This little one is the meanest chicken I have, naturally of course. I’ve been calling it Tim, saying “he,” but honestly I have no idea if I’m right. 6 months old. Can anybody tell if this is a Tim or Timantha?
My hen was on day 20 of sitting on 10 eggs. I was smelled something awful, like death awful. I got her up and lo and behold there was a crushed egg with an almost fully developed baby under her.
I had to remove that, naturally.
Unfortunately, I think she thought that baby was okay because...
I promise I’ve looked at all the guides, online comparisons, and I STILL can’t tell if this is bloody poop from cocci or something else.
Confirming that this is blood before starting treatment?
I was hesitant at first because it seems like it’s chunks of something instead of blood, but this...
I’ve watched these orange/gray babies for months, hoping one day I’ll be able to easily identify them. This has not been the case. They came from Rural King, so Hoovers Hatchery, in an unlabeled bin. They were small and brown when babies. Both are the same color, with one being maybe a tad...
I just came across a comment that said Easter Eggers with copper on their wings are cockerel specific.
I’ve been watching this white one, thinking it’s a little man for a while, but I haven’t been too sure because I am not sure of the breed 100% because I have another definite EE because of...
Backstory: I got a bantam pair from a swap (after saying I’d never do that). Three days later I noticed the rooster was sneezing/or coughing, lightly gasping periodically, and had foam coming from his beak. I’ve been giving him tiagard for a week to no resolve, he still sneezes/coughs and...
Does anybody want to help guess some chicken breeds? Just over 6 weeks old.
From RK, most were unlabeled. Options they should have had:
Welsummer
Cream legbar
Welbar
Easter or Olive Egger
Barred Rock
Black Australorp
Silver Laced Wyandotte
Cinnamon Queen
And then there are definitely some...
My bantam roo has a slight respiratory infection. He’s still eating and drinking, so nothing has taken a turn too badly yet. No eye swelling or leakage, just mucus mouth and cough/sneezes.
Tylan 50 is out of stock. I have amoxicillin and can purchase tiagard. Which would be better to treat with?
Hi,
About 6 days ago I went to a local swap and got a Japanese bantam pair. I love them so!
I went out tonight to close their coop off, and my rooster was just sitting on the top of the coop. He was very docile and I noticed he had a bit of foam on the sides of his mouth. I brought him in to...
I got this girl (along with my other first-time chickens) around a month ago. Off and on I’ve noticed her have a really dirty behind, but I always say I’ll give it a couple days because she’s acting completely fine. She’s a buff Orpington, around 1 year old, as far as I know she is laying. I...
