So I got this little girl (I'm assuming she's a girl until that comb gets a little bigger) in Tractor Supply Co. with their bantam assortment and she's the only one out of the bunch that I still can't figure out. At first I thought she could be a modern game hen since she's so lanky but with...

I'm starting to think #4 may be a D'Uccle, it seems like it has a muff to go with its feather feet.

Oh I figured the pasty butt was just because it's a youngun, I'm mainly worried about its bareness. Also, I'm confused, is this a different 'what breed or gender is this?' forum?

I just got five bantie chicks from the assorted bantams at Tractor Supply Co. and I need a little help narrowing down which breeds they are. I have a few ideas but it's hard to be certain. #1: I'm thinking this one could be a Cochin because it's hella feather-legged. Like seriously, it's a...

One of my hens has gone broody and hatched her first brood this week. She had a few of her own eggs (she's a golden-laced wyandotte), two from the easter egger, and then two from our bantam bwc polish hen. The catch is that the father is the proud, surly RIR roo, Moses, that's staring you down...

For reference, here's my 3 1/2 month cream legbar cockerel. They look very similar!

Hmm.....if that's the case then I'm stumped

My guess would be an easter egger, they have that chipmunk pattern

It looks like a cream legbar cockerel to me!

So here are the wyandottes, the top on is the one sitting This is the proud father: The Easter egger in question: And the lovely, talented Henrietta:

Sooo one of my wyandottes went broody and we decided to let her sit this time. She has 8 fertile eggs under her: 4 from her and her sister, 2 from our Easter egger, and then 2 from our bantam polish hen, all sired by our RIR rooster, Moses. I'm excited to see what all of the babies will look...

I have her some whole milk and she slurped it down, Ill try yogurt today!

Update: We let her stay inside last night and she was eating very well but still refused to drink water. I had to use a syringe to get her to drink and she was still unable to keep her head up, so we took her to our local vet who checked her over and pinpointed that it was definitely something...

Green poop can be an indicator for E. coli as well, but I'm with you on heat exhaustion. Her dropping are mostly normal colors now with little green bits. We did give the flock some of our excess herbs yesterday around 7, but I wasn't sure if they would stay in her digestive tract all the way...

Heat exhaustion sounds a whole lot better than E. coli or Marek's!! I live in Alabama and we've definitely been having a hot, humid Summer even by our own standards. Can exhaustion cause the green poop?

Update: now that she's had something to eat, her poop is starting to look like a bright green snake wrapped around normal droppings. Here's a picture:

This is where I have her for now. That's how she keeps laying, with her neck extended in front

Update: She has eaten some food mixed with mashed egg yolk and I gave her little bit of whole milk which she seems to enjoy. Her comb is starting to get its color back too. However she still doesn't have the same energy she usually does, and I'm still worried about the poop!

This morning I noticed one of my Easter Egger acting sleepy and tired. I didn't think much of it then, since a few other birds were lying down for a nap. However, it's been a few hours and I just went back out to find her asleep again. It could just be coincidence, but I thought it best to...

That's wonderful! Slowly but surely I'm becoming more keen on Easter eggers. Thank you for your help!
