My friend’s hen is displaying some very weird symptoms. See video:
She is about 2-3 year old. Rather sudden onset. Seems to be completely blind now as well. Pupils are different sizes, one eye she keeps closing, and she has a weird drifting in her neck. I’m wondering if it could be marek’s...
We moved a few months ago and brought our flock of five with us. While the other four are thrilled with the new digs, one of our girls – a 3-yo beautiful Australorp - hasn’t adjusted and is clearly unhappy here.
Our pecking order is kind of three at the top, one at the bottom, and our unhappy...
I have a sneaking suspicion that I know the answer but… rooster or hen? Around three months old. The others have no where near the size of comb this one does
Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins.
And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?
Hello, new to BYC, I'm looking for advice on one of my hens, I've noticed for a few weeks that her droppings have been very watery. She is the only one with this. The flock was dewormed recently and doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, just droppings that are mostly normal in color, just...
Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.
Hello all!
I have a ~4-5 month old Sapphire Gem hen that has stopped using her left foot. I am not aware of any accidents that she had, she just started doing it out of the blue one day but was fine beforehand. She can still retract her left leg at the "knee", but its like she no longer has...
I have a year old silkie hen(named bubba), this is her first time having chicks so i do know not everything is going to be perfect.
For the past week or week and a half my silkie mama has been leaving her chicks to come get pets from me or to hang out with the roosters, and leaving her chicks...
Hello friends,
I need some advice. I have two broody hens sitting on two fertilised eggs each, which I gave them because I don't have the heart to break their brooding, especially because one of them is 10 years old. They still have 10 days to go till the eggs hatch. Problem is the flock has...
Pullet or Cockerel?? 10.5 weeks Mystic Maran. The black comb and wattles are throwing me off. This one is larger than the others. My husband said he heard a little one trying to crow and I’m trying to figure out who the culprit is 😂
Someone also told me that Mystic Marans do not have black...
