Gabby had to photobomb the pictures. She is one of those hens that is always in the middle of everything. She pecks at my muck boots. Follows me around complaining all the time, bawwwwwwk.

yeah the heat stress cause the sneezing too.

on my first years 2014 when i bought my chooks every thing was alright in the winter time ,but on February ( hottest month of the year) 90% of my flock where sneezing and crouching around. was scary to go to inside the coops night time. sounded like a hospital .

I thought I was going to loose them all .but I was wrong. I gave them antibiotic for ornamental bird ( very strong ) for one weeks and every body come up alright . lost 10 bird.

Rat are bad.

chooks man

do you know what kind of antibiotic it was? I have baytril, oxytetracycline and doxycycline.

She is a Wheaten Ameraucana. She has just started laying too and her eggs are so pretty next to those dark Marans eggs.

she is beautiful! she looks a lot like my faverolles natalie. her eggs are nice too.

@Chooks man you said you liked marans and naked necks only. what do you think about rumpless araucanas and ameraucanas? and olive eggers?

I do not find them attractive but they have a nice egg color .

I m going a be working with Cream legbar ans a white Aracauna next few years ( project with a friend of mine want to develop them ) I don t like them .I told him that .

Marans and Necked neck.One day I ll develop my own strain ( Marneck= Marans X necked neck ) dual purposes breed.
