So I come home to find my RIR hen laying on the floor panting and she couldn't stand. I took her in the house thinking she had heatstroke. So I cooled her down but I think she may have something else. I think the high was 78 degrees F. All the others were in shelter panting and did not want to...
Ok so There is a huge storm right now.. Raining nonstop, 70mi/h Winds. The coop is flooded. Chickens are shivering. One is dryish not soaked... But is all puffed up and won't really eat. If I put some food on the ground will will eat but won't eat with other chickens,out of my hand, or in feeder...

Im want to breed Bantam Cochins and Rosecombs for showing. Anyone know where I can get my hands on some??? I really want some Molted and some Golden laced B Cochins. How hard would it be to get some of those. Can these breeds be feather sexed? Can anyone post pics of some?
Ok, I have decided to breed buff leghorns (I love the buff color!) Anyone know where I can get my hands on some? Could anyone post pics? I have heard that buff is hard to breed cause grey or black wants to keep creeping in. What are the breed standards for showing?
Well I'm deciding if I should start this project and get my hands on good quality buff Ameraucana's and some good quality buff laced polish. If I attempt this would anyone be interested in this new color variety? Should I keep a crest on them or is it not in the breed? Would anyone be willing...
So, I'm taking on a new project... I love Ameraucanas ear muffs and beards... And I also love the buff coloring... And I love lacing!!! So, I have decided to take on a challenge. Breeding buff laced Ameraucanas! Any ideas on what birds to start with?
