    Sick girl help

    Hello all! I have an 8 month old Blue Copper Maran who has been a little off the last 3 days or so. Kind of foraging, kind of self isolating. Just not as active and perky and not eager to eat treats. She has had clear watery poop since this has started and has not been laying. She has been...

    Integration Questions

    I have slowly been integrating a new flock of 8 to my original 7. The older 7 are 6 months old, the younger 8 are 12 weeks. They started separate but seeing, now we are all in the same space all day and i have been getting them all used to being in the coop at night together. My question is...

    Hen not eating or drinking

    I have a 6 month old Black Australorp female who has been acting off the last few days. Today when I let them out she kept having some clear discharge and ended up laying a soft shell egg that had ruptured. She isn’t interested in food or water. I am in Florida and we have had record heat. What...

    Breed and gender thoughts?

    Got these as two day old chicks, all sexed as female and are now just over 5 weeks. I thought they sent me 3 black stars but this one has light feet and my other black stars have dark gray feet and this one has a ton of gold. The others the gold is not nearly as prominent. It was solid black...

    Roo or hen?

    17 week old Welbar. Sexed as female. No spurs or crowing yet but “she” is very vocal with other noises. Today i noticed her being kind of a bully to others but not sure if its just hormones as they should start laying soon. Anyone have any thoughts? We can’t have roosters here. “She” has also...

    Breed thoughts?

    Pretty sure the one on the left is a Black Star as i’ve had one before and also ordered one this time. I’m more unsure of the other, which appears to be more brown in the face and has a different beak. Any ideas? I ordered a female rainbow mix that are not breed specific so it’s a guessing game. Ty!

    Just got an unexpected delivery of chicks. Long story short I ordered a black sexlink, a barred rock, and 5 of a rainbow assortment. Cancelled the order in feb and got my money.

    Treating Diarrhea

    I have been treating 7 pullets for coccidiosis with Corid liquid. We lost one very quickly about a week ago after I found a significant bloody stool in the coop one morning. We went the last three days without seeing any bloody stool so I was hoping that was behind us. Today there was a tiny...

Anyway I found mystery blood on a roosting bar this morning that wasn’t there yesterday. There was also some on the floor but the...

One of my SLW still has small wings, no tail feathers, and still basically covered in down except the short wing feathers. Any way to tell if its a cockerel or just a...
