Not knowing what we are seeing, the answer is yes, it could possibly interfere with eating or....... she may grow out of it. Let's hope for the best!

Any thoughts on omelet, my barred Plymouth Rock. Boy or girl?

how old? the red lamp is killig the ability to see if there is any red in the comb or wattles. i can't see anything that suggests roo, but it also appears to be very young still.

Would you take a male and a female?

Is it ok to have two females & one male?

The lighting its hard to tell. Pictures of where his/her feathers are coming in will help. The males are going to have a lot more white barring & the females will have more black barring.

Haven't heard from Hazel's owner yet....hopefully he/she will contact me tomorrow!! I'd love to have her!

And here's good news! I candled my eggs tonight that I set a week ago, and I have 3 very active embryos!!

The other 3 I think are no good but will check again on day 10 (Friday) and decide then.....

YAY! for chickies. I've got chick fever bad.

Greetings... long time no see.

A bit of a high-jack here.

I am in need of a new Vet for my cat here in CS. Anyone have someone they like/trust?

thanks,

Mo

Briargate blvd has been my vet for years. Good people there

I wouldn't stress yet about that one. You will have lots of options if you get a roo. CL, BYC locals, chicken swaps,.....

Awesome. Thanks! :-D

Onstad1 there's a vet on the south side (actually more like Security/Widefield/Fountain area) right on 85/87, James Graf, I think his practice is Fountain Creek or Fountain Valley Vet?  Great vet, very caring, very honest, I used him until I moved to Pueblo, and even after that took a cat to him to be euthanized when she was at death's doorstep, and he was incredibly kind, waited for my son and Bob to get there to say goodbye even though he most certainly needed the exam room for other patients. 

I also like Dr. Graf as well. My MIL uses that office, and I did as well till I moved to Peyton.

Hi Ashdoes! I'm in Peyton too. I don't have birds yet, but we're planning for Beltsville small white turkeys.

What vet do you use now? I have 2 dogs myself.

Newbie question! I've had my flock of 7 completed since Sunday. 6 of the birds are much more active than my 7th, the black cochin. She sleeps a lot but will still walk around and get her food and water. She will do the beak pecking thing that they all do, whether she starts it or not. She's just not as active. Should I be concerned or is it a breed/individual personality thing?

She is probably just fine and more mellow. They are all different, even within the same breed. As long as she keeps eating and drinking and growing at her own pace, no worries apparent.

x2 - certainly worth keeping an eye out but Cochins are generally more mellow than some others. I have one in my laying flock (we call her Li'l Lotta') and have some shipped eggs in the incubator now, because we are so fond of the one we have.
