Have you any experience with Jubilee Orpingtons? I have 4 that are 6 weeks old.
One of these is obviously jubilee colored. The others are mostly solid color and one has like a blue undertone?? I don't know anything about raising them as chicks, only adore the adult coloring. Is this typical?
OH OKAY!! I can definitely tell that's a roo!! Thank you so much! I was kind of hoping one was a roo. :( Everyone keeps telling me that there isn't a way to keep a rooster nice, is that true?
Everyone is still acting well and eating and drinking. Day two of corid water. Seen one bloody poo this morning in the run. Maybe that will be the last! Thanks everyone for your help!
Whew glad I seem that before I hit the hay. Me and my absolutely wonderful husband just went out and syringe fed corid and put in water. We shall see what the night brings.
Sorry, it was dark when I found this one. There are a couple of droppings around the run like this. The one from this morning was all blood, no poo. They are all roosted for the night so I'm going to put out corid water first thing in the morning. Next question... I was looking at the chicken...
I have corid, should I wait to treat until I see more blood? So far just the one is all I have seen. If it were an infection would that bird pass blood every time?
I accidentally posted this in new member intro but I thought I would post here too. I just got back from the coop and on the droppings board is one single poo splatter of straight blood. What do I do now? I have 5 hens and a roo. From 12-19 weeks. Everyone greeted me at the door to the run this...
I know there are tons of threads about this, but I am in freak out mode and just thought this might be faster. I just went out to the coop and found on the droppings board one poo splatter that is straight blood. Just one. Don't see any in the run. But I am freaking out. Should I treat all 6...
Here's the video of Henry (Henrietta) the larger red hen getting put in her place by Harry (Harriet) the leader of the Rocks. Poor baby. She's not used to that. Maybe it will work!!
Well, I let the barred rocks out of their cage today. I was absolutely shocked when the queen Red got shut down by the queen rock. It was quite humorous. She got put in her place and didn't know what to think about it. Now they are all cuddled up together without a care! :woot I guess I just...
I'm new and just finding this. I have a production red... Maybe 17 weeks old or so and I think she WAS impacted. We moved sand into the run, fed her some diluted pineapple juice, put vinegar in her water and now her crop is no longer hard. You can tell a huge difference in size when you feel of...
