Hi, I have two Mille Fluer d'Uccle chicks and I am not quite sure on their gender, as I am not experienced with this breed. Thanks! :) Here is the first chick: And this is the second one:

Hi, I have an about 2 1/2 week old chick that has started to look unwell today. All of my chicks including this one were fine until today, when I found him lying down on his legs, unable to stand or walk. I have him in a set up, in case it is splay leg and so he is sitting up. Does this be...

Hi, I was wondering if there are any other options for keeping chicks warm using something other than a heat lamp? I have been doing some research, and was considering a seedling plant mat? Those say they are waterproof, and they sound like they might work. Or chick heating plates like this...

Hi, I have some questions on respiratory infections. I have four chickens that have been showing symptoms of a respiratory infection and their symptoms include sneezing and clear discharge running through their nostrils. Two of them have had raspy sounding breathing, but it goes off and on...

Hi, A few days ago I noticed that my bantam Cochin was carrying his wing weird. After observing, I realized that there was definitely something wrong with it. It is hanging very low, and looks very much like it is not connected to the body! My guess that it is either broken, or dislocated. I...

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my cockerel's eye lid was closed, almost like it was swollen (but I don't believe that it was ever swollen shut.) and I was not sure why. I separated him from the rest of the flock, because chickens can sometimes be a little brutal when there is any sort of...

I am currently searching for some more natural takes on treating chickens ( mainly respiratory issues) and heard that Poultry VetRx can be used, especially for respiratory issues, scaly legs, and eye worms. I was wondering if anyone has ever used it, and if it worked well. Thanks, and any input...

I have a hen that has gotten very wheezy/ rattly breathing and after a few days I figured it might be a respiratory infection. However, I decided to watch her, in case she just had dust in her nostrils or something like that. But after a few more days, her breathing did not get any better and my...

Hi, I noticed that my hen is making these coughing/wheezing sounds when she breathes. I am not able to get a video of it at the moment, but I will try my best to describe it. She also has just started sneezing today, and she has clear discharge coming from her nostrils. I noticed her breathing...

I recently inquired some Bantam Cochins and was curious about their colors. From what I can tell, two look like brown- red but I am not sure about the others. I am still new to this breed, so I don't know all of the recognized colors. Thanks for any input! :) This one is the rooster, I am...

Hi, so I am looking for good bantam breeds to own. It came down to Silkies, Frizzled Polish and Bantam Cochins. Would any of these breeds go well together? And if not, I am also open to just owning one of these breeds. I would love to hear any of your experiences with these breeds! Thanks! :)

Hi, today I got a chicken from a neighbor and was wondering if anyone knows what her breed is? They found this chicken in their yard and they don't know what the breed is either. I am still new to chicken breeds, and only really know the more common breeds and colors ( And I have been working...

I was wondering if this could be used to treat scaly leg mites? It says it treats mites, fleas and ticks but it didn't say if it could be used on the legs. Thanks! :)

Hello, I am looking into buying a bantam breed that is good for showing. I do showing in 4-H and I currently have Sebrights. However, even though I love Sebrights, I want to get a different chicken breed to show. Does anyone recommend a certain bantam breed that you had some good experiences...

Hi, I have just acquired some Guinea eggs to hatch but I need an incubator. The only incubator I have does not work well, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to make an incubator that works well. I have heard of some people successfully making them, so I thought it would be worth a shot...

I just got 10 new chicks and 2 ducklings. We went there only for chicks, but when we heard that they had got Call ducks last minute, we succumbed to the need for more poultry. :plbb Here they are, we got 5 pairs of different breeds, 6 including ducks!

Hi, I have a chick that we hatched that is almost 2 months old. Would anyone be able to tell the gender and the breed of this chick? We are thinking that it is a hen and it is a Serama/Sebright mix, but we are not sure. I have a Sebright pair, but we used to also keep a Serama pair, and we sold...

I realized that I never did this introduction, so why not do it now? (Even though I joined 2 months ago! :lau) (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got my chickens in January, but I have been showing one of my friend's for years. (2) How many chickens do you...

I did a little chicken photo shoot and thought I would share some of my favorites! :)

So, we hatched this chick but we are not exactly sure what his breed is. We are thinking it is a Serama but we are not sure.:confused: We have sebrights and seramas and the breeder we got them from had sebrights and seramas together. Does this look like a serama or is it some other breed? Thanks! :)
