Deep reds on him

I can't seem to add more than one pic to each reply...

My local hardware had these listed at Colombian wyandottes. Obviously they are not even close as there is zero white. One is a roo and the other a hen. Any ideas? Not any real lacing on their feathers at all.[/IMG][/IMG]

Thank you for your response Eggcessive. So I performed my own necropsy. The most recent dead hen had a large ovarian cyst in her cavity. Was almost size of my fist. The two who died are just shy of 3 years old. My sick Cochin is 1.5 years old. She is in the hospital in the warm basement, not...

Hi, I have been raising hens for 3 years and suddenly I have lost two in the last week and a third is on her way out. The first and second that both passed within a week of each other had been getting skinny and were acting uninterested in much for a few weeks before. Now one of my blue...

I received 15 two days ago, two have passed and two more are in a separate brooder that I am giving maple water to with a syringe. The last time I got them this didn't happen, so I don't know why this time is different. How old are they? Were they mailed or picked up from store? Some are born...

Hello, Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a 15 month old buff orphington who became a bit secluded about a week ago from the rest of the flock. I lifted her up on to the roost one night but didn't think anything about it. The next day I went in with a banana treat and she didn't...

Hmm they were bathing in the litter in the sunny parts yesterday, so I moved the bath outside into the sun. Still nothing. I guess I will just be patient with them.

I will try that once the snow goes away! I bought some DE today, in case the shavings don't do enough. Thanks!

So I have a large dust bath set up for my 26 weekers, and they have had it for a couple months. It is half wood ash, a quarter sand and a quarter peat moss. Everytime they bathe, it's in the deep litter. I pick them up, put them in the pan, and they jump out. Any ideas/advice? The bath is...

I'm very sorry for your loss. You tried and that's what matters.

Mine were hatched October 1st and started laying about two weeks ago. Some haven't laid any yet, some daily. It will happen soon!!

Wonder powder will cauterize the wound, and you need to keep her separate from the others until she heals. I'm currently dealing with this now. I have the bully and injured in my basement, separate. The injured had a torn comb and it's been a week. If I put her back in it gets reinjured very...

Thank you all, the neighbor did not want her creating a problem in her flock. So, a very good friend of mine will be taking mama and has no chickens, so he will be repurposing a very large dog house to accommodate her and one of the other birds she does not pick on. He has wanted chickens for...

Hello, This is my first thread, so hi everyone. I am at my wits ends. I have 7 buff orphs and 6 black austr. and they were born oct. 1 '13. They are just now coming into laying, some for a few weeks, but I have one who is in isolation for the second time. She, or mama, was bullied when she...
