I know this is old, but having the same problem. Got one free in an order, but they don’t mix well with my wyandottes. :( currently trying to find him a new home!!
I do, and I appreciate your help. Do these typically do better with smaller chickens (bantams, etc. I guess this is a Polish crested?). We have wyandottes and orpingtons and they are savage to this poor guy.
This chicken is so sweet, but the company we got it from put it in for free (wish they didn’t), and it does NOT mix well with our chickens. I’ve tried everything, and I don’t have room to just leave it by itself so I’m trying to find it a new home that has it’s breed. They keep pecking it’s...
Got this along with others at TSC, hatched at the end of July. Does this look like a rooster too? It’s beautiful. They were supposed to be pullets, but I think they just put them all together and clearanced them out. Thanks!
Thank you for responding!! I’ll try to get one tomorrow a better look at the skin. This is actually exactly what it sounds like. She is eating fine. I’m reading to let it heal and one to pop it with a needle? If this is the case what would you recommend? I’m wondering if a door on the coop...
Thanks for responding! She is good everywhere else. I’ll try to get a picture, just kinda hard with all the feathers, I don’t even see a spot where it could be an infection bite etc. So weird!
My daughter picked up one of the chickens and noticed that it’s side above the leg area was swollen. I checked her today and there is like fluid that moves around right there. I circled the area that it’s at. It feels like sour croup (air and fluid) just in the wrong spot. She seems fine...
These are all around the same age but this black and reddish color one seems way bigger and more red. It was from the pullets at TSC - prairie bluebell eggers. Hatched in July.
Thanks so much.
Ordered some chicks, one is supposed to be a rooster, they are around 7 weeks old. May still be early, but it’s pretty red. They are all beautiful though!
