Are you saying to go into the coop at night and grab the silkie or Ayam...so i can inspect the white spots. If i understand correctly, these could be the eggs of bugs that are active at night. So during the day, i wouldn't see the bugs, just the eggs. but at night, i will see both?
Background:
I have 10 pullets and 5 cockerels. All are about 6 months now. Got them all at the same time when they were 2-3 weeks old so couldn't have guessed there would be so many males. For the most part, they all get along and have created their own heirachy with the polish cockerel as head...
Hi everyone, would love to get your collective wisdom and guess the genders of these chicks. I think i have too many roosters in my flock now. I couldnt' tell the sex when i got them, but I think a few are cockerels. Please help me guess the sexes? Also the breeds of a few I don't know as well...
Hi all, I was hoping to get answers to the following two question RE: my chicks. I got all of them at once about 1.5 month ago and was told that there was only 1 male and the rest female. However, it seems that there are a few cockerels in the flock. So my questions/help needed are the...
Hi all, thank you again for your previous inputs. I have some updated photos and am quite curious to hear the genders as some were too early to tell. One thing I know for sure is that I have multiple roosters....from what i hear it may be a problem in the future. However, I did reach somewhere...
Hi all, I noticed that one of my chickens had some yellow dry flakes (about the size of raisons) underneath the both armpits. It looks like dandruff, but it was yellow. I gave him a warm bath and slowly removed most of it gently. However, then I decided to check the other chicks (all about 4-8...
I was hoping to get y'all's help in sexing my chicks as I suspect I may have a few more cockerels than initially suspected. Before I attach the photos, just a big thank you in advance for helping me. -Dean
Hi all, just wanted to get your thoughts on how many weeks this little one is? I got him about 2 weeks ago and he/she looked about the same. Thanks in advance
Hi!
I'm a new owner of a great group of chicks (silkies, cochins, polishes, etc.). I just got them 1 week ago, the seller said they are 50 days (not sure if that is true). In anycase, since I've brought them home this past week, I've been taking my chicks outside during the day and bringing...
Also, forgot to answer the question of the crop. I did an physical examination of the crop. It did not feel full or hardened. I compared the feeling to another chick and it was feeling the same.
In terms of food, I am giving them poultry feed from the following company. They don't give the exact breakdown of what they put in it ...They just say "poultry feed" on the bag. They are a pretty legit company, however, i don't know the exact contents. this is their website...
Hi everyone, thank you for your responses. So I've been trying to source a medicine for coccidiosis. It's quite hard here. However, I was able to find Vapco Vazuril (pic attached) from a pharmacy about an hour away so I will drive there today. I did trim back his beak a little. I also attached a...
Hi Everyone,
First and foremost, this forum is the best. I always use it to learn so thank you in advance as this is my first real post.
I purchased about fourteen 1-month old chicks from the same farm at the same time (2 polish, 2 silkie, 2 brahma, 2 cochin, ...). Overall, was super happy...
Hi all, i'm Dean (american expat in dubai).....just wondering if any of you all are in Dubai. Would be great to connect as I find it hard to sometimes find the right place to purchase feed, etc.
Hi all, I've had the pleasure to use this forum as a resource for the past month and the community is great. I used to have chickens growing up in Los Angeles and after 40 years, I've decided to build my own chicken coup for my family. I went with the western style saloon and have an awesome new...
