    Pendulous crop stool softener?

    Can I dose my chicken with non stimulant stool softener and yeast cream together? I’m really having issues with the chick and have only been able to improve but not clear her crop issue. How many days should I give her ducolax for ?

    18 wk Amerucana laying???

    So I noticed her poking around the nest box and sitting in it. Now she’s gone and laid her first blue egg at 18 weeks. I’ve never had a chicken lay that early and I figured not for a few months still because of the breed. is that bad? She is still growing and not at all full size.

    Was about to throw out egg and it peeped!

    Name for this color of Amerucana?

    Is this a buff wheaten rooster? He seems different from most of the buff wheaten roosters I find. I did however find some like him that people said was a buff wheaten with dominate white. Just wondering whatever he is I think he’s magnificent.

    Sexing week old Amerucana?

    I have 4 pure buff wheaten Amerucana chicks. Two have extremely puffy cheeks and two have less pronounced cheeks. They ones that have less cheek fluff seem to act like/stand like lil baby cockerels. I’m wondering if that is something established that male chicks will have different puffs?
