They are about 8-9 weeks

Too soon to tell cockerel vs pullet? I got a group of six chicks from Alchemist Farms. 2 are sexed pullets, 1 I’m pretty sure a pullet and then these three are through me off. #1 and #3 are the moss eggers. I think #3 might be a pullet and #1 a cockerel. #1 is smaller than #3 and it’s comb and...

I was really hopeful for the last one 😭 they are about 5 months old

First photo is most definitely a rooster and more than likely keeping him because of the beautiful grey coming in. Now the second/third photo I’m confused on gender. Looks like a hen to me but someone mentioned rooster. Any thoughts?

I ended up putting Vetericyn eye ointment around the eyes and within a few days they healed up.

So I got two brahams from a local breeder and was told both are pullets. However fast forward a month; I think my gold laced Brahma is a rooster! I swear I see saddle feathers coming in. Thoughts?

Hello, My flock has been going through fowl pox for the past month. One in particular has it really bad around her eyes. One eye is completely shut and the other is slightly swollen with both having the scabs. Any advice in applying any topical treatment? I’ve been letting everyone run it’s...

She sneezes and noticed a small amount of discharge. No no gasping and no foam anywhere.

Yes she’s in quarantine. Where can I get tylan? I can’t find it in any feed store where I’m from and when I go online it requires a prescription from a vet.

Hello, I have recently gotten a 16 week old Americana chicken from a breeder and the second day I noticed she sounded congested. Other then that she’s, eating, drinking and poop looks normal. I have contacted the Breeder and she’s willing to exchange but I want to try to treat her. She’s an...

I’ll have to get some tablets tomorrow morning. I inserted my finger in her vent and didn’t feel an egg. He vent kinda pinkish and again keeps pulsating likes she is trying to poop. She has been pooping though, so makes me think she isn’t egg bound possibly?

I have a premade gallon of water with corid about a teaspoon and half. She hasn’t laid any eggs yetsince I’ve had her (had her since she was 4 months old) And her crop feels normal. She’s eating and it’s emptying normal as well. I’ll have to feel inside for an egg.

I have a 6 month old buff orphington that I found on her side 2 days ago. She was very weak and was closing her eyes. I thought for sure I was gonna lose her. However I loaded her up on some nutridrech got some food and water in her and tried to figure out what was going on. I put a potty pad...

So he has definitely improved. Much more active however still wobbly and wings lowered. I give him vitamins twice a day and an egg. My concern really lies with mareks. His symptoms started almost 2 months ago. If it was mareks wouldn’t he already have passed? I’ve treated for the worms so I’m...

I feel like he is declining again. He is laying down more and very wobbly when he is walking. Still eating and drinking. Been giving him vitamin B complex and electrolytes.

Awesome! Thank you!

Now that I think about it, yeah he has. Would that cause to irritation?

Warm yes, but doesn’t seem to be swollen around the general area. You can see the red and around the feather follicle it’s very red and swollen.

Oh maybe! I just searched it here on the sights and that’s what I found 🤷🏻‍♀️

My first year with chickens so I’m fairly new to this. The stripe down the leg I’ve heard to be hormonal since his is a rooster? I gave him an epson salt bath and put him in his run to sunbathe. He is still skinny too from I’m assuming the worms but I feel like he has gained a little of it...
