Sophie is my Serama housechicken, she will be 1 yr old in october. She became broody in June so I ordered her some eggs and she say until mid July, hatching 3. A few weeks ago she seemed off, not eating or drinking much. I thought she acted like she had something stuck in her throat. I treated...

I have a broody serema in my living room. She is about 8 months old, I have only had her about 1 month. Been broody about 1 week. She has been just fine until this afternoon when she started pecking about 1 inch above her food. I noticed one pupil is fully open and does not react to light. She...

I have a 1 1/2 yr old rooster that has a throat infection. his throat is very swollen and he cannot eat or drink. He was at the vet yesterday and got steroid shot and antibiotics. He has gotten dehydrated and I want to give him sub q fluids but my vet is closed today and no one will sell me the...

The day before yesterday I heard my chickens making a big fuss and when I checked there was this strange little bird walking through their run. I ran in and shooed it out before they could hurt it. It wondered off into the woods and came back later in the day. It stayed out of their run so I...

This is more a behavior question than anything so hopefully I am in the right place. I have a group of 11 LF ladies with one banty roo. 5 of my ladies are bearded and muffed EE's, 3 are without their beards. Someone is picking but I am not sure who or what to do. They have a large elevated coop...

3 weeks ago a loose Husky mix came into my yard and killed my Ameraucana roo. He tried to get to others but DH was able to take him down before more could be lost. I had to go to court today and that stupid cow had the gall to say that her mutt was worth $800 and not worth "just a chicken". I...

Last Wednesday I lost my top roo, a winning show quality Ameraucana, to roaming husky that is no longer a threat. I REALLY want to hatch a few of his offspring but no one seems to be broody at this time. I do have 3 silkies that are very often broody, is there any way to nudge one of them in...

I have a group of 7 bantams that are 11 to 12 weeks old in a cage inside the house. No bedding, linoleum floor. Eating chick starter/grower with a large sand bath. 2 days ago I began treating for Cocci with Sulmet. tomorrow I begin the 1/2 dose. 3 of the 7 are not looking good. They are not...

I have 2 BA hens, 2 Ameraucana hens, 1EE and 1 Ameraucana roo. The 2 Ameraucana hens are newer, Been there about 2 months after quarantine. The white Ameraucana, Belle, is very timid and gets picked on a bit, esp by the EE, Sami, which is also the roo's fave. Fin is my big BA and she is top hen...

This is Madison a bantam Wyandotte we believe. Madison is 11 weeks old. I have been convinced that Madison is a roo, look at that comb and wattles. But Madison is confused, snuggles with the boys, bullies the girls, walks and stands like my hens and has yet to crow. I have been waiting for the...

This is my sweet boy Ashley, he is 8 weeks old and has been crowing for about 2 weeks now. He is a bantam and as a chick was all gray with no variation of color. Now he has cream,not white, in with the gray with just a few buff flecks on his shoulders. Thanks for looking.

Gypsy is 7 weeks old and I am thinking girl because her comb is pale orange most of the time, it does pink up a little with excitement(didn't want off of me to pose). I am curious about the gray coloring on the head and neck, I don't know if it comes through in the pics but she has great barring...

Pansy is a mottled Japanese bantam, I think. He has been practicing his crow for about 2 weeks now. I wonder when he will start to crow with his beak opened?

I had 2 d'Anver hens kept in a cage in the house. Fed layer crumble and straw in nest box. Poo has been normal and they have been eating and drinking okay, laying about every other day. Daisy seemed sluggish this morning and comb was a little pale. I just looked over and she was in the nest box...

This is Gypsy, a 4 week old bantam cochin. He or she has feathers coming in that are starting to stickout a bit, they just looks a lot less smooth than any of my others. Could it be a frizzle? Does anyone else think it looks like a he.

I have an Ameraucana hen about 1 year old, Sami, she was raised with the 2 austrolorps that she is with now. Over 6 months ago I got them an Americana rooster, Jack, and they all get along wonderfully. Sami has never been top hen but has always been Jack's fave. Fin has always been top hen. A...

This little one was in the bantam bin, it is the same size as my silkies of the same age, 3 weeks. It's stance is different than the others. Wings are white with colored tips and rose comb.

This is Pansy about 2.5 to 3 weeks old. Today I noticed the comb, is there any way that Pansy is a quick developing pullet? Wings were fully feathered at less than 1 week old. Any idea on breed? All I know is the bin was marked bantam. Comb is single and legs are pink.

I am building 2 small coop/runs for my 2 pair of sebrights, they have decided that they only like each other so they have to downsize. Each finished structure is 4 x 8 with a 2 story coop. My question is, since they are movable I can't put in the concrete moat like with my others so how do I...

I got these from the bantam bin at TSC. I think the light gray one is some kind of game, any ideas. from left to right-Buffy has 6 dots on to of her head, Ashley is various shades of dark gray, Coco looks like a darker version of Buffy, and Jezebel(so named because the feisty thing likes to...
