So I've partially mentioned this before in a different post, but I thought posting about it again will be fine. I am so sorry I can't do my own research but I just have no idea what this color morph could be called.

Please help me save the babies! We hatched 8 chicks (6/27/24). We have been hand raising them since. 4 of the 8 are confirmed cockerels (just began crowing). We are located in Ventura County (SoCal), and hoping to find them new homes before my husband processes them!

PLEASE HELPThere is something wrong somewhere in my chicken. In the morning she still has a little ball of food in her crop, but if I wait until 9 or 10 in the morning she's digested most of it, and if I give her a spice mix with a syringe it will disintegrate. If I do nothing and feed her she...
