Thank you- the brown one was sold to us as a Cream Legbar but when her head pouf didn't come in I posted here and found out she was an EE- she's super sweet and we love her! I'm really rooting for all girls this go-round. We had to re-home a roo last time and it was sad to see him go!
I have two 9 week old EEs and this is my first go with EEs- My kids and I are stressing because they both appear to have "saddle feathers" but also look like they have single pea combs (which would be ladies, right?) and I know I can just wait for them to either crow or lay an egg but we are a...
Thank you! She has some (as my middle schooler would say) "very sus" feathers that I thought were saddle feathers so I've been worried she was a Larry and not a Liz!!!
This is Liz Lemon, we purchased her as a Crested Cream Legbar- she's 6 weeks old, it's my first time with this breed but I guess was expecting a crest by this age? What do you think? Hoping someone with more experience with CCL's can weigh in and help me either confirm that's what she is or...
omg us too! our first flock- the black australorp in my profile photo turned out to be a roo and we had to rehome him and it was heartbreaking- he was soooo sweet!
These two arrived with pretty large white spots on the tops of their heads but I know that's not 100%- however, they are both filling out pretty white (on their feathers). Hatch date 3/18/25 so about 4 weeks old. Sold as gals but we are suspecting they are dudes. Trying to be sure asap as we...
This was sold as a hatchery sexed hen- and we've never had sussex before, but that comb and the teeeeeny tail are screaming "it's a BOY-O" Hatch date 3/18/25 so about 4weeks old.
We have a 2 year old who has always had some problems laying- she's laid soft shelled eggs, eggs with no shell and perfectly fine eggs too. She hasn't laid for about a week but for the past few months she has laid all normal eggs. On Monday we noticed she had watery poop and was a bit lighter...
WORM MED DOSING ADVICE PLEASE
I found a roundworm on a turd this am while cleaning the run. I have liquid safeguard (liquid fenbenzadole the goat one- pic in below). But have read adding it to their water is not super effective as it settles to the bottom and it’s hard to know how much they got...
thank you- we do have free choice crushed oyster shell available to them and they do definitely peck at it/eat it. I'll try the calcium citrate with her, I wish I knew for sure it was that one- I'm guessing right now but pretty sure....none of the vets nearby see chickens and they will not do...
We have a tiny flock of 3 (they are all just over a year old) and one of them is laying soft shell eggs, on and off for about a month now. No other symptoms of illness that I can detect- poop seems fine, no respiratory distress aside from the occasional sneeze usually when dust bathing- which...
