Came home from a weekend away to a lethargic girl. Thought at first she’d just turned broody. Pushed her off the nest and realized she had bad buildup around her vent (we’d only been gone 2 nights and she was fine Friday). Cleaned her up with a warm water soak and put her back in the coop. Vent...
And then these last two are the same breed. Think these are either 8 or 9 in the original post. Any idea what? We think one is a pullet and the other may be a cockerel.
6 week old #4. We think a hen
6week old #5. Same breed at 4. Is this a roo?
Thanks everyone for you help! We got a couple more to ID, but we’re almost there!
here are the others that are up in the air. A couple of these we thought were the same, as they’ve grown, they’re definitely not.
6 week old #1: we didn’t get a picture of her as a newborn chick (hopefully a...
Ok, so this is chick #2 at 6 weeks. Any guesses now? Lakenvelder seems to be best guess. Several others have changed a bit since the initial post. I'll have some pictures of them up soon.
Chick turned 2 weeks old on Monday. Late last week, noticed she was having a hard time moving around the brooder. We did the bandaid thing for the past 4 days, but doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Is this splayed leg or something else? She holds the left leg way out to her side and hops...
Great feedback! A quick Google search and #10 does match an Egyptian Fayoumi. Can you sex those at a few days old by their wing feathers (or another means)?
Hey everyone, we got 25 pullet chicks from McMurray Hatchery in their Ornamental Egg Layers mix. Can we get some help in ID'ing these pretty girls? I have additional pictures of each, but didn't want this original post to be a mile long. Any input is appreciated!
Chick 1 - Assuming this is a...
Yes, I’ve got a video. Let me get it uploaded and post the link here. I’ll do that this evening.
No, never had anything like this happen. We’ve got 16 birds total, all hens. Have lost a couple over the years, but no leg injuries (or problems with legs) or problems walking.
We feed Nutrena...
So, we’ve had this mystic black onyx since she was a pullet in early May. About a month, maybe 6 weeks ago, I came out to her laying in a submissive position with the other girls attacking her in the run. I grabbed her and put her in our secondary pen with another pullet that had an injury. I...
