    Eye issue Pekin pullet

    This Pekin pullet is about 5 mths old. Ever since I purchased her she was very friendly, about a month after I got her I noticed she would close her eyes a lot. Over the last few weeks it’s obvious that she has an eye issue which is causing her to close her eyes. There are no other symptoms, she...

    Scaly skin on face and follicles

    Recently bought this bird and have had her quarantined. I’ve noticed she has a chalky substance on her feather follicles and on her face. Is it mites? Or something else? I’ve included photos of her legs as well. When I got her I bathed, wormed and lice treated her, about two weeks ago. I also...

    5 day old baby chick problem

    5 day old Pekin chicks being raised by mama. I noticed only today this little one has a large mass under throat/crop. It feels like air/fluid possibly. Bright otherwise, I’ve been watching to see if it eats or drinks but mama is being protective since I brought the chicks out for a quick once...

    Pick 2!

    Hello, it’s time to move on a rooster from my growing flock! I’d keep them all if I could. Thoughts on which two to keep? I have pet quality pekins - gold laced, buffs, white and black and have recently added a mottle hen.

    Advice please - suspected MG

    I purchased four new pekins a week ago and have kept them in a separate run (but along side another run) I have just noticed one hen appears to have some bubbles on one eye and is more lethargic than the others. She is eating. Suspect MG. So question is… Treat and wait for symptoms to go before...

    Is my Pekin hen sick?

    Silly question really, I think she is. She’s got a rattle and a bit of a cough. Eating well though. Back story, she was incredible ill in January, wasn’t eating or drinking. Wormed and gave her amprolium for suspected coccidiosis. After about 8 weeks she was better but not back to her old self...

    Pekin colour breeding chart

    Just wondering if there is a reference chart somewhere to give you an idea of what colours bred together will produce? I have a black hen of unknown background that I would like to put to a white cockerel. He’s from a millefleur x birchen.

    My name is Heidi and I think I’m a chook addict

    Hello, I live in SEQld. I’ve had chickens my whole life (my father bred and showed Australian Game and we had pet Aracauna bantams and silkies). I’ve recently started collecting pekins as I love their nature and my sons are enjoying them also. I acquired three hens from my mother, standard...
