Hi everyone, I'm cross posting in order to get as much advice on additional care and breed ID as I can. The following is from my personal fb page.
Animal loving friends could y'all pls send prayers and positive thoughts for this poor baby? I got a call from the animal shelter asking if I could...
Thank you so much!

*Update* Our vet worked us in and after tests, X-rays, microscopic examinations and some unpleasant forced regurgitation it looks like Jasmine ( the bantam Brahma) is suffering from some complications from sour crop. The liquid on her crop did not show yeast but tons of...
Does anyone know what this is? I found our bantam brahma as well as another hen hanging out away from the flock yesterday evening which was a new behavior. They looked a little tired but that was it. No respiratory symptoms, no injuries.I thought it was because our two young roosters had been...
I ended up using a crayon since I didn't have any unscented candles. Melted it over the cracks. Hope I did it right! It went back out to mama last night. Fingers and feathers crossed!
Help! Tonight when I was candling our 3 eggs the flashlight slipped and cracked this eggshell! This is the egg I wanted the very most! They are under hens, not in an incubator. Day 14. Can anything be done?? I can't believe I did this.
I am so sorry I somehow missed this update. Poor baby ( and dad). Nugget was so lucky to be cared about and valued! I hope that brings comfort.
On a happy note yay for a wedding, congrats!!
Does anyone have a solid idea of breed? She is standard/large fowl size. We are adopting this little girl from someone who bought her April 9th at Tractor Supply. I called TS and they don't have a record of what breeds they have. I guess it was an assortment from Ideal Poultry. I looked on the...
So I went to the feed store and this happened. Some lady found it , was orphaned and the feed store gave it to me for free. I could have said no but My daughter was with me and she talked me into it. :D Plus I have 3 in a brooder anyway so what is one more?
No idea what breed it is or gender. I...
So the adventure continues! So glad to hear that it is mostly forward progress. Sounds like she's handling it superbly and think of all the knowledge you are gaining that you can share with others. Thanks for updating, keep them coming!
Thank you! I ended up with a few more chicks than I intended a couple of weeks ago so I think I am at capacity. If you get a double tufted rumpless though I may find room....;)
Thank you everyone for this thread and replies! My hubby made ours and it went out yesterday afternoon. Put some dried mealworms in the openings to get the ladie's attention. Fingers crossed!
Thank you for responding! Will you be having any chicks this spring? I usually like to raise mine from very young because they are pets and are pretty spoiled so I want to be able to love on them. :) I only have a flock of 8 and will be adding 4 or 5 this spring but all will be under 8 weeks.
Would love an update on your experience! I thinks these guys are so crazy looking! Like the idea of their little personalities but the exposed breast is ...interesting.
