She barely hold her head like in the second picture, most of the time her head is way down on her belly turned like in first picture. I don't have vitamin E, Bs or selenium, I can't get them. Is there some food she can have that may help her? Or it won't get better without vitamins and selenium...
I've done everything that is suggested, baths, calcium, oil after bath, massages, warm and dark place but nothing changed. I've managed to get her to poop. She mostly stays in one place, comb is nice and red, she eats and drinks good. I can see and feel the egg if I try to push it out. She had...
Black legs with white soles bred to any breed with yellow legs produce legs with what color? Does the skin genes W-white dominant and w - yellow play some role in leg color incuding soles or no? Thanks
I will build in future cage that looks similar to this and I was thinking is it ok if the height of single section is 50cm or 55cm. 2ft to me is not good because If I make it 2ft that equals to 180cm + room for cleaning trays(10cm x 3(legs on bottom)). It would be for standards.

I was reading on here about cons of adding light during winter days(I won't do it, I am just learning about chickens) and someone said that light doesn't help to produce more eggs but instead it just gets them 'empty' of eggs faster because hens have certain number of eggs during their lifetime...
I tried to find info on citron colored sebright and only thing I found was if you create a sexlink - Male Gold laced and female Silver laced, you get gold laced females and citron males or reverse Silver male and gold female where you get silver females and citron males. Now are those males...
I was curious, what breeds were used to make these super layers? Only thing I found was that other light breeds were used for leghorns but not specified.
I looked up on few sites and I all of them said different things. One said that stinging nettle is around 20-30% in protein which I find unbelivable. Is it really that high in protein, how much it actually has? Is it good for chickens? Thanks
I kniw he has many not good qualities but I was wondering can he be used for mating with better females and produce better bird than himself? He has barely over 2 kgs, wrong eye color, larger wattles and comb that is bad as you can see. What do you think? Thanks.
Are they separate german breed or just bersion/sub breed or Plymouth rocks(Barred)? There are alot info on here and alot more different answers. Thanks
He is 5 months old, he had red comb from early age. I always thought he is male but never seen any saddles or hackles. He is on smaller size and mixed breed. I saw these saddles just coming in and I was wondering if they look like male ones or females since their tips are round looking. Thanks
