Does this look like a parasite or something else? I just got this out of the brooder of my 5 day olds. One had passed for “failure to thrive” no other symptoms. All eating, active, Drinking as normal. All seem to be growing
I know mine may be a cross. I’m just curious what is red w green tail and yellow ruff. I can try to get good pics today but they are mid molt so it won’t be very effective.
Can anyone tell me what type of rooster this is? I have one that looks exactly like this, his markings are very clear and even so I don’t think it’s a mix. But he came from a batch of what was supposed to be JJ at TS. It was an end of season sale so I think several groups had been put together...

I have a small (silkie or bantam mix maybe) egg that I can’t find anything to answer my question. It’s one of 3 that pipped but had stopped chirping. My humidity was low so I gave them each a tiny breathing hole (just chipped pip point carefully) - this one had a drop of fluid come out. So I...
