The one reply has three angles of her. I have been late to the response we are suffering a massive ice storm and are without power just trying to survive
7 of them. I thought the black across the back of the necks too. Some look like colour is coming up close and some have smaller waddles than the two crowing. I was hoping I had some hidden pullets. Such a crap ratio on the hatch.
Thank you! I did, Australorp are just not common around here. We are in Ontario, Canada. I did find a year black one which I’m settling wit seeming I didn’t want to wait for chick grow outs phew!
My old man unfortunately has passed and I’m looking to have some colour over my black Australorp hens to eventually lead to some splash Australorps.
Anyone in Ontario Canada? Or the capability to ship me a roo in Canada?
Ideally looking for a well put together roo. If coming from heavy bloom...
Yes, I am wondering if there was a lack of absorption of vitamins from the medicated feed. I don’t feed treats at that age. I got a nice vitamin mix for chicks and seemed to worked well. I am leaning towards vitamin deficiency because a second one got wobbly and with vitamin supplement also was...
Just as an update incase anyone else faces this! I continued vitamins for a good string of days and trying the warm compress a couple days but it seems it was able to resolve itself after a couple weeks (I think it was just the vitamin a deficiency). Woohoo!
I obtained some silver laced wynadotte chicks that are a few weeks old (Jan 23 hatch date).
It seems one has a clogged preen gland.
It’s hard to tell in the photos but the tiny preen gland is on top of the bulge.
I warm compressed it a bunch I even used a tiny syringe to try to drain it...
