    help! her insides look like they are coming out!

    Sounds like a prolapsed vent. Kathy Mormino (The Chicken Chick) has detailed instructions on what to do for this on her website -www.the-chicken-chick.com. The others will cannibalize your poor girl if you don't fix it. Her instructions have always been life-savers for me. Hope that helps!

    How to keep other hens from pulling out BCM's foot feathers?

    Yes, I've seen them doing it. Caught them in the act a few times! And it's only the feet. I've seen them doing it when they're settling down to roost. You can't cut the feathers off - the shafts have blood which is why they bleed so profusely when pulled. I would essentially be doing the...

    How to keep other hens from pulling out BCM's foot feathers?

    I have a couple of black copper marans pullets with feathered feet. My buff orps are obsessed with pulling out their foot feathers which causes injuries and unwanted attention. I typically separate when this happens until bleeding stops and coat with blue-kote to minimize repeat offenses. Any...

    Yay! So glad! Out of curiosity, what would be the characteristics of a cockerel at 11 weeks?

    Black Copper Marans cockerel or pullet??

    I have two BCMs around 11 weeks old. One of them has always been huge and looks different to me. It has enormous legs, a copper neck & the feathering on its face looks different. However, the saddle feathers look rounded to me. The smaller one is just starting to get some coppery tones on her...

    Poultry Hollow Hatchery Experience and Poultry Hollow Hatchery Chick "Growth Chart" (PIC HEAVY)

    I'm in the Nashville area & have heard horrible things about Poulty Hollow from folks who have gone out there. I bought my chicks from Doug & Tracie @ The Poultry House in Franklin. It's bio secure certified so you can't go there but they will deliver or you can pick up in Triune. Several...

    Unsure if these are EE pullets or cockerels?

    Here are our 3 girls @ 1 week. top to bottom - Daisy, Nutty & Lucy. The Buff Orp sadly didn't make it. Next pic has coloring @ around 3-4 weeks maybe? Lucy has always been behind with size/feather growth.

    At what point do their combs start turning? Should it already be red if a roo?

    The 2 chipmunk colored ones you're asking about looked just like my Daisy. The chocolate one looked like my Nutmeg. You saw those pics on my thread. Both typical coloring for EEs. Daisy will be striking once she's completely feathered out. I'll try to post chick pics tomorrow.

    Unsure if these are EE pullets or cockerels?

    My three EEs are about 7 weeks and I'm wondering if 2 of them are cockerels. I feel pretty sure Nutmeg is a pullet and hope the others are too since we're not zoned for roos. I purchased sexed chicks but I know there's that 10% chance. I'm really hoping the white & black one (Lucy) is a...
