    M or F on these 4.5 month old Polish?

    Both you think? They looked it to me but the assertive behavior of the one made me question it.

    M or F on these 4.5 month old Polish?

    Hi folks. I picked these 2 up as chicks on April 2nd. One seems protective of the other and the silkie (not pictured). It frequently runs up to me and starts pecking my foot. Looking online, I was told to look at feathers, if they are pointed or rounded on the head. They look rounded to me...

    Chicken puking green and diarrhea

    That is a lot of great advice and I will keep this bookmarked should I need to refer to it again. Unfortunately, we are leaving town on vacation thats been planned for 6 months. I'm not sure what Ill do yet, but the elderly relatives that will be feeding the flock won't be able to handle any...

    Vent gleet? Or just poor hygiene?

    Same, but that post was before the vomiting, green discharge, and before I cleaned her up ruling out flystrike... no maggots. I can't figure out how to delete this older post.

    Chicken puking green and diarrhea

    Hey folks, pretty sure I know how this will turn out but let me get some opinions. In the last week 1 hen has been lethargic, not eating much unless its a favorite food. Still jumps up onto perch to roost at night. Had a messy bottom for several days but honestly I haven't been home to clean...

    Vent gleet? Or just poor hygiene?

    Hello folks. I was hoping for some knowledgeable advice. One of my 5 older chickens, Penny, recently started acting strange. Not socializing with others, sitting by herself, seemed lethargic, comb seemed dry. She's still enthusiastically eating tho, particularly egg shells that they get...

    Fowl Pox or Bullying (update with 2 more pics)

    I made changes to the feeding situation this morning, and even slid the small hen her own dish. She did start eating, at least a bit before I walked away. I'm hoping you are right. I had no idea was Fowl Pox was before posting on here, but now I'm going to be extra vigilant in case the others...

    Fowl Pox or Bullying (update with 2 more pics)

    Ok, thank you. I will order the Oxine today. No idea how I'm going manage to police up everything considered "hot debris" in a coop like that, but I'll try.

    Fowl Pox or Bullying (update with 2 more pics)

    Edit: got 2 pictures of one hen on the roost tonight with bloody comb. Does that happen with fowl pox? This all seemed pretty sudden. Hello all. I have 5 backyard hens between 1.5 and 4 years old. I was home this weekend and I thought it seemed like there was more bickering than should have...

    Bantam Frizzle hen or rooster?

    Hello folks. We added 4 new chicks a few months ago, making them about 3 months and 1 week old. Unfortunately, the Crested Polish was a rooster, but I'm having a bit of trouble identifying this frizzle. No arching tail yet. The unusual feathers make it hard to tell whats pointed. There has...

    Crowing hen or rooster?

    Hello. I've visited this forum for answers before and it's taught me a lot. I know hens can crow if they are the dominant hen, but I don't think this is. I'm really hoping its not a rooster because we live in an urban setting (no crowing fowl allowed) and it is a pet for my 10 year old...
