    Looking for breed of 8 week old chick

    I bought this chick about 8 weeks ago. It was in a bin with others like it that also had black/white chicks that I do not remember if they were australorp or barred rock. This chick was completely white at the time and has since become a nice buff color. I cannot find any info on a breed that...

    Have to wait 6 months to see a neurologist???

    Wow. My DD went to her doctor about a month ago because she was having difficulties with headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness, lightheaded, and a list of other things. They sent her for tons of blood work (which came back ok, but most of her levels were on the lowest end of normal) and referred...

    Uh oh. Do I have a sneaky cockeral?

    I happened to be looking at the 6 bantams we have earlier today when I noticed that this one wasn't exactly like the other. I thought I had 2 silver sebright pullets, but is it me or is there hackle and saddle feathers on this one? I noticed that this one is a tad bit bigger than the other as...

    Why is pullet grabbing roo by the wattles?

    I have a roo that is getting his wattles grabbed by one of my pullets. We have him separated from the girls for most of the day and then let him in with them for a few hours before they all get put away for the night. This afternoon after putting him in with them, I watched as one of the NH...

    95% sure of my suspicion-confirmation of roo?

    This is supposed to be an araucana pullet, but I'm thinking she is looking a bit boyish. (S)he is about 8 weeks old. I bought 2 at TSC and the lady swore they were sexed pullets and not straight run. I kind of had my doubts and am now thinking I was right. The other araucana I bought doesn't...

    What exactly is my roo doing?

    Ok, I have a 15 week old RIR roo and yesterday when I let everyone out, he started to do something that he never did before. He was the first one out and as the ladies started to come out, he randomly started biting a few. He did this to about 4 of the 18 ladies. He would kind of run up to...

    Update: baby deer now in proper hands

    Help! My kids were on the back of our property and came across a baby deer. They found various deer body parts near him so I assume his mother is dead. My kids have wrapped him in a blanket and have been giving him Vitamin D milk. I don't know what to do with the little guy. Does anyone...

    Chick attacking new addition-what to do?

    I got 6 new chicks today. 2 BO, 2 SLW, and 2 araucana. The BOs & SLWs are @ 2 weeks old and the araucanas are a few days old. I got them home and put them in with my new chicks from last week that are 1-2 weeks old and everything was fine. However, a few hours later, I noticed one of my OEGB...

    OEGB chick found under brooder keeps shaking head

    I went down to do my night time check and found one of my week old chicks had somehow gotten out of the brooder and was under the brooder table. I don't know how long she was down there, but she was really cold and covered in dust when my daughter got her out from under it. We immediately...

    My resolve crumbled and I was bad today...new chicks!

    I've been thinking of adding 6 more chicks lately and had been holding off because my DH said we had enough. We have 19 8wk old chicks and I was thinking 25 sounded like a good number since I am having such a blast with the others. So today I went to a nearby tsc hoping they had gotten in some...

    Possible breeds of 4 6wk old chicks

    Of my 19 chicks, these 4 have me wondering as to their breed. Every time I think I know, I see a photo of another chick that makes me unsure. They all came from a 'special sale' bin at TSC when they got their newest chicks and were mixed with all the different breeds of week old chicks. I...

    6wk chick eye problem-possible infection or mg?

    This is my 6 week old chick, Crybaby. Earlier this morning, I noticed her right eye looked different. Kind of glossy and slightly bigger than the other eye. My thinking at the time was that maybe she had her eye accidentally pecked by one of the others. I moved her to a small dog crate and...

    Tough love or all hugs

    This may seem like an odd thing to ask, but what should I do about one of my chicks that will not stop 'crying' until I give her attention? She's 4 weeks old and I'm not sure what breed though I suspect New Hampshire. She's the loudest of the chicks and has earned the name Crybaby. She's in a...

    Hello from West Michigan

    Well, we finally did it. We stopped talking about having chickens and now have 20 of the cutest chickies. We went to TSC one day and saw that they had the week old chicks on special because they had received new 1 day olds and we dove right in. We've had them for 2 weeks now and I just love...
