Rescued chicken - what breed? Age?

[Jdapple]

Thank you! Doing all of the above! I only have dried herbs at the moment but they’re from my garden last year so hopefully better then nothing.

Any other suggestions for her cold?

There's another forum section which might be better suited for the medical questions but a common suggestion on those threads seems to be Tylan50 (for potentially bacterial issues). Do you have a vet for your chicks?

I agree, but I am not really wanting to use antibiotics unless it's a last resort.

I don't have a vet actually, but have been looking for one. The vet that my dogs go to doesn't see chickens

I agree black sex link hen! Who is the white speckled chicken beside her? I love that coloration.

Oh that's my Easter Egger "pullet" who is turning out to be a cockerel I love his coloring too but I can't keep a rooster in my area. I'm holding out hoping he decides to become female hahaha

Black Sexlink roughly 12-18 months I'd say. She is sick and REALLY needed to be quarantined from the rest of your birds for at least 30 days. Otherwise she could have spread a disease to the rest of the flock. Its a little late now, watch the rest of you flock very close for signs of illness.

I have two that are pretty similar to yours, hoping at least one of them if female, but probably not, lol.

Will do. I know, I should have quarantined her and now it's too late. I will definitely watch the others for signs of illness.
