    Quote: >>>>>>>>>>> Hi, I would wait before giving away that chicken. I just looked up pictures of hens and cockerels for barred rocks, and the rooster comb goes back much farther then yours. I would wait until your either hear a crow or get an egg before finally knowing for sure. Different...

    Bay Area BYCers!

    I need a new home for my 11-month old barred rock cockerel, since San Jose won't let us have roosters. He's not crowing yet, but he should be starting soon. He's been vaccinated for Mareks and has been fed organic feed since birth. He's been handled a lot by myself and my kids and will sit on...

    Apergillus/Aspergillosis-anybody gone thru this?????

    We went through what we believe was aspergillosis with a chick of ours recently. Everything I read said it was a death sentence, but we tried garlic (which is antifungal), and she recovered. Here's my post on it: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6456932 By the way, if...

    Possible cure for aspergillosis/Brooder pneumonia

    We had a week old chick recently who started gaping all the time and just standing, miserable in a corner of the brooder box with her head tucked down, staring at the cardboard wall. She ate and drank, though not much. From what we could tell, she had aspergillosis, which is a fatal respiratory...

    baby chick won't eat drink or walk - just stand there cheeping

    TeamChaos, how's your chick doing now? I've got a one-week old chick who won't lie down, too. Stands in one spot for long period of time and rarely interacts with the other chicks. Doesn't budge if we reach in to pick her up. She scratches at the area under her beak a lot and has been gaping. My...
