I'm sorry if I wasn't clear last time you asked.. it's a pullet (juvenile female) and "brownish" is what's expected from the females.. I don't see any new pictures though.. happy to confirm again! :pop

Lots of things are in the nightshade family and will not cause harm.. tomato plants for example. Do you know what variety you're dealing with? Atropa Belladona.. is deadly nightshade and may be identified by it's flower color and shape among other things...

I'm not sure how blue genes or two copies which make splash might also affect melanin production in the skin.. but I suspect it may.. with some supporting experiential evidence.. I did notice the legs and I've not personally seen that drastic of change but also don't keep my birds around too...

That color is known as Splash.. some confusingly call it blue splash. Interesting that most the color has molted out.. making him appear as though he's white. He looks quite gamey, which I'm VERY unfamiliar with game breed chickens.. That's a pea comb.. maybe Sumatra...

Welcome to BYC! :frow I agree gold laced Wyandotte pullet. I wouldn't worry about mixing with the flock as long as it's done at the same time as the othr chicks.

They're sex linked.. by barring.. that's a lovely pullet! 🥰

Hi there and welcome to BYC! :frow I agree.. a red or gold sex link. They may be sold under different names such as Golden Comet, Isa Brown, etc.

Hello and welcome, hope you're enjoying BYC! :frow I was also thinking that it could possibly be vulture hocks.. which are acceptable and normal in some breeds like D'uccle but not other like Silkie making it a DQ for showing or breeding to the standard at all, not just for show.. keeping it...

Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow Describe feed routine including treats and supplements. Sometimes, feather (or hair) loss can be from diminished protein.

Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow How old are your birds? I have had chick poop look similar in size and shape.. but not from hens.. and I usually expect to see a bit of white or white cap.. Looks like rat to me.. Image taken from link that follows it.. https://thebugmaster.com/rodent-droppings/

Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow I agree that she looks to be crossed and *possibly* EE or OE. Where's she from? Have you seen her eggs yet?

An unscientific explanation is the very last thing that happens before a chick hatches out of its shell is it absorbs the yolk into its abdomen via the naval.. which ideally is closed before hatch is complete. This absorbed yolk is what provides moisture and nutrients that allow about 3 days for...

Hi there, welcome to BYC! :frow Nice catch on the details of that image.. Now when I post something, I usually try to include the link OR that it was posted from google images, etc.. not my own.. apparently.. that didn't happen for the post you've quoted. I also try not to post inaccurate...

Cross or hybrid.. rocks have yellow skin while Marans have white.. and you've already noted Rock don't get feathered legs. They're not feathered enough to be brahma or Cochin I can't make out the comb.. doesn't look straight from what I can see. That large of head spot.. is usually indicative...

...once it dries out. I recommend against DE on the birds or in the dust bathing holes, you'll both be breathing it every time they shake out.. *maybe* something like a little wood ash or peat moss.. With over 2500 species of mites in existence.. according to my current understanding.. there...

Welcome to BYC! :frow How many are you looking for? Have you already checked your local or other nearby craigslist farm and garden section? That's the place I most often see those types of listings in my area.

Others are correct.. Belt sent the wrong breed or misidentified it.. looks like a red sex link type cockerel.

Excess calcium ingestion is a long term killer not a short term one.. according to my current understanding. No, under NO circumstances would trying to help your hen be "murder".. even if it is specifically euthanasia. Doesn't seem necessary but if you want laboratory feedback on her condition...

Welcome to BYC! :frow How long have the comb and wattles been red like that?

Hi, welcome to BYC! :frow Probably from preening.. even by a flockmate next to her on roost, since it's only one side?? Or maybe she's rubbing the wall or other barrier going in and out of the coop, etc?? Feathers won't improve until they are molted out and replaced. They can get a bit ragged...
