I laid her on her side and took this pic. The leg isn't paralyzed, it moves, this just seems how she is comfortable sometimes. Currently, she's sitting and eating upright.
I'm wondering if the mold might be the issue. To be honest, in all my reading, I NEVER heard of that. I have a bag of...
Help! Any advice needed!
So, my year old silkie is acting very strange. Laying down, empty crop, keeps putting left foot back and right foot forward to lay down/ fall over. Very lethargic. She is eating well though. But, not by pecking-- she's gobbling from the left side of her beak mostly...
Thanks for the advice. The chickens have all been together since they were chicks-- about 8 months. No incidents ever before.
My chicken isn't acting hurt and I dont really see any real damage besides feather loss. Should I still separate her? Or just see how it goes over the next couple days?
Came home today and one of my silkies somehow lost massive feathers. There were her feathers all over the run and when i looked at her, there was a bald spot on her upper back and tops of wings. A very very big one.
I've never seen pecking in my flock before, but just let a broody bird out of...
Ok, I wonder if anyone has any insight here. Had a weird thing happen.
Happily, our French Marans (Fifi) had her first egg this morning. It was tiny and had a nice hard thick shell.
Then, this evening while I was removing a cage from the run (we have a recently feathered girl I introduced a...
I've recently found out this beautiful "hen" is actually a rooster. If you want him, PM me or comment below and we can meet up or you can pick him up. I'm also happy to raise him until he's fully feathered if you need me to.
Also, his name is 'Penny' and he wants you to respect his life...
Dang it... welp, i'm glad he's good looking because i'm about to post him up in the 'free' section. If anyone here wants him, just PM me. I'm located in Los Angeles and would be happy to have someone pick him up. He's pretty nice and a really nice size.
Soooo I bought this Easter Egger and now it's about 7 or 8 weeks old. In the morning I hear a slight crow, however I've read this might be a pecking order behavior as my new flock establishes itself. I'm thinking it's a rooster though. Thoughts? This is my first flock and i'm learning...
PS-...
Hey Shober-- so it looks like this school wants to take her and so i'm going to do that. So sorry, but you can totally buy some where I got her in Sylmar. It's called Cooper's.
-a
Shober- Awesome! I'd be happy to give her to you.
I should mention (as Cooper12 said) that I'm hoping she wont be a lone chick though. Unless you can spend a lot of time with her, she could get lonely. I'm still a novice and you may know better than me about what to do about that. Totally up to...
Hey Marlo1968,
Thanks for the info and for the nice reply. I really appreciate it! I'm not at all disappointed that they're EEs at all and will just be intrigued to see what they look like. Thanks for the welcome to BYC :)
