    Large crop, can't stand up and is unvalanced

    This afternoon when I had gone to shut my chickens in for the night, I noticed that one of my silkies was walking oddly. I brought her inside and she could no longer support herself and keeps flopping on to her side. We checked her crop and that was very large. We looked online and saw that...

    We bought 5 straight run bantams when they were about 1 week old. They're now 11 weeks 4 are definitely roos. 2 porcelain d'uccle, 1 white silkie, 1 red old english. What are the chances of them getting along as they get older?

    Frizzles?

    Hi everyone! I recently bought three bantams from a frizzle bantam mix at our local Co-op. Two of the three are starting to get their big feathers in, do they look frizzled to you? I attacked a picture of the third one just in case, but I think it’s too early for s/he. I know they have about a...

    Breeding miniature Batam from regular

    Earl last year we bought a quad of Wellsummers. They laid well and were very fertile so we hatched out around 40-50. They are all about 4-5 months right now, and out of the batches there was a male and female dwarf. The adults are normal and all pretty standard looking except one hen has a...

    One chick won’t come out from under hen

    I’ve got three two day old chicks. Two of them come out often to eat and drink, but one (smallest) practically never comes out. When the hen stands and displaces it, it will peck around a bit but not much, preen a bit, and then instantly go back under. Is this normal?
