I had no idea dominant coppers weren’t a fancy word for BCMs! I got one(dominant copper) last year and she was completely black with thick leg feather up until she hit 6 months, then she started developing red around her eyes ♥️
I always thought BSLs were only barred rock crossed with RIR...
I mean the bottom of the feet. That’s how you can tell australorp and jersey giants apart; the bottom of the feet for Aust is pink, bottom of Jerseys is yellow. The legs and top of the foot are black ♥️
Just to confirm my belief; this IS an australorp, right? She had the pink feet, black feathers and egg color but she looks so much different then my old australorp.
She was given to me as a black sex link but based off the lack of red I’m guessing they got her mislabeled. Her name is Mighty...

Idk- it changes. Usually alt/grunge if I decide to try.
Birds, specifically Ravens, shoebills or greater vasa.
I’m not sure who to tag, I don’t check my friend list often
That’s so sweet 🥹 my SFHs, SF and Brahma are the only ones who do that for me. I’m trying to gain the trust of the new girls and the old girls don’t care about me anymore

WARNING; slight graphic descriptions)...
I’ve heard that can be super painful :( I used to until I heard more about it. We’re contemplating dropping her off at the vet but it’s 60$ so it’s a hard choice. Worst comes to worst I’ll call up a friend to do the… other way. But thank you ♥️
The CBD is made for dogs, which I’ve looked into and found safe for chickens as well. Is that not true?
She did but not now. She used to lay massive eggs which is likely the cause… I found out her prolapse has gone fully necrotic so there’s nothing we can do anymore
Okay I gave her a half dropper of childrens Motrin. If she survives the night I’m going to call the vet and ask how much it would be to treat it. If it’s too much I’m going to see how much it’ll be to euthanize (it was 117$ last time but I don’t know if they checked her first for illness or not)...
It seems she is much too far gone. I tried nudging it in gently whenever she took a breath in and she keeps gasping a TON and can hardly stand. She had a warm 30 minute epsom salt soak before it and I rubbed hydrocortisone all over it before trying. It seems the best I can do is give her CBD and...
