Like any mom or grandma, you have count toes on new babies. So, my a Cochin babies are odd. I have 3 babies. All have fuzzy legs. 1 has 5 toes. Never really looked at the adult chickens, but I read that Cochins do NOT have 5 toes. *Scrathing head*
Not sure. I rescued several game hens. I was told one was a Miner Blue. I have three more that look like this girl. I know nothing about game birds. I have egg layers.
I had a couple of coughing chickens and got an antibiotic from the vet. Now it seems that one chicken stops coughing and two more start. It has now made its way back to the first chicken. I bought this from the feed store and have read a million (I exaggerate) posts about dosage. All my chickens...
I have a flock of 21 chickens. I have 4 that are coughing(?). They have a bit of a runny nose/beak and one has watery eyes. I got some antibiotics from the vet. I am treating the individual chickens with a syringe. However, this "cold" seems to clear with one chicken and then pop up in another...
Love all these chicken names. I have...

I got 3 "hens" exactly like that! LOL Had to change names too. Appalonia changed to Oliver. Olivia changed to Ferdinand. Still can't get a 3rd name. Right now, "her" name is rooster.
Thanks! I didn't really want the extra roosters, but I'm ok as long as there is no bullying on the playground. Brings me to my next bird.... because now I need to know.....Hen or rooster? Supposed to be a Black Copper Marans hen.
