Hello,
My 6 Month old Sebright cant walk. She was fine yesterday but today she just curls up and when trys to walk falls over to the side.
Could it be the cold? Sickness? She is the only one in the flock like this.
Any help appreciated!
We have a hen who is new too us, she came to us with 2 babies, her babies are now grown and she has started laying again up until last week.
I noticed when we got her that she had a bald belly area and it looked a bit swollen. But this seems like it is getting much larger?
Any ideas
Just wanted to post this little guy that we hatched.
Roo is an Ayam Cemani and mom was Colombian Rock.
We are pretty sure its a Rooster due to being barred.
Isnt he neat! Would love to see some Ayam Cemani crosses
Any breed guesses on this little guy? Mom that hatched it is an all black EE, and we are thinking maybe Cochin?
We got the mom and her babies off of someone and they have many different breeds in with her.
Sorry for the blurry pics, babes is camera shy haha
Hello,
I have 10 Ameracauas, all 11 weeks old...I had one rooster whose bum feathers seemed a bit caked with poop. I also noticed he wasnt moving around and that his comb became very pale.
We removed him from the coop to try to clean up his bum and while having him aside, he died.
Could this...
I have a mama hen with 2 babies, they are about 2-3 weeks old.
Mama has started roosting high up at night leaving the babies alone and they cry and cry...
She is super protective of them during the day but I worry they must be cold at night alone? Should I bring them in to the brooder? Will...
Hello!
I am new to the chicken world. But I have a 4 Year old Shepherd Husky, she is amazing and she listens so well, runs the property.
We recently got into chickens and I really want to get a few ducks as we have a huge pond.
It seems birds are my dogs weakness and she cannot contain...
I am new to raising chickens...
I have a White Leghorn who is sitting on her egg, but everytime I go in the coop she gets off... is this a broody hen? From what I have read it sounds like a broody hen wont get off the egg?
I dont want to take her egg away if she is broody... I dont believe her...
I have a mother (Amaraucana) sitting on two 3 day old chicks, I just brought home three 3 day old Sebright Bantams.
How could I go about surrogating them to the mom? Can I? How would I know if she was going to accept them or not?
Any advice! First time doing this
