    Rooster - swollen foot

    My neighbor has a rooster that has definitely been attacked by something. He is missing a lot of tail feathers. He is 8 years old. She noticed a problem when he didn't come out of the house one day (about 10 days ago). He had no balance and was falling forward. We put him in a dog crate in the...

    Plymouth white rocks + Buff Orpington= Barred rocks?

    Didn't realize the computer auto corrected wing to ring... lol.. It will be interesting to see what happens. I've hatched out other buff chicks and white chicks, but this will obviously be my first cross.. It will be fun to see what happens as them mature. I'll try to remember to post pictures...

    Plymouth white rock chicks with black striping in wings?

    It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Thought it was odd because I thought with the White rocks that the white WAS the recessive gene and basically only gene, therefore bringing out the white in the chicken. Just found it funny that it now appears that I have some black striping back...

    Plymouth white rock chicks with black striping in wings?

    They are all in a shared coop and free range together. So striping on the wings (and potentially more) are because it is a cross breed with the Buff?

    Plymouth white rock chicks with black striping in wings?

    Just hatched out 10 chicks from my stock which includes Buff Orpingtons and Plymouth White Rocks. 4 chicks were born with a black dot on their heads and have now developed black/white striping on their wings. They are just a week old today. I thought the white gene WAS the recessive gene and...

    Plymouth white rocks + Buff Orpington= Barred rocks?

    Recently hatched 10 chicks. Have 3 roosters. 2 Buff orpingtons and 1 Plymouth white rock. Have hens of both breeds too. It seems there are 2-3 barred rocks in the babies. I thought PWR rooster and hens would lead to more white rocks? Curious how I would get barred rocks with two white parents...

    Broody hatched 4 chicks, can I get her to adopt the ones I hatched in the incubator?

    Hi everyone! Have a couple of broody hens that seemed to share the responsibility to get our eggs to the 21 day mark. Two hatched on Thursday, 2 more on Friday. Saturday the hen got off the remaining eggs and took care of her chicks, teaching them to eat and drink, but abandoned the remaining...

    My little 11 day old runt buff oprington,

    I had a runt with my first group of 24 chickens 3 years ago, and she did just fine... I did keep her separated for a few weeks with another smaller baby (because she was a little weak at first too) but she ended up being very active. I have a couple of runts in my group now of 19, three because...

    URGENT REQUEST!!!!! Lost 8 chicks :'( NEED ADVICE...

    Eggsoteric, I am SO sorry for your loss. I DO remember the cold snap, so sometimes we just can't predict the temperatures..and sadly enough, these little one sure are susceptible to the shipping stress.. Interestingly enough, on my first shipment of 24, I only lost 1 and it was DOA. I too had...
