Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

I am guessing that it is a RSL at the moment, but that is only a guess. It would sure be a nice surprise if it turned out to be a Buff Orpington, though!

I agree, does she have faint orange stripes going down her back and subtle arrow on the top of her head? Our Golden Buff looked like that as a chick.

Yesterday the chicks turned a month old. They got to go outside for almost an hour. It was in the 70's, then it started raining. I didn't get any pictures but these are from this week.

She definitely has orange "racing stripes" down her back, and I would like to imagine she has a subtle arrow towards her forehead, but that might be wishful thinking.

Looking good, autumnhearth! Does the light brahma have a name yet?

 

[christine9]

Oh my gosh! I'm really enjoying spying on these little chicks. Now I'm thinking two blues and a black? I'm not sure how that happened.
Anyway...here is a few of the hundreds of pictures I took today. Yes, seriously hundreds!

First one looks like my RIR did at that age. Second one is definitely a light Brahma.

I agree, RIR, Light Brahma, probably a Gold Laced Wyandotte and Partidge Rock. Not sure about the last one but they all look healthy and cute.

So Miss Morgaine my BCM and head hen isn't feeling well again. Same symptoms as in January, lethargic, pale, puffed up, white runny poops all of which are outward symptoms of well any sick chicken. I also noticed yesterday when i was looking her over that she lost two toenails as she had trouble roosting last night and didn't want to come out of the coop this morning. So we're taking her to the vet to make sure she she doesn't having something contagious that I need to treat the whole flock for. So glad there is one that sees chickens, they specialize in avian and exotics and had pictures of a duck, a barred rock on their website as well as snakes, chameleons, hedgehogs and a fawn. The receptionist asked on the phone what the chickens name was. Not if she had a name, what it was. Yep that's the right place to go.

You realize, don't you, that similar to a fortune teller's skills, she can probably deduce that anybody calling a vet for a chicken, names theirs!

But yes, if they see chickens, you are lucky to find them. I hope Morgaine will be all right.

And also, like you said, hopefully it isn't something the rest of the birds will pick up. You'll have to be careful to not cross contaminate to the new babies.
