    Salmon Faverolles chicks breed and gender?

    I got these chicks at my local feed store a few weeks ago. They had a major malfunction when labeling the breeds and long story short I got a couple different breeds than what I asked for and what they were labeled as. I decided to get some Salmon Faverolles because they had some and they were...

    Feed store mixed up breeds and I’m not sure what breed my chicks actually are

    I was at Tractor Supply about two weeks ago and got some chicks. Our Tractor Supply has a big fully enclosed dog kennel surrounding the chick bins. You can’t really see what’s in the bins well because on two sides they have merchandise shelves right up against it and on the third side they have...

    Coccidiosis growth stunt, will this affect the breeding quality of a bird?

    I had a couple of sapphire gem chicks that fell ill with coccidiosis when they were around 7 weeks old. Not all the chicks in the flock got sick because we separated them after we found out what was going on and after we nursed the last sick one back to health we introduced him back into the...

    What breed is my rooster? (pics included)

    I recently adopted a trio of two hens and a rooster to help with some competition issues in my flock. I was in desperate need as my RIRs (go figure) were bullying my two Barred Rocks out of the flock and I read that a rooster might be the solution. We planned on adding one anyway but this was...
