Hi ! I'm having some troubles with my 17~ weeks Marans. 2 weeks ago, I perched her in the coop and her head dropped below her, and she vomited some yellowish mucus. I checked her immediately and her crop was and squishy and full of liquid. I thought right away that it was a sour crop. I took...

Edit: I'm in Quebec, Canada Hello! I went to see the girls today and one of them seems to have an issue that she didn't have yesterday. It is an almost 4 years old hen (Plymouth Barred rock type), that had many issues in her life (she's blind to begin with, has a missing claw on a toe, last...

Hi guys! So, I got 2 Black Copper Marans yesterday. 2 pullets from a reputable breeder. On seems to be a cocker maybe? I find the comb bigger and more developed, but maybe it's in my head. Bot the breeder fault, it's a possibility, they are still very young. They are 11 weeks old. It's totally...

Hi good company! This morning I went to collecty eggs and I encountered the most surprising blue egg that my Easter egger ever laid. I'm wondering what could be the cause of this? I know that the blue is due to a different cellular pattern in those chickens, originating from molecule working...

Hello ! I hatched in May several chicks, including 4 Marans eggs. Out of the 4, there's one that I'm still not sure if it's a pullet or a cockerel. The 2 brothers in the batch are very obvious, as is the small pullet. 2 weeks ago I would have said that it's a pullet. Last week the crest was...

Hello hello! I have 6 baby Uccle, 2 different age. Among my youngers, there's one that I cannot decide if it's a boy or a girl. What do you guys think? Her/His brother is very obviously a brother 🙃 Edit: I added 2 last picture: the porcelain one is the brother. The other Mille-fleurs is a pullet

Hello guys! I finished a hatch on Sunday. Saturday, I helped a chick out of the shell. Very feisty one that wants to live. It drinks and eats, but have a bad leg. Got another one with similar problem that I was able to fix with a splint. The splint didn't help this little Faverolles however...

Hi guys My 3 Anconas are now 8 weeks old. I'm trying to sex them, since my Wheaten Marans were a big fail (all male). Need to vaccinate the pullet soon, but I need to know which one is which first ;) What do you think of those? 3 first are the same chick. - Probably nake with the comb and a...

Hi guys So, one of my hen has been broody all summer, with short breaks. I decided to give her some eggs, since we wanted to add new hens to our small flock. She incubated 6 eggs for 21 days successfully. The chicks are now 16 days old. Everybody is doing fine. The mother is raising them...

Hi I have a funny situation here. I have a young hen (almost 26 weeks old) that doesn't lay yet (Hybrid between ameraucana and merlan). I know that she doesn't lay because she will lay blue eggs, which I don't have at the moment. Anyway. My 6 others hens are laying regularly (once a day, or...

Hi guys We're new to hens but did our homeworks and research a bit before acquiring our hens. Long story short: we had 7 hens for 4 weeks (now 23 weeks old). One of the hens was supposed to lay blue eggs, turns out that they are brown (she's an hybrid). The lady from whome they come then told...
