Pictured below is one of my Austra Whites with blood or black dots on her comb… My other Austra white has a chapped comb & a couple black dots as well. Both of my austrawhites sneeze occasionally(Is this the norm for this breed?). I posted last week about small black dots & dryness. Here is the...
Hi! First time posting on here. My 20 week Austrawhite was the first hen to exhibit symptoms. She had black spots on her, but I was able to get them off with Vaseline. A week later I noticed a chapped like substance & black dots on her comb. My husband seems to think the spots are dirt and the...
I've had an unusually challenging spring and summer hatching chickens out.
My egg collectors were refrigerating the eggs in the beginning and not placing them correctly for incubation 😭
We've had horrible power surges and brownouts all year, especially during critical times like lockdown and...
Bought these 6 chicks May 30th from tractor supply. No labels were there so I had no idea what I was getting. The all were yellow but two had a single black dot and seemed a tad bigger than the other four. They have gotten whiter and whiter with a couple black spots showing up and have grown so...
Find it odd that a hybrid of such is as broody as this gal has been recently. I am thinking about putting one of my 3 day old chicks under her, she has been sitting for about 14-15 days now on rocks
I am unsure of this hens age or if she has been broody before, often, hatched chicks, etc., as I...
I believed these are Austra whites and black australorps. Probably mixed with something. I think I have three hens and a roo but I’m questioning the roo because of the lack of waddle and comb. I believe they are 10-12 weeks. I have three golden comets hens and wanted to add to the flock since my...
Hi BYC-
First time chicken owner of ~5 months here. I have two pullets whose earlobe colors seem to be changing. I'm a bit worried about the olive egger because the color seems to be more yellow (the austra white's ears seems more white). I'm not sure if infectious - don't see any pus or...
this is an Austra white. She has always been an Amazon compared to the rest. Her comb was big at 1 week not to mention her feet. now 6 weeks old I really fear she may be a roo. Anyone with experience with austra whites have any hen or roo photos I can compare at this age?
I just joined Backyard Chickens. My family has just started our first flock, and this is my first post. We bought 8 - five-week old Austra White "hens" about 3 weeks ago. They all look the same, white with black spots. The Agway store sold them as hens, but said while it doesn't happen a...
