I have a vet appt for my baby blue runner duck in a week, but I feel so bad for her, hoping someone can tell me what this is! When she tries to walk her leg can barely hold any weight and it twists in on itself, then she falls over :( Could this be an infection of some type? There isn't a whole...

Hey I have a buff orpington that has been sitting on 4 eggs, for almost her full three weeks (Friday will be 21 days) I have candled them and they are all moving around. She is in a box that is about 2.5 feet off of the floor. She shares the coop with 9 other hens and a rooster. I also have an...

I have 13 chickens, larger breeds in a green house about 5'X8'. It is a hard framed green house. This is their actual coop, no vegetation inside, it has worked out great so far, they've been in it since may/june. They have an enclosed larger outside run. I am wondering about whether or not they...

Hey I have three different breeds of roosters. I have to get rid of one possibly two because my flock is not that big (about 18 girls). I know the temperment varies on each actual bird, but they are young yet, they eat a ton, and Im going to have to give away one or two anyway, so I might as...

Do Jersey Giant pullets have large combs early on? Do the cockerels always feather slower than the pullets? Does the comb color blackish red vs. redish yellow necessarily mean male or female. Some of my non gendered jerseys have very small combs for 6 weeks and some have much larger. I can post...

Supposed to have 5 New Hampshires, three are chesnut red (like the one in the back) and the other two look like the one in the front. Is this really a NH? They are all the same age, about 6 weeks. Id love any thoughts on this! Thanks

I have 6 jeresy black giants around 5 or 6 weeks old that weren't gendered. One I can tell by its comb and wattle, and scarce feathering that it is a cockerel. But after feeding them earlier today, Im questioning 2 of the other ones as well. Three of them have obviously small combs and barely...

I have 5 new hampshire red chicks, about 4 weeks old now. Now that they are pretty well feathered 3 are dark red and 2 are very light, tanish almost. They are supposed to be all females since they came from a hatchery. Do their colors vary in the females? Also have 6 Jersey giants about 5...

Hey, new to the chicken scene, but do have a beautiful Salmon Favorelle. Got her(?) from a local elementary school who hatched them in their classroom. I also got 6 Black Jersey Giants, and she was the lone Salmon Favorelle, so I have nothing to compare he coloring to. Does anyone have an...
