    Bantam cockerels in NC

    Too many of the chicks we purchased ended up being roosters. We are currently trying to find homes for four of them. They are bantams. They are about 2 1/2 to three months old now. Two are silver seabrights, one is a black rosecomb and one I'm not sure what the other is. They are all supposed...

    Help! Severely infected oil glands... or something **GRAPIC PICS**

    About a month ago I posted about a bantam chick with a swollen area around the oil gland on his butt. I thought it was getting better for a while, but it looks terrrible now. This is what it looked like when we first noticed it. Even worse, I have three other bantam chicks (about two...

    Impacted/ingrown feather?

    One of our chicks (about five weeks old) is having a problem. The chicks are in that stage where they are losing their down feathers but their big chick feathers haven't all come in yet. One of the chicks has a weird looking sore at the base of its tail. We think it might be an impacted...

    breathing sounds gurgly (respiratory?)

    We noticed today that my roughly five-month old cockerel isn't breathing well. It gets extremely hot and humid where we live, so all the chickens pant all the time. So it might have taken us longer to notice than usual. His panting didn't alarm us. What did alarm us is a gurgle sound when he...

    Nesting box question, new coop pics

    We just finished our new coop. We didn't want to mix the new babies with the big hens, so we split the hen house down the middle for them and made a run out of each side. Hubby did this entire thing with no plans - he just makes it up as he goes along! (I painted and ending up "holding" a lot of...

    Salmon Favorelle and EE: Male or female? (pics)

    We were supposed to receive all hens, but we have a sneaking suspicion that two of them may be roosters. Can anyone advise? The first is a Salmon Favorelle: And we think this one is an EE. We can't tell by its comb if it has the three lines of beads or just one, so we thought we would ask...
