    Broken Beak, Splitting Down The Middle

    So at some point my hen cracked her beak on something causing it to split in the middle. Her beak was really long (which is weird because she's really active and scratches a lot which should grind it down to a normal length) so I trimmed it slightly and filed a little on the rough edges so it...

    Snotty Sounding Roosters

    I recently got two silkie roosters and noticed they sound a little snotty. One of them sneezes a lot but other than that is fine (he was acting fine at the breeder's place). The other roo acts perfectly healthy but after catching him (he runs a lot, hates being caught lol) he sounds like he has...

    Is he safe to use for breeding? & quick wheaten color question

    Sorry this is a bit long. I have a young silkie cockerel with a minor deformity. He has a finger on his wing, I'm aware chickens often have nails but he has a small finger like growth with feathers growing around it, almost like a separate joint. I first noticed it not long after he was moved...

    Thoughts on this cockerel's color?

    This cockerel was hatched sometime in the beginning of November. At first I thought it was a pullet because he feathered in like a female wheaten with a slightly darker tint. His comb never pinkened until recently either. About two weeks ago I was looking at the juveniles and noticed that there...

    Will it be completely blue as an adult?

    I've been told it'll be completely blue when it's older but I wanted to ask about it here since it has more white than the average penguin colored chick (and I'm still learning chicken genes). You can see the wing feathers in the white patch all growing in white at the moment, although the...

    Platinum or Something Else?

    I recently hatched these two chicks out and was not expecting the chicks to be these colors. Her past chicks have all been duckwing and wheaten variants but she's been in with a different rooster for a while now. The photos of the parents will be a bit muddy since they've been out foraging. I...

    Chick with deformed toe, can I correct it?

    This chick hatched yesterday after being helped out since it got stuck to it's shell. It hatched out with the toe like this, I waited until today to get pictures to give it a chance to fluff up and heal it's yolk sac a bit. The toe appears to be folded under the foot. I haven't ever had a chick...

    How do you wrap duck feet for bumblefoot?

    One of my drakes has bumblefoot on both feet and I couldn't find a guide on here for how to wrap his feet which I need to know before I fix his bumblefoot. Is there a guide on here someone could send the link to?

    Watery Eyes in My Juvenile Chickens

    Sorry if I wrote a lot but I'm trying my best to describe it. These two have had eye wateriness since about a week after hatching. They hatched out sometime in April or May. The stall their hen hatched them in was very dusty and the first signs of problems were eye wateriness and facial...
