1) What type of bird , age and weight Serama Cockerel 5months of age, no change in weight in the last month 2) What is the behavior, exactly. He cannot rise from a laying position. Walks fine after being placed upright. You must pick him up, straighten out his legs and set him down. When...

So my 8yo son adopted his much loved Spangled OEGB cockerel that was rescued from a wildfire a few months back. We have the opportunity to pick up a bb red oegb pullet and I'm wondering what color they would produce if we hatched their eggs. (Sorry, if it's a silly question! I'm an Orpington...

What color (if any named color applies) would you say this is? Every now and then I get one of these from one of my blue silkie hens. Thanks!

My daughter has three indoor seramas she got in December. Yesterday she noticed her pullet was not as perky as normal and I cannot find anything other than that wrong. Today we noticed her cockerel was not up walking around. I have no idea what is going on and I am worried we could be seeing...

So my daughter was given this rooster for fitting and showing and was told he was a Serama. I am not convinced. Leaning towards Old english game? Thoughts? I'm not entirely familiar with either breed. Thanks!

I thought this guy was white but recently he started developing gray patchiness. (He is 4.5 mo.) Is this leakage or a poor splash? Hen was blue. I orignally thought the roo was black but it could have been my paint roo.

What on earth color is this little? It came from a pen with black(hens and roos), black/silver leakage (roo) , splash (roo), cuckoo (hen), paint (hen). The gal told me it's a splash. I don't know what to think...

Hi all- I have a silkie around 6 weeks old. One week ago she started tucking her head under her body and walking backwards sometimes even flipping over. I immediately began treatment for wry neck. (Electrolytes in water, Vitamin E, Poly-vi-sol) Within 36 hours she showed marked improvement. She...

My 5 week old is blue right? New to the fancier colors- thanks!

Got a flock and this one came with. The beak does not cross but sure looks odd. I've never actually seen scissor beak in person before. Thanks!

So... I ordered 5 chicks from Meyer and when my order arrived there was an extra box with it labeled from Mypetchicken.com with 15 EXTRA chickens in it. The label said it contained 5 white rocks, 5 brown egg layers, and 5 rare breeds. I have them all figured out except these three... your...

When I became a first time chicken owner I relied very heavily on this forum for advice and I cannot tell you how valuable this site is!! There is one thing that I never came across as a newbie and wanted to share with others... When choosing leg bands for my girls I spent HOURS on here...

I have a 19 week old Buff Orp who laid her first egg about a week ago. She laid 2 good eggs and then on the third day she laid a soft shelled egg on the floor of the coop- for the rest of the week she laid no eggs. Today she was just standing in the nesting box for a long time so I lifted her...

I have 5 buff orpington girls who could start laying in the next few weeks. I free range them from sun up to sun down but I do have a run attached to the coop. Until now I have been using my nesting boxes as storage space because I didn't want them sleeping in them instead of using the roost but...

I have 8 almost 5 week old Buff Orpingtons. I would like to be moving them outside to their coop at night soon. Currently they go outside into their coop/run when the sun comes up and the temp is at least 45 degrees. They stay out all day and come in the house either after the sun goes down or...

Purchased sexed female chicks at 2 days old, they are 4 weeks old today. I have one that is sticking out like a sore thumb. Feathering much slower, and now has more defined comb and wattles where the other girls have none. Forgot to add... these are Buff Orpingtons and "he/she" isn't large...

I lost a 3 day old chick yesterday due to unknown causes. I think it was shipping stress but some said her symptoms resembled that of Coccidiosis so I added Sav a Chick to their water and started them on Corid, it has been about 28 hours since I noticed the original one was sick and the...

First time with baby chicks here and yesterday when I got them one had a pasty bottom, I cleaned her up and she was great all day yesterday- eating, drinking, pooping, etc. This morning she seems more tired than the others, the others are up and eating and stuff but she is still sleeping and...

Hi! I got 15 buff Orpington chicks this morning and all are thriving and well, eating and drinking and having periods of play and rest, I did a lot of research prior to getting them and everything I read said to keep a part of the box at 95 degrees the first week, so I put a thermometer in there...

Just wanted to share because I got the idea from scouring the many awesome ideas on here! We can't really free range because our property is not fenced and I worry about ground and sky predators. Anyhow....I made this so that we can let them out of their stationary run for some grazing but not...
