    Whole buncha 7 week olds (Isbar, Wyandotte, Barnevelder)

    Since they are impossible to get still enough for a photo, here are the ones I could snap quickly. Anyone see any cockerels? These are my first Isbar and those are giving me quite the challenge!

    Beautiful Lavender Orpington Rooster Central MD

    2 years old and a wonderful protector. We lost 21 hens in 2018 before we got Gandalf. Since we’ve had him, we’ve never lost a hen to a hawk attack again. He’s huge, great with kids, cars, goats, cats, dogs, and all other humans. That being said, he would need large hens because he is so large...

    Is this mold?

    We had been giving the flock locally milled GMO free/antibiotic free feed but with the pandemic they had cut back supply and anyways, I got some at TSC instead. As I was dumping the Bag of food container into the Container, I saw a few chunks fall in the bottom but at the time (yesterday) it was...

    Do chicks that lie on their backs always die?

    Maybe a crazy conspiracy theory, but every chick I’ve ever had (either hatched here or shipped) that tends to lie on its back has always died less than a week old. is this just a symptom of deeper issues? seriously never had a chicken (out of hundreds) that’s ever thrived as a back sleeper.

    Weak leg after assisted hatch

    This RBLW had a really rough entrance into the world at 3am. It’s by far the smallest and having trouble with the left leg. During the assisted hatch, the leg was pinned against the chick and the right leg was out and kicking/pushing. Also, there was a tight band of membrane across the back of...

    Cleaning coconut oil off new chicks?

    I had to assist 6 hatches last night and 4 of the chicks required quite a bit of coconut oil to keep the membrane moist. Today they are slicked with oil still and I’m not sure if the down being fluffy would help with regulating temperature. All 4 are small and weak so I don’t want to harm them...

    Assisted hatching help?

    Today is 22 for this hatch and I had a few eggs that had not pipped so I candles first, saw movement so I decided to intervene. First scored the top where the air cell was, removed all of the hard shell from all three, found the beak and poked a small hole for them to breathe. Applied coconut...

    Is this Isabel or Lavender Orpington?

    Bought straight run in 2018 as a Lavender Orpington and I’ve always thought that’s what he was and all of a sudden someone on BYC said he’s an Isabel Orpington and so now I’m curious what everyone thinks of him. Here are a crap ton of pictures I took yesterday from all different angles he is...

    Are hawks and raccoons the only decapitators ?

    Actually now that I think about it, owls eat heads off as well. . . So wasteful. ANYWHO - a little over a week ago we had a nighttime attack, 3 chicks were maimed enough to be culled, 2 went completely missing and we found feathers about 50 yards away, near the base of the tree and 2...
