    What breed are these chicks from TSC?

    Without going into a lot of detail, I’ve always had a hard time with TSC chicks. From wrong genders (7 out of 8 “pullets” were roo’s) to sick and dying chicks. Told myself I was no longer going to buy chicks from them, but couldnt say no to them when I went in for gardening supplies. I am...

    Is my hen egg bound? Or is something else wrong?

    Hi all, I have a hen that has been “off” the past 3-4 weeks. Her comb/wattles are occasionally pale. I’ve picked her up and looked her over and there isn’t any obvious physical defects and I can’t palpate anything. Her stools are normal from what I’ve seen. I haven’t seen any bullying going on...

    Is the poo normal?

    Hi all, for the past week I’ve noticed some yellow poop coming from my flock. I did do a food change roughly 2-3 weeks ago, to Poulin’s Grain Organic Grower Pellets and they were previously on a chick crumble. I noticed a week ago it was thick and gelatinous almost, and now it appears thinner...

    What breed are my chicks?

    Got these guys from TSC yesterday. Supposedly they are Prairie Bluebell Eggers but no one at the store could identify the different chicks, and they were all mixed in stock tanks. Off the top of my head the breeds they did have in store were BO's, Barred Rocks, Cornish meat birds, the Prairie...

    3 week old BO cockerels?

    Whats my age and gender?

    Hi all! Got this Americauna at TSC roughly 4 weeks ago, at time of purchase they were unsure of the age. She’s got nearly all the feathering in her head except for some left over down.
