    Are these chicks from a breeder less heathy?

    Hi everyone, Sorry so long- I am a little over 2 years in chicken-keeping. The first year and a half I have purchased many bantam TSC chicks and day-old from mail order, My Pet Chicken. Out of probably 40 chicks, I only lost one on day 2. So a pretty good track record. I never even thought...

    Is it humane to cull in this situation?

    Hi all. I am devastated to ask this. I have a silkie who has had a prolapse for over two months. She is in with the flock and no one is messing with her. She seems to be just dealing with it.

    Not just a TSC Golden Sebright ?? Maybe?

    This will be the 4th time I have bought a group of chicks at TSC on a whim and am swayed by the cuteness of a baby Golden Sebright 😂But now I have 2 adult GS hens and don’t need or want another. They aren’t my favorite breed; smart but not very friendly imo. So I thought this chick was a OEG...

    Bantam Gapeworm or something else

    Hi everyone- I tried to diagnose this on my own based on past threads but coming up empty. Bantam hen started “gaping” with closing eyes and a little head shaking. I isolated her, and she isn’t improving but isn’t worsening. All I have given her is electrolytes, ACV, and grit with food. She is...

    Sad puffed bantam

    My porcelain bantam is lethargic and just sitting by herself and closing her eyes. She did eat and drink when I first let the flock out. Everyone is leaving her alone. What should I do?? Pictures really show what is going on

    Please someone make my night - Pullet??

    This 7 week old bantam is confusing me. The comb is there, but it’s yellowish but wattles are coming too. It would help if I knew the breed too. Only one I have like this. Sometimes it looks pink, but it’s yellow tinted. mottled Cochin bantam? Furriest feet I’ve ever seen. He/She is very...
