Polish, silver baby...hmmmmmmm lemme think, but it is crested

Well, I think it's a weird pic. There isn't normally a crested look. Just yellow with lots of gray coming in.

Yep. He's a chocolate orp. I just got him from Autumn Farms Orps. He's such a comedian. He dances for fermented split peas. I love him!

That "little guy" is the size of a small turkey.

Curious- has anyone gotten their chooks a kiddie pool? You know , the plastic shallow ones? I wonder if they would use it...

So... Joy of my health issues lately is I don't sleep well. Decided to go peek at a very quiet bunch of fluffybutts. 8 "dead" chicks. All that was missing were tiny snores. None panting. All sprawled and oblivious until I accidently woke a few laughing. I'd guess the food, water, and temp are to their liking. Lol

does this look normal ?the black on the comb?

I would remain calm.

That might make you feel better!

Wow. Nobody on today?

So, both chicks that arrived in questionable shape are doing great. However, one other is sliding downhill FAST. She has droopy wings and, while remaining upright, is listless. Her crop is full and she is not breathing oddly or showing other symptoms. The other chicks were constantly pecking her as well. I've isolated her and dropped some electrolytes down her throat. Any other suggestions?

It is not sideways... It is facing downward on scaffolding.

I PLANNED to have it all done. Then life happened. Life sucks sometimes. Lol

so not my bizness but, what's the contractor doing ? Working on a new garage ?

 

[Chickielady]

Basically there is a "wild" chicken down a couple blocks from where I live. By the time I saw her and went to get a box and meal worms she was gone. Looked almost like a gold laced wyondette

wow !

Depends, this time of year she should not have frostbite.
If she got frostbite last winter, those gangrenous parts would have 'fell off' by now.
So maybe it is the breed ?
Like has some black chicken bred in ?
Also, frostbite gets the tips first, and the areas near the head are usually safe from the cold.
