    Sadly that’s what I was thinking too :( I wanted to be hopeful as the other rooster develops so much earlier :(

    8 week old bantam cochins

    I have 6 mixed bantam cochins, I’m pretty sure I already know and have assumed genders since they were very young but I just wanted some others opinions I’m mostly not positive about #2 as I have a clear rooster and a few clear hens they are almost 9 weeks old Number 1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

    Sick chicks

    Crops are empty in the morning and feed in brought inside every night 😞 I really appreciate any help! They are drinking well, when they go down hill they stop eating but continue to drink

    Sick chicks

    The poop goes from normal to runny within a day of their passing (at least that I’ve noticed) Weather has been pretty hot but like 80-90’s

    Sick chicks

    They have a full coop to themselves, they are tucked in (locked up) every night and in the run during the day, but have access to the inside of their coop at all times. I am treating with Corid the 9.6 liquid and am treating with 2 tables spoons per gallon. I am changing the water every day...

    Barnevelder x black Ameraucana

    I do have black and blue ameraucanas and have never had a blue chick hatch from any of my black hens. The barnevelder is the only hen in that coop that lays a tan egg so it has to have come from her. Those are definitely the two parents and again I know the roosters lineage for many generations...

    Barnevelder x black Ameraucana

    He’s my only rooster with her and there is no escaping or free ranging, definitely came from him I’ve been breeding true ameraucanas for years the blacks do produce blue especially when bred to a blue hen with my ameraucanas he usually has 50/50 blue and black chicks which is very typical for...

    Barnevelder x black Ameraucana

    I’m really not sure where the blue came from 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I was just more asking if the chick would end up being solid or if it would end up with lacing. The blue I’m guessing came from the dad since true black ameraucanas can come from two blue parents or a blue and a black parent

    The hen is from a hatchery so her coloring might be weird 😂

    Barnevelder x black Ameraucana

    He is a black ameraucana all of his chicks have been black other than a few blues when bred to a blue ameraucana which is typical. The chick looks to be a blue no yellow tint to it I’m guessing that part is the lighting. The rooster is from show lines so I know he is pure especially with all of...
