White Leghorn (Linda) and Buff Brahma (Tillie), approximately 4-5 weeks old... not sure if it’s still to early to tell for these two whether they’re pullets or cockerels but I’ve been reading a lot of different threads around here and figured it was worth asking because a lot of you really know...
My chicks have very ruffled and ugly feathers. I’m thinking it could be a sun deficiency because here in las vegas, it is 100+ degrees about every day so I didn’t take them outside until they were two weeks old. I took them outside because I noticed their feathers were starting to get ugly. They...
One of my quarantined sickies keeps sneezing, and a few of the healthy chicks are occasionally sneezing as well.
