About 10 weeks old. EE x SLW cross. All of the offspring from this cross have been some variation of black and white. We are saying girl, but I'd like some outside opinions.

I have a young pullet who is recovering from a respiratory infection that had watery bubbly eyes. She had been rubbing her face on her wings to clear her eyes. We were also rinsing them twice daily with saline solution. Well one eye cleared up but the other continued swelling and getting kind of...

About three weeks ago I noticed a round worm in a pile of poop that was in the yard. So about a week and a half ago I wormed everyone with pour on ivermec. They had been wormed about 6 months prior with Wazine. We were going out of town so we did it several days before we left so we could...

Is there any way to disinfect a dirt floor in the coop?

My mid 8 week old chicks have runny noses! The runny nose is actually just now developing but they have been feeling bad for a couple weeks now. It started with a couple just not seeming to feel well. They would be lethargic and a little ruffled for a few days and then return to normal...

EDITED!!! See lower replies for pics added I have 14 Frizzled bantam cochins and I need some tips on how to sex them. They are all about 3 weeks old. I am going to keep 3-4 pullets and sell the rest. A friend of mine is coming Saturday to pick out a few and I want to be able to say which few I...

I incubated these two and they are the sweetest! However I think I'm in denial that they still could be girls! Especially since one is starting to sprout iridescent tail feathers They are 10 weeks old and SLW x EE crosses and every single chick has a black and white color pattern so I'm not...

We have been thinking he is a boy but at 3 months I sure thought I'd have a lot more commitment out of him! He doesn't act very dominent, his comb and wattles aren't as red as I thought they would be by now and we haven't seen or heard any attempted crows. I posted a thread on this when...

I got these three pullets from a breeder and I know that they are at least Wheaten colored. My question is are they Blue Wheaten or are they all considered different colors? Or just wheaten?

I got four BC Marans from a lady a few weeks back. She said she could feather sex them but I have been suspicious since the get go. I wanted 3 pullets and 1 Roo, but I have been real worried that I got the opposite of 3 Roos and 1 pullet. Although recently I have noticed that 3 are mostly...

I ordered 15 bantam frizzle Cochins from Murray McMurray and they included one free rare/exotic chick. It's a dark reddish, almost Mahogany, color, and clean legs that have a yellowish color. It also appears to have a single comb. The only chicks on their site that seem remotely close are the...

I have a friend who is coming to pick up some pullets from me in a couple hours and I have 5 EE Crosses that I am still unsure about.... They are out of my SLW Rooster and my EE hens. They have rose combs and not pea combs and they are all a variation of Black and White so I haven't been able...

I'm thinking (and hoping) that I have a boy and girl. They are such sweet friendly little things. I just love them! What does everyone think?

A few weeks ago I picked up two Frizzled Cochins from our local TSC. I was doing some research on why one of them has really skinny feathers and the other has regular flat (but still curled) feathers and came across the term Frazzle or Extreme Frizzle, which would be a frizzle with a double dose...

Anyone else out there have this cross? I have three that we hatched in the bator and they are all light yellow with a little black speckling on the head. I'm curious if these two breeds could be sexlinked because of the barring in the hens? Pics: I will continue to update as they grow for...

Hello all, We just hatched our first hatch from a bator. We had 11 of 13 hatch and feel pretty good about that. However, one of our little Sex links can't seem to keep himself up-right. He can walk a little but will roll onto his back pretty often and then seems to not be able to right...

Anyone ever bred this cross? I have a SLW Roo and a couple Spitzhauben hens. I had a couple hatch under one of our hens and I have two in the bator due to hatch any time now. Any clue if they'd be sex-linked? From what I've read I'd say no, however, of the two that have hatched so far, one is...

We got this Silver Duckwing OEG bantam from a friend last fall and she likes to crow. It's the funniest thing. We mainly notice her doing it while she is caring for her chicks. (She just hatched out her 2 round) I finally caught her on camera today. Any guess to why she does this? Hmmm I'll...

I have four broody hens right now. One hen has already hatched her eggs last Saturday, and the next hen was due to hatch her three this coming Monday. Well, yesterday one of her three hatched (on day 18) and she has two left to hatch. We also have a Banty hen (2 eggs) and another full sized...

As the topic of the thread has suggested, does a SLW Roo and a BR hen make a black sexlink? The outcome so far has been a solid black chick (female?), black feet and legs and solid black beak. We have a couple other eggs of this cross that have a few days until their hatch date. Attached is a...
