thanks for the info on silkies being dark, that mean my three chicks with fluffy butts are probably cochin?
I just gave 3 chicks the equivalent of a brazilian. Kinda feel bad about it, but it was that or worry the pasty butt would kill them. Because I couldn't tell if it was the actual problem or just getting caught on their fluff.
My favorite chick jumped out of my hands this morning and fell to the floor. I am 5'4" and was holding the 3 day old at about waist height. HAve I killed it? Its back inthe brooder and seems to be acting ok
