We are going to the vet at 9:30 am tomorrow (for ref, posting this at nearly 8pm), and my chicken keeps squawking and not sleeping. She's inside and I've comforted her and nothing is working. The vet said she has some sort of respiratory infection, gave her antibiotics half a week ago, they work...
The chicken in question is a Langshan hen, roughly 3 years old and last weighed around 1.3 kg. She has been breathing with her mouth open/audibly, whimpering noises, and stretching neck out releasing large croak-like sounds. The latter two have been only recent, around 3 days, whereas the...
My chicken Carrot has been breathing with her beak open. This has happened for a while and haven't really thought much of it because I thought it was that she was puffed out when I was trying to catch and hold her, considering I primarily used to hear it when holding her. She has been doing it...
For the past 2 days one of my Langshan chickens, Coconut, has had a lot of feather loss. Should this be a concern? It started on the 22 when I gave them all pesten powder for their mite issues, they never usually have a reaction, but I noticed it when I ruffled it in Coconut's back feathers...
5 Beautiful Ornamental Chicken Breeds
There are a lot of cool chicken breeds out there, and every breed is in a"Category", whether it's "Breeds For Meat", "Breeds For Eggs", "Dual- Purpose", "Breeds For Ornamental"etc...
So I posted awhile back about these pullets (hopefully!!) and I’m wondering if they are filled out enough to see any telltale signs of possible breeds? They are now 10 weeks old. I have determined that the Mother was a Blue Cochin (LF) and we are guessing the fathers were either a Black Frizzle...
Hi all. I just got some hatching eggs from Ebay in the incubator this week. My fiance and son have been debating what chickens these eggs are from. Would yall mind taking some guesses?
They can be from the following flock:
Maran
Black or blue australop
Silver spangled hamburg
Barnevelder...
I've really been researching this and cant quite get to the bottom of it. What is the clear distinction between maran and langshan? Especially with roos that dont lay how would you differentiate? I know the langshan went into forming the maran so that's probably why this isnt clearer for me...
This is my 12-week old langshan chicken (unsur of sex) that I purchased from Murray mcmurray hatchery. I was wondering if anyone thinks this bird could be show quality?
Hi,
I've been researching and found out about a beautiful breed; Croad Langshan! :love They apparently have gorgeous personalities, interesting plum or lilac hued eggs and black with green sheen feathering! However, It turns out they're a pretty rare breed. I've been looking online and only...
Hey everyone, I'm Dan, a 27 year old British army veteran now married to my darling wife Torri and settled with 2 kids and one on the way in rural East Tennessee. We recently moved to what we hope to be our forever home on half an acre with land next to us we hope to acquire in the near future...
I'm new to all this and I thought we had everyone figured out. My hens just started laying, so it's very exciting for me.
So I'm looking up which eggs go with which hen, color wise. I realize that my black langshan hasnt laid any eggs.
My dad has been saying for a while that Shadow was a boy but...
Looking for quality Croad Langshans in northern CA and Nevada. We fell in love with Croad Langshans, and we are replacing much of our flock with Langshans. We have crummy luck when it comes to the pullet/cockerel ratio. We got four chicks, lost one, and the surviving three were all boys. We...
Hi, I have Black Langshans and White Langshans in the same pen. We hatched some chicks form that pen but I would like to know what colour they're going to be as grown chickens. I can't seem to find a straight up answer online. Thank you
I have this 22 week old pullet and I'm just curious if I'm correct in guessing that she's a Langshan? She does have a greenish tint all over her feathers. The main thing that I noticed though... All of the Langshan pictures I have looked up have red combs and wattles. Hers are black. Does this...
