So here is the whatsit chick and her buddy, at almost 8 weeks old. I say "her" because the comb and wattles are still light pink, not red, they've been the same color for a couple weeks. Does she still look like a leghorn?

Someone brought me this chick a few days ago. Some kids had found it in a park. The local hatchery is still selling chicks, but when I stopped by they didn't have any that seemed to be quite the right age. The chicks they had that looked closest to it were white Leghorns. Any one have any...

I never got a reply, but I got a couple dozen 'looks'. I pulled Russell inside (in the kitchen, in a very large dog crate, next to the sliding glass door so he could see the other chickens, and had some "out" time on the vinyl floor every day for some exercise) for a few weeks, until the weather...

So I have a Polish cockeral, Russell, who I found weak and still inside the coop this morning after the rest of the bunch came out. He's not quite four months old, and has been going through a growth spurt and a molt. He is underweight, he looks like he should weigh a lot more than he does. His...

That's funny, my girls are 5 and 8 also. His name was picked out as soon as I decided to go pick him up, it is for my amusement, LOL. The parent birds names were Pepe LePeu and Penelope. I was surprised at how big the daddy was, and that he was fine with me coming into the chicken run with a...

I love looking at all the pictures, so many different combos with the polish. Here's a couple of pics of mine. The hen is from the local hatchery, she was from this year's breeding stock. Her name is Tostada. The little cockeral is a craigslist freebie, his name is Russell, he's about two months...

I walked in the house for just a moment, was going to grab something and head right back out, I turned around and this is what I see: They must have been right on my heels. I took a couple pics, and shooed them out. If you look to the far right, you see part of my Wyandotte hen.

Yay! I finally get to post here! Two of my EE girls started laying this week. *Sorry for the small pics, I was having trouble loading them at the medium size. First: Who: Samantha, gray & brown EE When: hatched 4/2/2012, laid first egg 10/2/2012 Where: Craigslist ad What: light green egg...

Thank you, I'll check that out tomorrow when the feed store is open. I have Sulmet on hand, I'm giving them a little lighter dose than the bottle recommends. They started scratching around and clucking a little yesterday, so they seem to be feeling a little better.

I see at least one single comb so not really a Sebright. Also coughing & sneezing isn't a symptom of Coccidiosis & it would be unusual for adult birds to acquire Cocci. There is more than one thing going on with them, I stated in my post that I thought they had CORYZA in addition to cocci. Yes...

I'm glad I found this thread, I acquired two golden hens yesterday, as a result of a free ad on Craigslist. The guy had probably two dozen left, he said he just didn't want to deal with them any more. Unfortunately, they started coughing and sneezing as soon as I brought them in, so they're...

I was out snapping pics of the peeps last night, the husband let the dog out, and a couple of the peeps started stalking him. Unfortunately, I missed a couple shots where one of the EEs had her hackles flared and ran at him. Here's what I did get: Almost had to step in and rescue...

Thanks, she has been such a joy to have around. When I first brought her home, one of the young cockerals I had started nonchalantly pecking the feathers on her back. She stared at him, clucked once, he ignored her, then she pecked him right between the eyes and squawked. The look on her face...

Back in June, I bought three hens from the local hatchery, they were selling off this year's breeding stock. One of them is a silver laced Wyandotte. From the day I brought her home, she has been very self-assured. She isn't really bossy, she's actually great with the other birds, but she...

Thanks sharing your experience. I'm hoping it doesn't get too bad, because I really like him, he's showing a lot of positive personality traits. I have no problem in working to assert myself, and to make sure my other family members are safe. This is my first go-round with chickens, and I'm...

I do that, and after his morning "adjustment", he has no problem getting out of my way. He's very wary of the kids, they move too much and make too much noise, he just stays on the other side of the yard. I think he's more familiar with me since I'm the caregiver, and I've had him since he was...

I have a 3 1/2 month old EE roo that started crowing a few weeks ago. Just this week, he has started to give me some 'tude. He doesn't charge me, but first thing in the morning, I've noticed him standing his ground when I walk near him, and today I even got a half-hearted peck. My response has...

Name: (If Applicable): Redbeard Age:11 weeks Breed: Easter Egger How'd You Wound Up With this chicken: He is one of four straight run "Ameraucana" chicks I bought in April. Picture:
