    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    The first one was our bully wyandott and the second was a legbar hen. I suppose the legbar would be considered a hybrid. I hadn't thought of putting electrolytes in the water, I was just changing out their water with cold well water. I do have electrolytes, I will have to do that next time the...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    Wisconsin chicken people. I lost 2 of my birds in four days from 2 different pens. The first one I chalked up to the 103 toasting we got over Memorial weekend, the the last one was this afternoon. Was hiding yesterday, and I separated her and made sure she had nice clean water and extra food...

    She seems fine other than her tiny package size.

    Comment by 'Wagging Tail Ranch' in article 'How I've raised muscovy ducklings with natural incubation'

    We love our Muscovies! Our drake is the biggest comedian and always entertaining. He was hatched under a broody chicken with a few others. We tried to raise them "properly" but they were so precocious that we just gave up. I had them in a wooden brooder box and at 2 days old they climbed right...

    Stunted baby chick

    Here'a a photo of the chick and the difference in size. They are all getting the same feed which is a high quality medicated feed. She came smaller from the hatchery at 3 weeks but never really started growing. I am wondering if the Merak's vaccine they give them can do this?

    Stunted baby chick

    Hi All, I have a baby Cream legbar hen that quit growing at about 3 weeks. It is feathering out, acting healthy, running with the others but VERY small, the size they were at 3-4 weeks and they are now 6 weeks old. Has anyone had this happen where an apparently healthy chick quits growing...

    1 week old with odd growth near vent

    Wow, that is strange. Are you sure it is a pullet and not a cockeral with it's plumbing outdoors instead of indoors?

    Easter egger hen or rooster?

    I have a couple of EE from last year that were bantams. I don't know if it holds true with all of them but when they were a week or two old, the partridge ones, and the yellow ones with the chipmunk stripes and eyeliner turned out to be pullets. The ones that were mostly white or grey [even if...

    Cocci

    I just lost my 3 baby chicks in the last 24 hours. I believe it was cocci since I found two dead with little spots of blood around the brooder. They seemed fine the day before but dead by morning. The last one seemed fine this morning just a little quieter. We started the Corrid yesterday within...

    Mille Fleur D'Uccle 4 weeks Pullet or Cockerel?

    This is my porcelain from Cackle. He was no where near the prettiest of the boys. I kept him because I re-homed the others to people who were going to breed. He isn't breeding quality and neither were the hens I kept.

    Mille Fleur D'Uccle 4 weeks Pullet or Cockerel?

    This is my 5 week old Mille Fleur. Sometimes, you can tell by attitude almost immediately. When I take photos the roos are consistently standing facing the camera, the hens always seem to hide. I forgot that. With my porcelains, the boys were obvious by 3 weeks because of the combs. I had a...

    Mille Fleur D'Uccle 4 weeks Pullet or Cockerel?

    I'm so relieved, I have a 5 week old from my favorite litte Mille Fleur roo and his girl. Hermie passed away 6 weeks ago. I took a chance and incubated Belle's egg and got a sweet little chick. After looking at these, I am pretty darn sure she's a pullet! YAY! Hermie was the sweetest roo ever!.

    Several birds ill with different symptoms over the last two weeks

    Where can I get Tylan? I don't even know where to get meds for my chickens and because of the holiday everyone is gone. You don't think the Terramycin will work on the chickens? I know the Ducks you are not supposed to give meds too but they don't seem to be sick, we just find them dead.
