albeit not as active as she usually is.
This evening I checked on the chickens and now four of them are making similar sounds and...
I got two Cochins from a breeder who breeds blu, black and splash Cochins (among other breeds). I was told both are blue but I'm wondering if this one is actually a splash. He/she is about 10 weeks old.
I picked up this chick about four weeks ago from a breeder and was told this one along with one other are Lavender Orpingtons. Well, the Brahma she sold us apparently isn't a Brahma and now I'm questioning whether this is actually an Orpington at all. We've raised Buff Orps in the past and they...
Hi Everyone,
We picked up some chicks of various breeds from a local breeder four days ago. They all seemed fine and healthy to begin with but the second day we had a chick die. She was up and down for half a day and died overnight. We found her on her back in the brooder, lethargic, not eating...

He's slightly smaller than the full grown laying hens we...
Does anyone know where I could find a Partridge Chantecler breeder? I prefer to get live chicks but would be open to hatching eggs. I have done some searching and haven't been able to find anyone. Prefer not to order hatchery quality birds.
I was convinced this chick was a pullet until I came across an article on the internet about how to sex EE's. Now I'm not entirely sure. I recently got rid of a chick that was a very obvious roo and it was hard because he was my favorite. I wouldn't be upset about this chick though. She(he?) is...
We picked up half a dozen chicks almost three weeks ago so that's about how old they all are. This gal(?) Has me wondering though. Her comb is larger than any of the others and is starting to get a pink color to it. I can see some small wattles appearing but they aren't super obvious or...
