I have no idea what is wrong with her. Lethargic, her comb is not as red as usual, she more or less stand in one spot. It was a thought that there could be something to put in the water to ensure better health with the others. I have had chickens for years, and never anything like this. I soaked...

Is there a basic antibiotic that can be added to the water for a small flock of 7 hens. One of my 7 doesn't seem well. Comb turning dark and she is lethargic. Snuffling. .

I tried for two months to integrate a wild fowl variety to my regular breed chickens and they will have NONE of it. The fowl hide out all day in the nesting boxes and hardly eve venture and when they do,the chickens rush them. I hink what I have is green legged partridge fowl, but no one is...

I have my 5 regular chickens and when I say regular, Rhode Island Reds, Transylvannia Naked Neck, Barred Rock,etc. I was given three hens that were really quite beautiful but, we all here on this forum, had a hard time defining them, but I think I have green legged partridge fowl. They followed...

Thanks, I raised the roosting poles and that seems to keep them out of the nesting boxes.

In many of the photos, I see nesting boxes located on the floor of a coop. For the last 6 years mine have been at shoulder level with a ladder. I have a new flock juset maturing this year and wondered about changing the location. They insist on roosting in the nesting boxes as did my last flock...

Well, someone said they can't be Aracaunas because they had tails.. so I researched some more. I really don't care WHAT I have but it is fun to know. Researching the little ones, I came up with Green Legged Partridge Fowl and they look just like it. They are very, very young. Maybe a couple...

Bet it is an Ameracauna...

but hang on

I know the smaller ones are not aracaunas, green legs, but the larger one. who knows. Apparently no one. LOL

Still mystery. Guy from whom I got them here in Mexico, told me the two small ones are "Ash chickens" and the larger is Aracauna. I can't find ash chickens anywhere, so must be a Mexican name for somethign else. Oh well, will be fun to see what develops from these young 'uns!

The guy that gave these to me said they are definitely not game birds, so I am at sea. I wanted layers . They sure don't look like any chicken I have ever had or seen. This was the mama and babies, and I have three of the offspring.

Would a mixed game breed be a good layer? I was told they were.

Tiny tiny combs but they are very young still.

Yes, teeny tiny comb.

Two of them have greenish legs and the larger one has brown legs. My other hens all have the yellow legs, so this is a mystery.

comb isn't readily identifiable yet. They are quite young. They were just given to me yesterday and I needed three hens to add to my existing 4.

Just got a few new hens and can't identify the breed. Kind of like Aracauna but neck is light. Any ideas? Thanks.

We feed a good quality crumble as well as scratch, and we live south of the border near San Diego. I am only going by what we always got in the past, which was more eggs than we could use, yet this year, almost nothing. We have changed nothing, so it makes no sense to us. ??
