In the past few weeks, I have been finding a few large brown eggs along with the usual smaller speckled ones...I have a cuckoo maran from Ideal Poultry, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any other birds that would lay brown eggs. I'm guessing that the maran is laying the bigger ones, but then...
One of my bantam chicks is either gasping or choking, she is very limp and probably close to death - I tried looking down her throat, but there isn't anything I can see.. is there any advice you guys can give me?? I don't think there is very much time :(
Hi everyone! I apologize for the photos, I will try and get more/better ones later haha

thanks for...
Hi all,
Yesterday I noticed some bloody poop in my chicks' pen (they are about 8 weeks), but everyone seemed to be doing fine, so I put more medicated feed in with them. Just this morning I went out to check them and my polish was looking like he was cold, and his wings drooped. I picked him...
Hi there!
I have been lurking around this forum for a while and decided to register, finally. I have seven chickens right now, and around 20 chicks too - and more on the way I keep them mostly as pets, but we get more than enough eggs as well! I have all different breeds right now, two older...
