    Makes noise when pooping

    Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of the bloody poop. I looked at this poop chart: http://chat.allotment.org/index.php?topic=17568.0 and I would say it compared to intestinal lining shedding. I Probably wouldn't have noticed it, but the day before those poops...

    Sexing 6 week EE

    I purchased 3 straight run Easter Egger from Blain’s, which are roughly six weeks old. Only this one has a three row comb and much longer tail feathers. Still no wattles. Is this a cockerel? (They’re not very good at holding still) TIA

    New to chicks

    Hello! I am a first time mom to 10 chicks I picked up on St. Patricks Day, so roughly 6 weeks old. I have 1 Silver Wyandotte, 1 Barred Rock, 1 Australorp, 3 EE's and 4 ISA Browns. I've been eyeing chickens for about two years and have no farmyard experience, so this is a huge change for me...
