I was okay with the Johnson and Johnson jab but Pfizer makes me sick every time. I'm looking into novavax because my mom has lupus and I want to protect her. I'm not antivax but I was just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis younger than anyone in my family and sometimes I wonder if it was the...
I'm at the point where I just do the annual vaccine now along with my flu shot. I agree to each their own. I got covid 2 years ago even with the vaccine and even though it was far milder than without one my asthma has gotten worse. Skip to allergy season and summertime temps masks suffocate me...
Sorry for the long wait-- I had an emergency wisdom tooth extraction (just one but owwww). At least they knocked me out. It may be a pullet if it's been molting. I'll try to catch one of our gold polish roos for comparison. They're 8 weeks old this weekend so not far behind in age. They're fast...
I'm so sorry that happened!! Sometimes it just happens out of nowhere it seems with no reason. Our guys are still pretty spiky and girls are having more cotton ball shaped crests. Can you post a pic of the one you think is a female gold now?? Spike and Bodie are pinking in the wattles and the...
The event I'm thinking of is in Delta township. I'm confused now as to which event I'm referring to. I hate that we're having another hfai year again. We're biosecure because of being small fortunately. Just overpopulated this year.
Okay so I'm confused... I know there's a meet and greet with the option to bring your birds... I'm guessing that's going to be rescheduled but I can't find the thread with it. We're AI free and have chicks needing homes. We're roo heavy but they're nice boys. They'll be about 12 weeks by June...
These pictures just helped me immensely. My mom's not going to be too happy. The WC blacks we ordered for our shipment she specifically asked for a roo. The shipment was a disaster and we have 2 roos but not the right color. They'll still be well loved. 💜
Sorry it took a couple days to reply. I have tried to get pictures but he freaks out and I'm alone and can't operate my camera two handed. I believe it's a slipped joint, I can pop it back in by rubbing it between my fingers but when I remove support so he doesn't or his friend doesn't peck it...
It's not vitamin deficiency I don't think. He was fine last night. I can give him a boost with our chick e-lixir though. It was sudden onset. He was fine until this afternoon. Wouldn't they show signs way before a limp?? He's a pretty active little dude. Even with the limp we had trouble...
Hello, my mother went to check the brooder and our Cochin is limping -- it is walking on the outside of it's foot. I'm not sure if it's a sprain or what is going on, I felt each leg from toes to thigh joint and nothing feels out of place. The only think I can relate it to would be if a human...
Sure. I'll see if my mom can snap one. If I go through the ring cam the brooder light causes the lighting and color to look slightly wonky. It's not quite feathered out yet. I came back to edit-- the feed store that received the shipment said they all look the same and are hoping they don't have...
Are sapphire sky sex linked?? We received one in a shipment and even though it's supposed to be a pullet I'm not familiar with them, just sapphire rocks and those are. I'm currently eyeballing our newest fluff. Didn't mean to hijack thread, just looking for info since hatchery claims non sex...
Coming back to add that the only other chick it could possibly be by photo that they carry is black Japanese bantam..... they wouldn't be dumb enough to throw a bantam in with full size... would they???
We ordered the rare breed assortment from McMurray this year, they've been identified breed wise but one. It's all black, pink skin, and dark legs, very camera shy as it's the smallest and and hides underneath everyone else. It only has 4 toes. I want to say it's just a bsl pullet but because...
I didn't know that. I'll have my mom peek at the comb but I think it was straight. I'll have to let her know that we might have an olive egger she's never seen the darker shades, just blue and a teal/very light green from our old ones that have since passed on. We've never had marans.
