Hi guys My last remaining silkie chick, Sakura, has wry neck. It seemed to develop suddenly but my husband mentioned something a couple days ago about her turning her head almost on its side to look at him over her brooder...we thought at the time she was just being goofy (she's a pretty goofy...

Quote: ROFL....it may be the camera angle but those are some MONSTER feet he's got!! That pic looks like it could be some 1950s horror flick....Revenge of the Rooster!

I guess I should've clarified the spur buds thing. Yes both genders have spur buds present, but my SLW's were MUCH more prominent than the girls of the same age. In fact, none of the pullets I have started developing spur buds until they were older than 4 weeks. So I figure that in...

Here's what I've figured out about sexing with my own chicks. I thought I'd share in case it might help someone else out. I got my silverlaced wyandotte chick at 1 week old. Based on what I read about feather sexing, and our previously successful attempts at pubic bone testing, we were fairly...

Quote: that's kind of the feeling i got about it. i figured that if they had some illness or disease, it was pretty unlikely that their broodermates wouldn't have caught it. the only reason i haven't been sure is because i got the two chicks from two different hatcheries out here in town...

Quote: That brings up another question then....I probably should move this to the coop building forum, but since I'm here... We are thinking of building the coop itself 5' wide by 3' deep by 2.5' high. We wound up with those dimensions to fit the space we have. The nestboxes will be mounted...

My husband and I have five chicks, and today just started discussing the plans to build a coop, when he said that he thinks two of my chicks won't be able to go in with the other three girls because of the size difference. Here's what we have: 2 female red sexlinks, one is 4 weeks old, one...

Just as a quick update....I managed to get her to eat some scrambled egg mixed with yogurt and chick feed. She wouldn't touch it at first, until she saw my healthy chick go after it. Then she was so interested in getting some I was actually surprised based on her earlier lethargy. I also got...

Hi everyone....I need some help with one of my chicks. Here's the background: I have two red sexlink girls. I got them on April 29th at 1 week old, so that makes them nearly three weeks old now. Up until today, they have both been eating, drinking, and pooping just fine. This morning my...
