I recently posted a thread showing pictures of my newest flock members, 5 week old Wyandottes and Opringtons. The consensus was that I most likely have 2 Wyandotte cockerels. Additionally, I have a 2 year old Buff Orpington rooster. The rooster is separated from the hens, he lives in his own run...

I ordered 5 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, and they all look drastically different. This is my first time with the breed. I suspect #5 is a cockerel, but I can't tell if any more are. Some are showing a lot of blue coloration, but others look black and gold. I don't know if this is normal for Blue...

I am having problems with my Rhode Island Red/New Hampshire Red crosses. They are all about 4 years old and are exhibiting the same symptoms: lethargy, weakness, dizziness, and poor balance. It started with one, a few months ago she was laying lash eggs and the other symptoms came on. She's...

I have an assortment of chickens, mostly duel purpose breeds (predominately Orpintons or Orpington mixes). I've hatched out a few roosters in the past but never ended up butchering.

HELP! I have an 8 month old Anonca rooster who is suddenly unable to walk and is very shaky. He was fine all day yesterday, eating, drinking, crowing, etc. I even heard him crowing early this morning (as per usual). However when I went to let him out of the coop he didn't want to come off the...

I have a Ameraucana hen who has sour crop. I can feel seed and pellet chunks in her crop but she hasn't had access to these in days (as I've had her in a cage indoors). She has a foul smell coming from her beak, which is how I know she has sour crop. When I discovered it her crop was quit mushy...
