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.
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...
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?
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?
I have two broody hens currently. One has been broody for a month. I keep pulling her off the nest multiple times a day but she not giving up. The other has been at it for a little over a week. I think at this point I need to put them in a dog kennel with food and water. Could I put them both in...
I have this little clean legged white chick I got from tsc assorted bantams about 1.5 weeks ago. I thought she was a white oegb, but she is getting some grey on the wings. Is she an OEGB and what color?
I noticed today that one of my 1 week old chicks has a swollen bottom and what feels like at least 2 hard masses in that area. The chick acts completely fine, one of the more energetic ones even. I believe it is a cochin bantam frizzle
The feathers in the photos are messed up because I soaked...
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...
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...
Let's see everyone's guesses at 14 weeks. I'm also not sure about breed other than it having frizzle gene. Most importantly, do yall think it's a hen or roo?
One of my pullets was gasping after eating, she kept running from me so I gave her a few minutes and she was still gasping. I felt like she needed to get water so I finally caught her. When I looked in her mouth there was just a glob of food blocking practically everything. I gently massaged her...
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.
