So true. We hatched some Black Copper Marans eggs and 1 of the 4 came out brown. After spending some time on the forums it's apparently a common poor color pattern. But he made the most beautiful rooster because he had so much more color. Unfortunately his color pattern is when you're not...

Willawong Hill they have turned out Buff with a gray or black color bleed around the rump and around the neck of the 1 cockerel. They are 9 or 10 weeks old now so they don't have their final adult feathers yet. The pullets have become more buff with each molt. They are buff on top and have some...

I purchased 6 Bantam Cochin hatching eggs for my broody. They are supposed to be Buff. 4 hatched. 1 looks buff. The other 3 had brownish spots on the head and in a line down the back at hatch. Not full stripes. They were mostly buff. Now their feathers are coming in with brownish patterns on the...

Thanks!

Where do you get Corid? Our hen seemed somewhat better last night but was wheezing and struggling with heaving sides tonight.

That is frustrating. Clomid makes good money on human females that can't release a egg on their own for various reasons. I would expect that some hens are the same. Maybe hormones, malformation of reproductive organs, odd genetics. Who knows. If she dies, might be worth opening her up to see if...

We have a 2 year old cuckoo maran hen that we noticed wheezing and having loss of voice approx 2 weeks ago. She is still laying almost daily and perky. No sneezing or eye/nose symptoms. We separated her into a small isolated Coop with its own run immediately. We tried the natural treatments...

Anyone have pictures or advise about bantam Cochin/silkie cross as far as when gender will display and what hen combs will look like? We were not expecting chicks this year, but COVID Quarantine started and 4 hens decided that they just had to Quarantine too...by hatching eggs. No matter that a...

Egg #9 has been a mess. Our hen went broody. I candled 12 eggs, 8 were good. We had 2 that were questionable. I candled those 2 eggs 6 days later and both looked good. But we now had 9 eggs. And #9 was developing already. Likely 3-4 days along. I arranged for an incubator, but another hen went...

Thank you!

Our 3 month old bantam Easter Egger Cockerel (been crowing for a month already) mounted and mated our 3 month old white silkie. Not just hoped on top, but grabbed the head and did his little dance on the silkie. Is it safe to assume the silkie is female? I have never seen our young cockerels try...

I checked the wound last night. Re place where I took out the core is healing, but otherwise it looks the same. Still swollen. Flushed it, antibiotic ointment and rewrapped the foot.

Hi there. We have 15 free-range chickens in the backyard. One particularly unfriendly hen who does not like people or being handled, was limping a few months ago. She seemed fine a few days later. Since she hates being handled, I let it go since she seemed fine. I had guessed that she bruised...
