She is a Sebright. I know she's got a single comb and should have a rose comb. But after quite a bit of research, I've found that it's an anomaly frequently found in hatchery chicks. I'm not going to show her or breed (she's my house pet),and I prefer single combed birds so I'm happy with it ;)...
Any Sebright experts out there, please help! I've got this little Sebright and I'm really hoping "she" is in fact a she. The size of the comb is throwing me, but color-wise it's still yellow and no red. Wattles are nonexistent at this point. I'm hopeful someone can help me determine the gender...
Hi,
We have a mixed breed flock of 4 hens and one roo. The girls were all consistent daily layers until about a week ago. We thought they were hiding their eggs, so resorted to keeping them in their 10'x20'run plus coop. We're on day 3 of penning and still no eggs from ANY of them! What gives...
If I don't get up when she's awake, she makes faint clucking noises. If I don't tend to her right away, I end up with a chicken on my head!Then she hops off the bed, eats from her bowl in the kitchen and I let her out to join the flock after removing her diaper. She waits by the door to be let...
My sweet, super spoiled bantam hen has gone half way broody. Is this normal? She's been laying in the nest box for about an hour or two, certainly not long enough for hatching, but flattens herself out and gruffs at the other hens if they disturb her. She's also been fluffing out her feathers...
I'm also interested in some! These are great. I like them as a form of Id in the same sense as a dog tag. I'd love at least one for my sweet Twilight. My e-mail is [email protected]
I was taking my pills this morning and my beloved pet house chicken jumped up and swiped my 100mg Zoloft. I tried getting it out of her throat but it was too late. There are NO avian vets local or in the vicinity. She seems OK right now. This was about 30mins ago. She ate, drank water and is now...
Hi all!
Sorry if this has been discussed before. We let our broody Japanese bantam hatch out 2 eggs. They hatched late last night. Both appear healthy. These are our first babies ever. I would like to handle them as often as possible. Is there a point at which they can be handled too much? Will...
Hi! Just introducing myself. I'm very new to chickens. I stumbled on this group multiple times when googling chicken questions. Figured it's time to just become a member. We have 2 bantam hens and one rooster. We also have a 4 mo sex link hen. She's my favorite.
