I have a similar situation going on, but my newer additions are one brood of 4 ten-week-old pullets and then a 7 week old twosome of a pullet and surprise cockerel. i’m worried about the latter pullet, once the roo is growing. they really keep to themselves and i’m fearful that she’ll end up...

Complicated situation with a very bonded pair Alright so, I have 3 “flocks” I’m trying to integrate. 1) my OG birds (six birds, 1 year old) 2) chicks born 3/7 (4 birds, all pullets) 3) chicks born 3/26 (2 birds, 1 pullet and 1 cockerel) currently, flocks 2 & 3 are together on one side of the...

Wow!! That pattern sure does look familiar! Maybe they’re mixed with the same mystery breed :)

She was said to be a Black Star but I’m not sure how accurate the breeding was, they all wound up looking a little different. This is what she looks like now-

I have two 7 week old EEs, one pullet and one cockerel. Obviously, they were in the brooder together, but they are absolutely inseparable. Neither goes anywhere without the other and they rarely interact with the older birds (some 10 week olds and some 1 year olds). My question is, how normal is...

Alrighty, I’ve got two babes here, the speckled Americana I’m really thinking is a roo based on leg size and redness of comb (~7wks old) The buff (~9-10wks old) had some troubles with tail feathers growing in that were still working on. But it’s face is MUCH more red than the other buff, whose...

She’s a year old and the run is dry!

Okay thanks I’ll get her some scrambled eggs. I also have mealworms would that be okay for her??

She’s on medicated starter/grower that is 18% protein… anything else I can do?

this is what i’ve been giving them, what should i get???

This was really hard to get a photo of, but it’s this normal looking?There’s a spiky texture to the bottom of her foot and a small soft lump in the center. Is it bumblefoot or something else or totally normal?

I have two month old pullets, all have been fully feathered for several weeks. All except for this one. We just got through treating a nasty scab on her back from her picking at herself (hence the purple stain, thanks Blu-Kote). Now her feathers are finally coming in there, but they look…...

Just over a month. I hope so, we can’t have another roo

The one that we just put down and the other “older” ones are all one year old. We also have some that are a mix of 1-2 months old, but they’re not all together yet.

My girl started stumbling Thursday night and made it to this morning with only some worse stumbling/leg collapse. I’ve seen most places that Marek’s usually progresses over 24-72 hours. None of the others are showing symptoms that I can tell. I’m taking this as a good sign?

I took our girl to the vet and the diagnosis was Marek’s, they put her down. I guess all we can do is hope for the rest of the flock and keep an eye out for symptoms? Silly question- is it strictly an avian disease or are other pets at any risk?

I’ve been posting on here about my chicken that is having balance and coordination issues, falling down. I just was in her favorite foraging area and found this mushroom that appears to have been nibbled on. Does anyone know anything about mushrooms and if this could have caused it? She’s been...
