The first one is. Dola(the Brahma mix) is a few days younger I’m glad Dola is looking in the clear!! But dang of course it’s my favorite who’s looking like a rooster 🤦

Agreed saline really saved my chick for sure! I used my piercing aftercare saline so I knew it was 100% sterile. She didn’t open her eyes until she was 3/4 days old. She’s happy and healthy now! Edit; I just saw your update. I’m so sorry :( you did your best. As sad as it is some chicks just...

Now Tombo and Dola are looking concerning too 😫 just recently learned 2 of my other chicks are cockerels too based off their color (ended up the mix made sexlinked chicks and the only 2 I got of that mix were cockerels)

I can’t keep my girls from eating apple seeds lol, my neighbors grow them. But what’s up with rhubarb? I don’t think they eat it but I do have a rhubarb plant, should I block it off from them just incase? I don’t feed my girls anything moldy, too sugary or citrus too!

With the amount of racers here I’d imagine they sell some sort of pigeon specific feed… if not I’ll ask the pigeon owner I know for his recipe. Thank you!

Haha yeah! I still have scars from my old 6 year old male conure. I don’t mind it, I understand they’re hormonal!

He does have a mix of flowering from his dad and partial white from his momma(I’ve gotten fully white or fully orange chickens from her before) which could make it look patchy? But I did think the placement of the orange was a bit… rooster-y If I still have him I’ll update here! He might be...

Now.. I know how behavior is easily written off as him being his mother’s sassy chick but I don’t think I can deny him being a cockerel any longer. Thought it should confirm.. thick legs, reddening comb, tidbitting and dominant chick(I know hens can be dominant chicks, I just also know it can...

I’m getting my first pigeons/doves this year(I have experience with exotics) I’m looking for cheap but reliable and safe brands for their supplies/food? And any other info I need to know. I’m currently researching them through my ornithology books. Not positive on breed yet, either...

So not really a full story but it’s funny! Today I was at an interview(got hired!) at a pet resort(dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, bunnies, parrots) and was informed people have tried bringing their chickens/chicken flocks in for boarding 😂

Well shoot looks like they’re going to new homes in a few months then 😅 (they’ll stick around until they start maturing just so I can socialize them more so that they’ll be less likely to become stew pot agressive)

So the last two(the white and black ones; Brahma mixed) are definitely roosters?

Is the “golden” in golden deathlayers non-dominant? I have a couple pures and a few mixes, the rooster is a golden deathlayer. The white and black ones have a Brahma momma, the multi-colored has a white Jersey giant momma and the black one has a lavender Orpington momma. Now what's confusing...

Ohh like a blue copper maran! Thank you!

I have seen that! But couldn’t find any that is splash x black copper 😅
