    Torn crop

    I keep my new chicks outside in kennels after being fully feathered to integrate with the rest of the flock. I noticed this one yesterday acting funny and came home to this today. This is where I’m at now. I’ve been spraying with vetericyn as I go. Can I try to make a fabric bandaid strip to...

    8 week Brahmas?

    These are RK pullets… or are supposed to be 😂 they were sold as buff Brahma pullets and they all looked the same when I got them but now that they’re feathered there’s obvious differences. Are they still all considered buff Brahma? Also, is the one with the red comb a roo?

    Weird wing on baby chick!

    Hello! I have a baby Brahma with a weird wing. It didn’t show sings of discomfort when inspecting it and it can move it. Could this be just a growth deformity? Or something else? I just want to make sure it doesn’t affect its quality of life. Chick is less than a week old
