I have a nine month old HRIR pullet that is dying. She had a poopy butt this last weekend so I washed her butt, blowed her dry and gave her ivermectin. She got a poopy butt again within two days. The last two nights I had to put her in the coop. I wonder now if she could not get up the ramp...
Just for laughs let's share chicken and animal things we never thought we would do, and people without animals would never understand. What have you done that lives up to you might be a red neck if???

I have a ten day old barred rock from hatchery eggs that I need to see if I am right on gender as the bird needs a hobbiest or culled since the right leg does not work and I could not get it straightened. Scrappy little thing, but lame and will get attacked in my flock.
Hi, I hatched some eggs I bought. There were RIR, Barred rocks, Welsummer, and silkies. I have two chicks that don't look like any of those. Any guesses. I pictured one of the two with a Welsummer for a comparison. The chick in question is on the left.
