    Need advice - dark green diarrhea and slight lethargy

    I have reviewed the many BYC posts about chickens with similar symptoms, but none seem to quite match. We have a 2.5 year Barred Rock who started showing slight lethargy and bright green liquid diarrhea about 8 days ago (not mint green, a dark kelley green - but very green). We isolated...

    The Ancona breeders thread

    Hello all - I posted long ago, asking about my Ancona's comb becoming pale and shrunken. Turns out this happens during each molt. Egg laying stops, full molt takes several weeks, then all returns to normal. Her comb becomes bright red and floppy again, and her pretty white eggs return.

    Polish

    Thank you. I guess if she starts crowing, rather than laying, we will know :) I really think she is a pullet.

    Can I please jump in here and ask for an opinion as to whether this 10 week old Polish is a pullet or cockerel?[/IMG]

    RIR cockerel question.

    That certainly looks like a hen to me. What is the verdict?

    The Ancona breeders thread

    Hello Ancona thread. I have an 8 month th old Ancona who started laying at 5 months that and was consistent until 3 weeks ago, then nothing. She seems healthy and happy. The rest of our varies flock (free range by day, large clean coop at night) are healthy and laying well. Pie weather has...

    My ancona stopped laying.

    Also - we added a brooder of chicks to the front of the coop 3 weeks ago. Perhaps that stressed her out?

    My ancona stopped laying.

    We have an 8 month old Ancona who started laying at 5 months and was consistent until about 3 weeks ago, then nothing. She seems healthy and active, eating, drinking, and pooping well, but her large red floppy comb has shrunk significantly, and no eggs. I'm intrigued. We haven't wormed the flock...

    How to raise chicks in cold temperatures?

    Quick question about young chicks outside in the coop. We have 12 laying hens, a perpetually broody Serama Bantam hen, and a charming little Bantam roo. They have a palatial coop in our yard of several acres. We are in Pacific NW, so fall temps are currently low 70s during the day, mid to high...

They are about 18 weeks, and though we built them an extra large and functional coop...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Ameraucana

    Hello and welcome to BYC! I am still fairly new to chickens myself, but I have done a great deal of reading and the colors you describe sound more like Orpingtons than Ameraucanas to me. I completely defer to Junebuggena on breed details, as I find his/her posts to be some of the most...

    Gender guess...

    No sign of dark comb or waddle, but when she stands up in the wind, she looks like this. We know the Serama is a roo.

    Gender guess...

    Can I get in on this and ask your opinion on our 10 week old Ancona? Pullet or Cockerel?

    Easter Egger to Easter Egger

    Adding to this Eater Eggers thread - just one week ago I was asking BYC if this young man was hen or roo. Now, 7 days later, he is ALL cockerel, punishing the girls if they socialize with us, grabbing necks, starting fights. He's 7 weeks old, and up on Craigslist to find new home. No grumpy roos...

    Confirming Breed

    The Barred Rock Conundrum: Hello BYC - we have 15, 7 week old chicks, 3 of which are supposed to be BR, and two Cuckoo Maran. At this age they all look strikingly similar, but one girl has smudged barring and flesh colored feet (the others have yellow feet). Any ideas? Do we perhaps have 4 BR...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Ameraucana

    Thanks! The gal at the feed store has had a flock for many years. She said last spring she was just about ready to load up three unwanted roosters for drop at farm down the road, but they all started laying. She was shocked and now waits to be very sure. Fingers crossed!
