I would guess that he has an impacted crop then. That's what happened with poor Ugly. I noticed that her crop looked full, but didn't really think anything of it, until I picked her up one day, and she was really, really thin. Poor thing. There are a couple posts on here about how to do a...
Poor thing. . How old is he? I was thinking some form of heart failure, but I looked it up, and it could be a bunch of things. His poor eyes look swollen too.
I've had 2 hens with an impacted crop. I didn't catch the first one in time, and she died. I was going to attempt crop surgery for...
The problem is BLRW include Black laced red, blue laced red, and splash laced red. You could get any of them as BLRW's.
Breeding 2 BLRW:
Blue X Blue = 25% Black, 50% Blue, 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash X Splash = Splash
Here is a link where they go more into the...
Cute!! I think I have some of their brothers and sisters. You got these from Papa Brooder, right? The first two look like Black Laced Red, Not sure on #3. Cute chicks!!
SO EXCITING!!!!
I hate when that happens. It seems like it's all or nothing sometimes.
I process mine when they start crowing consistently.
I tell my meaties all the time. "You are going to be so delicious, aren't you." or "eat..... Eat" Hansel and Gretle Style
"If it were me I would...

My little Bantam RIR chick is doing great!!! I was worried because she too a long time to hatch, and was very weak for a couple day. Now you would never know. I had 2 BLRW's with splayed leg (I got them at a day old). I did tape hobbles for several days, and now they are walking fine...
Okay mine has slate legs, yellow beak, and the earlobes look, ummm, skin color. I don't know, does ear color come in later? I haven't looked on the Ideal site in the last week or so, but several weeks ago when I was first trying to figure out what he is.
That must have been what I was looking at. I think I googled OEGB colors.
I've been looking it up a bit, and I don't know how you would even be able to tell the difference between a Silver laced OEGB, and a SL Sebright. The comb is the only sure difference so far. He doesn't have the clean...
That's what it must be then. I looked up OEGB colors, but silver Laced didn't show up.
Any one good on Silkie Colors? I know one of these is white (with darker places), one is buff, but I'm not sure what the darker one is. It's a weird color.
No, because it's skinny, and "sleek". I know most Orps a super fluffy. It's not a polish because it doesn't have head feathers. It's weird that I haven't been able to find anything like it. All of the Game Birds don't come in that color. It's can't be a "project" because it came from a hatchery.
Yes, they have rose combs and Walter's is straight. He also doesn't have the same bright lacing or eye color. I'm thinking maybe some sort of bantam game bird, but I can't find any silver laced gamebirds.
Melvins Babies are getting huge!! They are about 12 weeks old now. My original "project" was Favorolles X Red Ranger, but that didn't happen. I know the black ones are Favorolles X Australorp. No Idea with the others. They sure are pretty though.
This is Walter. He is the most...
Awww. Sweet Wrinkled babies!!
Have you guys seen this? They found a bear right down the street from my house (Okay, it's probably 2 miles away, but....) I know we have Raccoons, and skunks, but a bear? Holy Cow...
I found a weird egg today. It has lots of grooves in it. I thought it was cracked at first, but it has grooved lines in the egg. What would cause that?
My parents raised rabbits for meat when I was little, our favorite was "rabbit-lada's" -enchilada's made with rabbit meat. They raise them in their backyard. They are pretty clean, and they don't take a lot of space to raise. My dad processes them, so from a price standpoint they are really...
