In less than 3 weeks I’ve lost 5 chicks and I have no clue what’s happening with them. Some of them are completely fine until they suddenly die or others have been acting lethargic until they share the same fate. They’re poops look normal but because they’re with a hen it’s hard to look for any...
I purchased three silkies from a neighbor about 5 weeks ago and was wondering if they are pullets. I know they are slow to sex but the black one is the youngest of the three and I’m questioning if it could be a boy. Any guesses? It’s my first time with this breed.
I have 3 light Brahma I purchased about 5 weeks ago. The darker one has less feathers than the others and has a darker comb. That’s a boy right? But the other two have similar color combs but I’m not too sure. Are they both girls? They’re about 5-6 weeks although #2 might be a bit older
I bought these chicks a few weeks ago and should be about the same age(around 6 weeks). I noticed some of the chicks are already getting quite red combs. Are those the boys? I know some might be too young to tell but appreciate any guesses to what they might be. Does anyone know what breeds...
I got these chicks yesterday and they should be about a week old and one of my polish has a very red comb. Is that normal for it to be so red at that age? Please tell me it’s not a roo😭
So before she had like bumblefoot with a large bump between her toes that looked similar but was similar tone to her toes. I removed the bumble/core and drained the wound and bandaged her right up until two days later it seemed to fill back up except it’s now purple and it might had come back...
My cinnamon queen has been limping since last week. It originally wasn’t a serious limp, just walking a bit lame and had a bit of green discoloration between the side of her foot near her three toes but that only lasted for about 3 days with I assumed she was getting better. Although this...
I noticed in the coop this morning there seems to be blood on the poop from one of my hens. And is it normal for that one poop to be that orange? Is this something to be concerned about?
One of our broody hens was able to hatch out two blue laced red wyandottes and wanted to know the gender of the two babies. There about 5-6 weeks old.
The first two pictures are the one I believe might be a cockerel but the second one and not entirely sure.
Please help! 😭 I have a 10-11 week old cinnamon queen pullet who ended up with a big open wound on the side of her neck yesterday. I’ve given her povidone iodine twice a day but I’m not sure if that’s enough. Anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
We got these light brahmas a week ago and the previous owner said their 5 months old? But the male is barely growing saddle feathers and both are still look pretty small for their age. Thoughts? :D
I got this chick at my local feed store and it’s supposed to be a female Cinnamon Queen but I’m having doubts. I think it might be a cockerel. Any thoughts?
Their about 2 months (8 weeks).
