I have 2 (3/4) silkie chicks, I was previously convinced they're both pullets but they have started trying to fight my roosters now I'm worried might be cockerels after all.
My chickens have all been losing feathers so I got worried and looked at their heads and found what I believe is lice, my neighbour recommended diatomaceous earth but I've read its not effective, any recommendations for what to use?
I have 6 chicks, all 8 weeks old, 4 are half silkies and two of them are 3/4 silkies. Any guesses on their genders?
1. i think male???
2. Also male???
3. 3/4 silkie chick
4. I think it's a pullet
5. Also believe this one is a pullet
6. Other 3/4 silkie
Hello! I've got two 12 week old half silkies and I'm having a bit of a hard time telling which gender they are. I've heard that you can tell which gender based of skin colour but I'm not too sure if that's reliable, any help with determining the genders would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! I've got 2 muscovy ducklings, both 8 weeks old and have been told I should be able to tell the gender by now, I've never looked after muscovy ducks before and can't find any help online. I've attached an image of each of them, any help is greatly appreciated!
I have 5 roosters and they all have recently gotten black spots all over their faces and crests, one has also recently passed away, I don't have a clue what this is caused by or if it could be a disease and an issue to the rest on my flock. If any one has any ideas please help me out! I have...
I have one half silkie which is 10 weeks old and I have been trying to tell what gender it is, I think it might be a male but other opinions are greatly appreciated!
(If necessary I can post photos of the parents aswell)
I have asked about these chicks on here before when they were younger but got a bunch of different awnsers, on if they're male or female, so I thought I would try again since they're older now! Any help is greatly appreciated🙂
I have a half silkie chick which is 3 weeks old, I think it might be too young to tell but I am hoping I can get some advice, and how to know in the next few weeks, as I already have way too many roos 😂
I have a few 8 week old chicks and as of yet I am only sure that 2 of them are cockerels, I am hoping by posting images here I could be given some help to know which others are boys as I don't have space for lots of cockerels, attached are photos ,not the best quality unfortunately,of 7 of the...
I bought this chicken back in December after being told it was a female but recently it has been acting like a male chicken. I would really like some people opinion on this as i already have multiple roosters and this would be a mess, thanks!
I have given my chickens oxytetracycline ( oxitevall polvo) and only realised after that it only lists withdrawal time for meat chickens does anyone know when eggs are safe to eat? Thanks!
My flock of chickens have all been sneezing coughing etc for about 2 months now, I have noticed my cockerels face swelling up. About a week ago I put them all on oxytetracycline to try and help and all my hens are better but my cockerel is only getting worse. The mass by his eye is soft to the...
My chickens have all been sneezing and breathing funny for the last month but today when I went to see them I noticed my cockerels face is swollen his nostrils are bleeding and his eye is really foamy and is unable to blink. I don't have a clue what is wrong with him and am very worried for him...
I've got a 4 month old chicken and over the past few days the rooster has been attacking her and I didn't know why, yesterday I found her laying on her side in the grass and thought she was dead but luckily she wasn't. I've bought her inside my house to keep her warm, but she won't est and is...
I've been raising 4 chicks and they all have fowl pox on their eyes, but since yesterday one of them has had scabs on both of their eyes and is barely eating and drinking, is there any way to clear up the eyes and scabs rapidly as I'm afraid it might die. Thanks!
I've been raising some chicks for the first time and has been going well until one of them developed a wierd lump on its eye, I think it might have been attacked and if so is there any advice on how I can help heal it so it doesn't get infected? Thanks!
Recently my hen has had chicks and has been slowly abandoning all of them, at first I thought it was because she was a bad mother but now I'm wondering if they have a disease or are ill. I've been looking after them in my house but my most recent one has a large dark scab on its face and I have...
