    Yellow liquid while butchering Cornish Crosses

    I butchered 2 Cornish Crosses yesterday. Both looked pretty healthy. When I cut off the gland on one of the Roo's Pope's nose, a yellow oily liquid spilled out.The reasonable side of me chalked it up to preen oil, but I want to make sure. no liquid cutting into the cavity, all looked quite...

    Using Rabbit Water Bottles For Chicks?

    I have 3 day old chicks, they are using the bunny bottle fairly well. I did have to take them one by one and put their beak to the tip ( i made sure nothing went in their nostrils) and I have been watching them one by one to make sure they are getting the hang of it. So far so good. The first...

    Dirty bottoms

    I was given a Roo with a dirty bottom. I soaked him in Epsom salt this morning and cut away all the poop on his feathers. He had no fluff, just hard quil like tail feathers. The reason why I took him was so I could butcher him as he is just 5 months old but very large. His droppings look...

    Plymouth Rock Rooster with matted red bottom.

    The soak seemed to do the trick. I soaked him with Epsom salt with a bit of antiseptic in the water. When I looked at his bum after I took him out, it was not red at all but I did put a bit of diaper cream on it. I cut away any poo matted feathers. He had about 4 solid normal looking...

    Plymouth Rock Rooster with matted red bottom.

    Thanks so much for the replies. I'm still a bit green in this area and since I don't have a vet within 500 miles ,I appreciate it so much. The strange part is that he has poo'd quite a bit in the carrier and it looks quite normal. I instinctively feel that it wouldn't be right to kill it while...

    Plymouth Rock Rooster with matted red bottom.

    We live in probably the most remote places in Australia (Weipa). Since our food comes by barge once a week to stock the one grocery store, I decided to raise chooks for eggs, food..( all meat comes in frozen). We have a small community fb page and I have been snatching up the free roos for...

    Black Copper Marans,Americauna,Peking Bantam

    I'm so happy the breeds are straight now. I thought I had bulk cop Marans, after I googled the bulk Americaunas, it all made sense. The less I have to kill the more I like it;)

    Black Copper Marans,Americauna,Peking Bantam

    You all have been so helpful! I manage to wrangle the 4 I believe are roos, but 1 I am unsure of. They are taking a really long time to grow, I don't know why some do not even have combs yet! They were born Dec 23. Could some one take a look to see if you think all roo? Thanks ;)

    Black Copper Marans,Americauna,Peking Bantam

    They were born Dec 23... here are the pictures of the eggs they came out of. Do wheaten Maran lay green/blue eggs? My girlfriend is adamant that they are Americaunas. Would Australian strains look different? I just can't have roos, I don't want to send a hen to freezer camp. I've only been...

    Black Copper Marans,Americauna,Peking Bantam

    Thanks so much for the the replies, I tried to get some better shots but they were all over the place. Uh oh, I think my friend would be quite upset if they were not black copper Marans.She had the eggs flown up from Tasmania to Weipa, and they were expensive. Should be 5 black Marans ,2...

    Black Copper Marans,Americauna,Peking Bantam

    Hi everyone, if someone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it! A friend of mine leaving the country gave me 5 Marans,2 Americaunas, and a little Peking. They are 11 weeks old. She could not sex them before she left and I am new to the chicken raising experience, but I am pretty sure I...
