We had a mama hatch this check. Mama was a Marans and dad is an Easter egger. I haven’t paid attention too much to my chickens feet and thought hers looked different!
Also- pullet or roo??
Hatched April 6th
Is this heat stroke?? 2nd chicken today. We reached 100° temps.
Crop is fine, no mites, just lethargic, won’t eat or drink, won’t stand, and I’m not sure if this liquid is coming out the vent or mouth. I’ve been syringing water and electrolytes into her.
I received my chicks today and noticed this one has a janky eye. She doesn’t move a whole lot so I can’t tell if she’s just a sleepy baby or maybe hurt. She pooped so I believe she’s eating/drinking.
I did email the company I received them from, but wondering if anyone has seen this and if they...
I have 20 laying hens almost 7 months old. Great layers but I haven’t gotten a single egg in a week. No changes in feed, they free range, water is endless. We did have a week of over 100+ degrees outside and they stopped laying shortly after. Could it be the heat? In the middle of the heatwave...
My girls are a little over 18 weeks now. Some of their combs and waddles have gotten really red here lately but not swollen, and I noticed one of my Anconas had made a small hole in the ground and seemed to be nesting in it. Is that a sign it may be soon? After almost 5 months of raising them...
I noticed yesterday evening my two 16 week old Marans had HUGE crops. My husband let them out to free range yesterday and when I looked back at the camera that faces the coop I noticed some chickens were up under trees that have long grass.
This morning, the crops were not as big as last night...
She’s mean as hell. Always runs up to me to peck me every chance she gets. She’s gotten more red the last week but nothing else screams rooster. But I’m also a new chicken owner so I don’t know anything. She’s a 10 week old Golden Cuckoo named Goldie Hawn.
I need insight on what’s wrong with my girl. Impacted crop? No sour smell. What should I do?? I also posted a pic of her toe a while back because I thought it was bumble foot but no scabs or any sign of a laceration on it anywhere. She was drinking water this morning. Please tell me how I can...
I have a few splash Marans that are feather legged but wondering if she’s the same, just clean legged? Her legs are so much lighter than all my other chickens. 8 weeks old from Pet chicken rare assortment.
8 weeks old on Monday. I think lavender Orpington but I’m new at this. I noticed the tail feathers seems different shaped than the others but I’m not really sure so trying to guess if pullet or cockerel. Supposed to all be pullets
I just noticed these black spots last night.
Shes 7 weeks and she’s been one that hasn’t been very social and runs from me so it’s possible I just never noticed. They’re not raised. Not a scab. Just black scales. Could this just be her normal coloring or should I be concerned it’s something...
This chicken I noticed has a super swollen toe. She’s still moving around but definitely not as much. She seems to want to lay down, move a bit, then lay down again. Is it bumblefoot? How should I treat this?? She is 7 weeks old today and such a sweet lady.
I was able to figure out the Ancona’s and Lavender orpingtons, but need help with these.
1. Has a speckled look to her but has light feathered feet.
2. Orange clean feet, my thought was welsummer or Wyandotte. The marking on her face is my favorite.
3. Slate feathered feet, small amounts of...
