[K Spot]

These are purely guesses on my part


Chick number one. Rooster


Chick two. Rooster


Chick three. Pullet


Chick three. Pullet


All seven chicks in their pen.

Thanks for the reply.. I'm going to wait until they are ten weeks until I decide which I am keeping.. Hopefully I'll be able to pick two pullets by then!

Come home from work and the one of the chicks was dead. Not one of the three in the photos, one of the others.

They all looked really well this morning, I'm gutted.

Is there something I could get that wrong??

 

[K Spot]

Did the chick that died look sick at all? Weepy eyes, discharge coming from the nostrils, gurgling sound when it was breathing?

I'm sorry for your loss

 

[byronallo]

No they all looked really well. After looking on the Internet and observing them for a while, I think it may be coccidiosis.

One of the other chicks looked puffed up with its head in its neck and not moving very much.

I'm going to try to get hold of some treatment today before anymore get too sick!

 

[K Spot]

Good luck to you, I have my fingers crossed.

 

[byronallo]

Thanks, K spot!

 

[byronallo]

No, further chicks died.. And treatment is finished tomorrow

!!!

Just for anyone who is trying to sex their Araucana.'s and want to use this as a reference. Chick one and two where both cockerels and chick three pullet.
