    Swollen Hock, Strange neck position

    Rooster or Hen??

    We had these three chicks... --Brown --Black/brown --Yellow/mottled We initially thought the black/brown and brown were both hens because they seemed shaped like hens with hen like tails. The yellow chick had the shape of a rooster. Now they all look the opposite to me of those genders now...

    Sick Chicken? Rattling?

    Hi all, We are new to chicken diseases but have had chickens for over a year now. Here’s the situation. We own three chickens and we got three more recently. They are in the same pen now but are separate from each other. All of them came from the same local farmer. There is a cream leg bar in...
