    Possible new low for Tractor Supply

    I had to go to town today so I stopped at Tractor Supply just to see what chicks they had. Only 1 tank: Cinnamon Queen pullets and straight run Black Sex Links. Wait, what?

    Black sex link barred rock? What sex?

    I was so sure that this bird was a barred rock pullet until it grew some wing feathers. COMPLETELY BLACK! No stripes, nothing. I narrowed down all the possible breeds from what the breeder had to two. Barred Rock, and Black Australorp, but at a few days old it had the white bum, bib, wing tips...

    Abscess/Infection in a chickens eye?

    Can anyone help identify this problem? This is my 2-year-old Black Sex-Link chicken. I think she jabbed her eye on a piece of hardwire cloth. Does it look like an abscess? We have been spraying vetericyn on it. It has been going on for 2 days. Any help is appreciated.

    I have 6 chickens that are 17 weeks old and they just started laying. They are still so small and in my experience with my other hens, once they lay their first few eggs they are about done growing. Is this the case with these next few?
