Yes, I did check his throat. No abnormalities. His color is excellent, no swelling either. Eyes are bright and clear, nostrils are clear and dry. He does not sound as if he is struggling with fluid in the lungs. There's no gurgling... no discharge of any kind, no sneezing or coughing. He...

Polish/houdan 2 yr old Rooster, has lost weight. Not severe but noticeable as he is a big boy. Been wheezing off and on for months. Hoarse,shrill crow. Less, and sometimes nonexistent in cooler weather. Very cranky mood. Has never been aggressive until this. No other symptoms at all...

Got this nugget out of a bantam bin at TSC. Thinking it's a black bantam rosecomb but beyond that, I'm not sure. I know rosecombs can be tricky to sex, I have had some wyandottes trick me before. It's approx 4 weeks old. No altering of the photo, natural indoor light. Also, it sounds...

We butchered our very mean, 22month old blue slate turkey tom for thanksgiving. When we butchered him, he had an astounding amount of white fat both in his cavity and a big heap of it up on top of the breast. He dressed at 18lbs, and at carving time we were dismayed to find that he had even...

Changes: He was temporarily moved to a holding pen for 4 days while we were out of town in August because I had a family member watching the flock and his aforementioned human aggressiveness. He seemed to adjust to being back with them fairly well but I have never removed him from the flock...

As of the past few weeks there's been a lot of screeching and shrieking coming from the chicken yard. My 3 year old rooster has suddenly developed the mannerisms of a cranky old man. He bites any hen that tries to feed near him if he is at the feeder or waterer, he bites if they are in a perch...

I could use some advice on how to blend a turkey flock. I cannot free range them unfortunately, in order to easily introduce them. I have a breeding trio that is just under 2 yrs old and three of their offspring, approx 4 1/2mos old that I need to add to the trio's pen. Right now, I have...

Thanks Dawg! So to clarify (since I read differently in another thread) 1cc per standard,and 1/2cc per bantam of the 11.36% liquid suspension? The big ole grubs is what I think was carrying them. We had a lot of the green june bugs last year and they were all over my chicken compost pile...

anyone? :(

Yes, I'm positive this is what we have - I have seen heavy tapeworm segments in several droppings. :( The girls had a heyday in my compost heap where they found huge beetle grubs and no doubt that's where they got them. Valbazen is on it's way here but I have lots of questions about...

I had one like that, but it was being harassed endlessly by the rooster. I re-homed her.

Here's my babies from this seller. Very docile, good temperament. One little tom is already displaying, at 1 month old now. All self-blues.

He's blue wheaten to me, darker than my boy though.

They are great looking birds, was her Rooster straight blue or black? I'd swap roos in that case and keep in mind it will take several weeks before the girls aren't fertile from your wheaten boy.

Your blue wheaten Rooster is lovely, but I don't see any blue wheaten hens, only the blue hens. Do you have him over wheatens or only the blues?

Awww... another little black silkie mama. :D There's quite a few in this thread, or is it just me?

Oh these are neat! I just hatched some EE's fathered by a blue wheaten boy, one of them looks like a really dark wheaten girl and I was curious what she would look like grown! I've been surprised that the EE coloring didn't take over the genetics as much as I thought it would. I bred them for...
