One of my 5 month old black sex linked TSC babies was sluggish at least 10 days ago so I removed her from the flock. (Does TSC vaccinate their chicks?) She has been in a separate cage in the shed, away from the flock. She was eating and drinking the past week. Within five or so days she was...

Our 4 month seabright roo has gone through alot these past two weeks. I thought he was surely going to die. First I thought he had gape worm (maybe he did), then respiratory illness, now a stroke. I treated him for worms and he had antibiotics and electrolytes. He is now eating and drinking...

My seabright banty roo has gape worm. Every post I read is different. First I read to use fenbendazole paste now I'm reading to use Ivermectin! I've treated for 2 days with fenbendazole paste. He does not seem to be getting any better and I am seriously thinking I will lose him soon. What...

Our babies from Tractor Supply are now 10 weeks old. I am wondering what a few of them are. One of the pullets is gorgeous! She is black and a golden color! The roo (we are looking for a new home if anyone is local) is a sweetheart and I think a Seabright?????? We also have this little girl...

Long story short - A. Had a broody columbian banty. She wouldn't accept the hatchling so I took the baby inside and have been taking care of it. (one week old) B. Now have a broody buckeye banty. She is sitting on 4 eggs - with one hatching a half hour ago. Back to baby A 1. Can I put...

Just wondering if 3 week old chicks can crow - even if they are still peeping?? I'm hearing a lame noise coming out of our shed but can't catch the culprit!

Not sure what these banties are. They're about 3 weeks now. Cute little boogers - red head, feathers are gorgeous, no combs, feathers are looking tannish-red with black edging. I am not seeing any pointy feathers though but a few are sparring and now I'm wondering if they're mostly cocks...

I purchased some assorted banty's from TS and I honestly think that 4 of them are silkies. Is this a possibility? I was told that there would be no way that they would mix them in. They all have a gray beak, gray legs and feathers on their feet. They are very fluffy also. Thank you.

We're looking for a good home for at least 2 of our big roosters. I would prefer someone that will not eat them because they are considered pets. These boys were rescued as chicks from the side of the road during our summer vacation. They have been hand raised and just need more...

Looking for a banty hen to hang with our single banty hen. She is new to our flock and needs someone that her own size to hang out with.

We rescued 5 chicks from Pa this summer. One died in July and the other 4 are thriving. Turns out they are all roos!! Friendly roos though! They have been housed in their own coop next to our girls coop. They all have a run which runs side by side. The roos and the girls have been next to...

With the cold temps approaching, I have been getting the girls ready. The heat lamp thing makes me nervous....especially leaving it on at night. They hate the red lamp and seem to fight more with it on. Should the door opening to the run be closed or left open? What about making the opening...

Just curious as to when I might see spurs on my rooster. He's about 4 months old...we think... and crowing already. And if one crows will the others chime in if they are also roosters? Sorry, new to this!

I am new to this forum. Looked awesome as I was searching for information though so here I am. I have 10 hens and 4 "not sure what" yet. I became new to chicken raising in June of this year. LOVE IT!! My girls are not free range but they have an 8 X 6 coop and and 8 X 12 run. The other 4...
