    Polish Horns?

    Can the pullets/hens have horns? I thought just the roosters had that type of comb but I have an 18wk old bird that has horns.

    Crazy Chick

    Update: She is hopefully a she. After a week in isolation I put her back out with the others and her attitude settled down. Her huge comb was always fire engine red and stayed that way. She got red wattles early too. I was prepared at 10 weeks to start seeing feather evidence but that never...

    Bantam Silkied Cochins, anyone else have one?

    I happened to pick up some eggs from a wonderful family that breeds these special little creatures. At the time, I didn’t know how uncommon they were. I am not talking about a cross/mix but a Bantam Cochin with the hookless feather gene that breeds true. I am not sure where her flock began but...

    What is going on with this BC Maran?

    This is a 7 week old BC Maran. My question is what is going on with it’s feathers? It is hard to photograph but they almost look frizzled. The shaft is extremely fine, the feathers curl and seem fuzzy. Has anyone had a bird like this? Does this go away with maturity?

    Ameraucana gender game!

    Sorry tried to edit the order and it deleted them. It insists on posting them in reverse order but they are all labeled.

    Ameraucana gender game!

    These are 7wk old Lavender/self blue Ameraucanas hatched from shipped eggs. All but one hatched from the pointiest eggs I think the breeder could find and while it’s a wives tale, I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Let me know what you think. Also they have been very slow to feather and...

    Crazy Chick

    It’s Meyer Hatchery so they do have a 100% guarantee on sexing. I have to call them between 10 and 22 weeks for my money back. I cross my fingers but she is just an odd bird. She began pulling hair out of the dogs back while sitting next to him. She does love to be handled though and will perch...

    Crazy Chick

    I just like to add this. I moved her inside. She incessantly chirps like a cricket.

    Crazy Chick

    Good to know! I think it is more neurotic than straight out aggressive. I separated it and it has been throwing itself at the bars for five hours now. I have no plans to breed it. just wanted some pretty brown eggs. I am concerned it is a cockerel though, in which case no eggs and the Hatchery...

    Crazy Chick

    What makes you say that, the comb, because I had the same thought? It was vent sexed by Meyer Hatchery so there’s that. 🤷‍♀️ In my favor it does have a long tail.

    Crazy Chick

    Meet Magpie, she is a sexed (80%) four week old Black Copper Maran. Magpie hasn’t met another chick she can’t pester. This behavior doesn’t seem overly aggressive which is why it took me a day or two to figure out who it was. She just looks over and plucks or pecks whom ever is close by. It...

    4 week old with possible prolapse

    I am 90% sure it is vent pecking vs prolapse. She is the smallest and most docile of the group. I have separated, cleaned and treated the area. The 13 chicks are eating Purina medicated and getting hard boiled egg hand fed daily. I added a video of the injured chick and the area I am keeping...

    4 week old with possible prolapse

    Help! This 4 week old Cochin has a bloody bottom. I believe is a prolapsed vent. No pasty but or anything prior to finding her like this. I separated her but she also wants to pick at it. Since she is only a few weeks it didn’t want to take the normal epsom salt bath route without getting some...
