Of course not - jump in! Do you want to add some pictures to see if anyone can help? We are sure our "twins" are pullets and if the colour of the comb and wattles being orange rather than red is an indicator, then our chick in question is a pullet too.She is very peachy/orange. Good luck with...

Thank you - so much to learn :-)

Thank you - not what I wanted to hear . May I ask what you are basing this on?

Hi all. I have 3 SLW chicks that we bought as fertilised eggs and hatched with our broody Orpington. I tried feather sexing them at a day old (http://animalsciences.missouri.edu/reprod/ReproTech/Feathersex/sld006.htm) and they all had long primary feathers, so I hoped, if this method could...

Thank you . I get so cross when people say "it's just a chicken". They are wonderful birds with personality plus

Thank you for asking. Sadly we lost her yesterday. She just got worse until she was flipping all over the place and her head was twisted right around the wrong way. She lost control of her legs completely. So very sad and distressing. I guess we have learned a lot and should recognize the...

I have had a good look at her ears and I don't think they are swollen. The ear canals are a yellow colour and seem clear - no discharge and the covering feathers aren't matted or sticky. I now have Vitamin E drops and selenium powder capsules, so she has had her first dose in a tuna, egg and...

Thank you so much . Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery!

Hi again. Our Rock has now had a big ramekin of tuna, egg and a multi vitamin tonic (including Vitamin E). She seemed very hungry, although she has been eating her mash etc. I am off out shortly to buy some straight Vitamin E. I have also isolated her now, but within sight of her sister and the...

Thanks for the responses! She is still with us this morning so I will see about some extra vitamins and some food high in selenium. She is up and about and eating her mash, but still from the side of her beak. Thanks again for the advice - very much appreciated

Hi - new to this so hope I can get some help. I have a young Plymouth Rock pullet that is about 14-16 weeks old. A couple of days ago she appeared to have a spot of blood to the rear of her eye and her eye was closed. Yesterday I noticed she was holding her head on one side and was eating from...
