One of my 4 week old BCM chicks has this strange beak growth on her bottom beak I just noticed a couple days ago.
She eats and drinks and it isn’t bleeding but it looks strange. The nostril was shut when I first discovered it so I soaked it with Vetericyn to clean it out. Everyday I have...
Hello BYC crew,
I have this 11 week old Barnvelder “pullet” that is starting to look a little red in the comb and acts dominant towards the other pullets. I’m hoping I’m wrong, and she might just be bossy but it looks like Barnvelders are difficult to sex until they lay or crow. Any experts out...

Now I have found one a home and I want your opinions again before I give them away.
1. Do you think...

These two Easter eggers were straight runs from Tractor Supply, 6 weeks old today. The first photo is one I think is a pullet but it’s head is much whiter than it’s body.
Photo two (and three) has acted like a roo since day one, with stink eye, puffed chest...
