    Blue Australorp vs Black Australorp Personality?

    I was wondering on if anyone has experience with blue australorp personalities. I adore black australorps but wasn't sure if the blues focused more on color than personality. I'd love to hear yalls opinion on blue australorp behavior.

    Multiple spots of bloody poo overnight

    My 10-12wk chicks had a couple of bloody stool spots in their bedding this morning. This is the first time I've seen them poop like this. I've seen chicks shed intestinal lining, but I don't typically see it in multiple spots. Should I start treating for cocci? Everyone was acting fine but I...

    Only one hen laying soft shell eggs

    I have been seeing a soft shell egg many days when collecting my eggs. I've started to pin down who is laying them and I believe it is one of my buff orphingtons. All the other hens are laying normal eggs. They are on layer feed and there is a bowl of oyster shell in the coop. What can I do?

    Grey and white mystery chick

    I got this chick from tsc 2 weeks ago with an injured leg. Since they just gave her to me I had no clue what she was. I had been thinking sapphire gem but I noticed barring was coming in on the wings so I looked at the comb and it appears to be a rose comb? What type of chick is this?

    Orange vent skin

    Hello, while checking my chickens I noticed that one of my pullets vent has orange skin. She's the only one I have seen with this color skin, her face is a normal red. She's an easter egger (sold as amerucana at TSC), if that explains anything. Her EE sister and all the other hens have the...

    Providing Clean and Safe Water

    Hello, I've tried a few different things for water. I have had luck with DIY buckets with nipples on it, but noticed the buckets were green at the end of the summer. I have used the water jug types that use gravity, but those are also plastic and tend to get slimy. I've had most luck with the...

    What is this?? 8 weeks, breed and sex guesses

    This was sold to me as a frizzle cochin bantam. It seems larger than my non frizzle cochin bantam at 8 weeks and it's feet aren't as fully covered. Any guesses on breed or possibly mix? Seller was also selling cochin/silkie cockerels around the same age. Also hen or roo guesses appreciated.
