I know this is probably a long-shot but thought I'd post anyway. I'm in Rochester NY and have 2 cockerels (approx 2.5 months old) that I can't keep. One blue-laced wyandotte and one lavender orpington. They are not mean. The orpington is pretty shy of people. The wyandotte is less shy but is not...

I keep telling my husband we might end up with a house rooster :lol:

Damn.. well thank you so much for confirming, and the info about the comb, because that was weird to me. Wish he wasn't a cockerel. He's super sweet and I can't keep roosters lol

Yeah I have a second one that has a normal wyandotte colmb, which is why I assumed this one was a roo

I've been thinking this is a cockerel, but wanted to get another opinion. He's about 2 months old. What do you think? Most of his tail feathers are gone from some of the others (I think he accidentally broke a pin feather and it snowballed from there)

She was actually named after a character in the Fruits Basket anime about the chinese zodiac. Kagura the boar Maybe I just think she has longer tail feathers because she keeps pulling the others' feathers out :hmm

Got chicks at Runnings about 2 months ago, was told that the Easter Eggers were all female, but I wanted a second opinion on this one. "Her" name is Kagura and she's a huge pain in the ass (a bit of a bully). I noticed today that her tail feathers seem to be longer than the others and kinda...

one of my chicks (~8 wks old) was found to have a bleeding tail feather yesterday. I put some stiptic powder on it to stop the bleeding and some peck-no-more because at least 2 of his coopmates had blood on their beaks. Even with the pick-no-more, it's still being pecked at and re-opened. I...

We aren't going to be keeping all of them. 4 were straight-run and we already think we have 2 roos, we're just waiting for them to crow/lay an egg to be sure. They're only ~7 weeks old so their coop/run is large enough right now. They have perches in the run and the coop (pics below, perch in...

Yes, it's hard to see. :( I'm hoping for the best for her

Their normal diet is Chick Starter Medicated Crumbles (18% protein). I have 9 chicks, all the same age, their coop is 3'x'5' and their run is 5'x11-12' (my husband built it, not sure actual length but they have plenty of room right now). They've been in the coop for the last 2 weeks and have...

That sounds a lot like EYP. I don't think there's much you can do, but maybe google to see, or maybe other users here have suggestions. In the past, I've stuck a (gloved) finger in the vent to try and help the hen pass some of the built-up fluids (I don't think they tend to push stool out with...

What does her poop look like? I've had a couple hens that looked/acted like that, that were suffering from egg yolk peritonitis. Their poop was generally yellow-ish, very runny, and smelled horrible. Does she seem to be breathing hard/with her mouth open? If so, it could be fluids/infection...

My chicks are about 6.5-7 weeks old and I noticed yesterday that one of my easter eggers, Esther, really doesn't have any feathers on her back. I'm not able to get a picture of that until maybe later, but I picked her up yesterday and moved her wings and I don't even really see very many pin...

Thanks! Yes we moved them out on Sunday after spending all day Saturday giving the coop a good scrub. It was beautiful Sunday so we actually had them in the run for a few hours (didn't get them in there until around 3pm) before having to catch them and put them in the coop. Their automatic...

I've read a bunch of the other posts about moving chicks outside and I just want to make sure I'm not forgetting anything important, since these are our first baby chicks. They're currently 4.5-5 weeks old, and we're in Rochester NY. My husband wants them out of the house because of the amount...

This is the best side shot I could get

Yes they are in our house in our spare bedroom. Thank you for your advice!

The tub/brooder we have is made of steel and is 2'x4'. The chick is about 4 weeks old. Pic is attached, it's from when we first got them, though, so ignore how small the chick in that picture is (and we no longer have the white/red waterer in there, just the feeder and that black bucket for...

Thanks! The room we have them in doesn't have the best lighting for pictures.
