Two days ago I found one of my 1 year old barred rocks lying on the floor, with her eyes closed and a super large crop., and a hard purple tinted comb. I brought her inside to find she was refusing to use her legs and her pupils were dilated. I immediately put her in the sick bay, in fear...
I got this bird and was told that it could possibly be a Olive Egger. Is this true? If not what is she? I know for sure she was classified as a rare breed. However the hatchery I got her from called Olive Eggers rare. Thoughts?
The laced Wyandotte always runs up to my hand and the RIR doesn't. My old roo would always run up to my hand. Is it possible the reason he isn't so aggressive towards me is because I have another roo somewhere in the pen and he is the omega? Will this make him calmer? He is mean to the other...
Hi! I have 3 chicks that I am still unsure what breed or gender they are.

My has recently become more aggressive. He recently bit me while I was holding clover. I also tried to pet him and he bit me.
However recently when I bend down to talk to them he will put the wing farthest from me spread out tight against his body and stomp around me. He normally lets me pick...
My rooster is starting to do this to but he puts his wing out and stamps around me. How can I stop it? He is a four month old Golden Buff and he just started doing it this week. He normally lets me pick up him and the hens but today I couldn't touch either
