#1 Bought this chicken really young. Was told it was a lavender silkie or something. I wouldn't have a clue. Just getting into the chicken stuff now, so I'm still learning what's what. I have no idea if it's a girl or boy. With my luck it will be a boy. Has some blue patch thing on the sides of...
I have noticed that my 3 month old chicken has been panting sometimes. She does it when she is out running around but she does it at night too when she is in her bed. I thought it might be because she was hot, so I put on the air con for her. It was pretty hot some of those days. I held a water...
Just took it back out to the farm where I got it from. Is was told that it is definetly a girl. I looked at all her siblings and their all roosters. She looks nothing like them. So happy it's a girl. Now I can keep her here. I put her with her brothers to see if she liked it better there but she...
I have a 6 weeks old chicken that I hatched. Was told he/she was a road island leghorn or something. I don't know if that is right but that's what I was told. What do you think it is?
Also, I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but do you think it's a male or female??
Thanks a heap...
I have a 5 week old chicken that lives inside with me. I don't know if it's a he or a she but for the sake of this ill call it a she. She has naps in my bed. She knows not to go on the covers, so she sleeps on her own special blanket but if I sleep in she will sneak over and stand on my head...
Sounds like the crop. But just keep an eye on it. You don't want to rule it out right away just incase it's not. The crop should empty over night so check the lump before it feeds in the morning to see if it is empty or not. If it's not empty it still could be the crop but it could be impacted...
Thanks for your kind words everyone. Sure made my day a little brighter. Jenny has not left my side all day. She even had a nap in my bed with me this afternoon. She cries her heart out if I go out of sight for just a second. She follows me around the house and even had to sit in while I had a...
I regret to inform everyone that Forrest passed away peacefully in his sleep in the early morning. He was a fighter but he just couldn't do anymore. His best friend was by his side when he passed. Thanks for all your help. Without your help he would of suffered more so thank you. His best...
Forrest with his new shoes on. Still not walking flat on them but at least his feet are now in the right place and not curled under each other. He seems a lot more comfy then before.
On another note, he seems to not be getting enough energy from his feed. He won't eat his normal pellet stuff...
The two chickens pictured are brothers. They were born at the same time but now are extremely different sizes. The smaller one is the one that can't walk. His legs just sit out like that when he isn't hobbled. The first pictures posted were taken a few days after he was born and now (3-4 weeks...
That's too cute. Thanks. I hoping he lasts a long time too. I have never loved an animal so much. Would be lost without him. He is truly the highl:)ight of my day. :)
Thanks a heap guys. I figured out how to put it in the right category so it's in there now.
I will check out those websites now. I'm willing to put the time and effort Into saving him. He has such a personality. He is the cutest thing you have ever seen. Definitely worth all the trouble...
I hatched about 17 chicks a few weeks ago. This particular chicken was one of the last to hatch. About 4 hours after hatching I noticed he couldn't stand properly. Being my first time hatching chickens, I wasn't sure what was going on with him so I did some research. Turns out he has splayed...
