Thanks for the reply. After doing a little more research I read that same information you gave me. I gave him a week and he didn't improve so I did have to cull him since one of the other roosters was trying to kill him. I appreciate the information
I had 5 mutt babies hatch out 2 years ago. One rooster got a fever at 3 weeks and had a lot of muscle weakness. He lived 6 months. Then another rooster at 2 yrs all of a sudden became weak. He was the lead rooster up till this point. I dont think this is mareks because none of my other 18 are...
I have a golden laced Wyandotte who has been sick for 2wks. Started with fever and lethargy and not eating. Gave her duramycin SQ/IM 3days and SQ fluids, force feeding mush and she seemed to get better. Started eating and drinking. No signs of blockage or egg binding. Poop looks OK. But now she...
Thanks donrae and starrisky! I was worried the larger one was a roo because she grew so much faster and had a deep duck sounding cluck. LOL. You guys think the smaller one will catch up eventually? She is eating well.
I have 2 blue Maran. One was stunted from eating some great stuff I think. Her new name is blue girl $155 due to my vet bill LOL. I'm not sure on the gender of the larger one. Not sure exactly how old they are. 8-10 weeks maybe. Any guesses?
So my sneaky cream legbar hen hatched out 5 babies under a bush. Dad is also a cream legbar. Only one chick is hers. I originally thought they were from either Wyandotte or barred rock but not so sure now. The other 4 could be from silver laced Wyandotte, golden laced Wyandotte, Easter eager...
Anyone know what a CCL male and either silver laced wyandotte or bared rock will look like? I had a sneaky hen hatch our 5 babies on me in the bushes! 4 are black with a little white on chest, 2 have yellow legs and rose combs( guessing wyandotte) the other have darker legs and tiny dark combs...
you have any pics? i had a broody hen hatch out some CL-dad with silver laced wyandot hen I think, just curious what they will look like. I think i have a couple bared rock mises too.
This was supposed to be a copper maran but looks like an olive egger. Do you think she could be a hen? Thought it was a roster because of her big legs and long tail but not sure now. Not crowing yet.
Thanks for the advice. The vent was allowing the cold air to blow directly on their heads when it was windy. I could see the cobwebs blowing. There's a good amount of ventilation since the 2 windows are just storm windows and don't seal very well and air gets in around the door. Although my coop...
Had to add space vertically to my coop for some new additions and minimize the mess for winter months when the chickens would be going out less. (It gets pretty cold in Michigan some times). l saw a post where there were bins below the roosts and decided to try pull out bins with sand in them...
