I know this topic has been discussed a thousand times but starting a fresh so I have all the required info in one place
I have a group of 8 turkeys (2m6f) about three years old. Living next door to but not directly with chickens.
Lost one stag last week. Lethargic. Green poo. Now another stag...
Hi,
Would a cream legbar hen x black Orpington too produce sex linked EEs?
How about a cuckoo maran hen x jubilee Orpington roo for black sex links?
Am I right?
Hi all
I hatched a bunch of eggs from my CLB hen x Orp Roo (either black or Jubilee).
The chicks all look similar. Who is in agreement there's a clear sex divide here or am I being too hasty? Always appreciate a second opinion.
Hen left, boy centre and right.
That'd give me 5m:2f!
Thanks
I've got around 16 growers at 3 months old. The majority have a comb like the one pictured. A couple don't. They're all crosses and could have leghorn in them (big combs). Is it time to cull and move on or might there be something else going on?? Obviously don't want to cull if there's a chance...
Hi
If I house a cuckoo maran hen in my Silkie pen (which has one red roo and one white roo) or in my Jubilee Orp pen (with a jubilee orp roo) would the chicks sex link or would the white Silkie boy ruin this?
Thanks
Hi all
I have a black orp breeding group (10f2m) and their eggs are all consistently cream coloured.
I also have two olive egger girls and one cream leg bar (blue) girl in the same pen - obviously I can identify these eggs separately to the Orpington eggs.
If I hatched olive x cream or blue...
After an Epsom salt bath, and then lots of squeezing and manipulating, we got this out of my hens foot. Is it the kernel from bumblefoot? She has the characteristic black scab before we started
The pic shows what feels like a rock hard lump of grissle!!
Hi all
I came into possession of 6 black orps on 22 July. They're all aged 2-3 years according to the owner. On day 1, I had 2 eggs - but have had nothing since.
They've got access to a 20ft x 10ft run, with some greenery, and unlimited layers. It's hard to tell if they're moulting or just...
Hello
Some people say 100% hens, others not so sure... No eggs yet... No crow yet... 6 months old! I am soooooo intrigued.
It doesn't matter either way - I just want to know for sure!

Hi
I have a spare coop : https://www.eggshellonline.co.uk/product/windsor-xxl-8ft-fox-proof-chicken-coop
I have agreed to take an Orpington cockerel from a friend who can no longer keep him and would otherwise need to cull. He's 4.
I am happy to take him and allow him to live with 2 of my...
Hi
I've got six 2-3 week old chicks displaying the following smptoms:
Head shaking
Gasping repeatedly
Sneezing every few seconds
I moved them into a warmer room as someone said it could be brooder pneumonia. They still have their heat plate.
They've been treated with Tylan, plus...
