Big floppy comb. Spunky personality. Many did not cary 2 copies of the cream gene but for sapphires that is not important.





A white "A" cockerel.

So I bought a chick this morning who is showing signs of wry neck now. I'm thinking the stress of the move brought it out. Poor thing keeps turning its head to the side and walking in circles. I started vitamin e and selenium supplements already but I don't know how much to give. I haven't separated the chick because I think that would be more stress. The chick has its head normalish, not turned and upside down yet. Hopefully I can prevent it from getting that bad!? They are on good food, but I just bought them at 10:30 today. Siblings are fine, it's one out of the seven amerecuanas I bought today. PLEASE quote me if you reply so I can find the reply, the board gets busy sometimes and I can't read all the pages lol

Sally just went through this with one of her's, so maybe she or Kathy can help you....Good Luck

Hey guys any suggestions for keeping the little buggers from wasting so much food by tossing and scratching,? I am about ready to try a mesh of some kind.

Also with 50+ in the brooder(actually 8.5x10 coop floor), is their an easy way to check for pasty butt? For some reason they won't stay still or even in the same area so I can get a look at them

Get on Pinterest and search DIY no waste feeder, they use a tote and pvc elbows, I am making one for my new coop and brooder.

People can get addicted to morpine due to shingles.

does morpine work?
Yes, if you take enough of it but you need it for so long the chances of becoming addicted to it (AKA heroine) are high. Hence the reluctance to give it out.

Other pain meds and antidepressants are first line, and often used with opoids, if opoids have to be given.
