    What in the world is going on?!

    Thanks for your advice on this! She’s made a full recovery but now I’m wondering, is this something likely to continue? Do I need to continue supplementation or could it be a one time thing? I do have rooster booster I could add to the water for all if that’s helpful.

    What could cause vit e deficiency in just one chicken if all are eating the same food?

    What in the world is going on?!

    I hope this won’t be too long, apologies in advance! I have an 11 week old Orpington and on Monday she was speeding around the run, catching bugs, playing, acting completely normal. Eating and drinking normally as well. Yesterday morning we found her laying down with a completely limp neck...

    What killed my hen yesterday :(

    I’m sorry you lost your hen like this, it’s always such a tough thing. To me, it looks like a hawk grabbed it and dropped it from the air like then tend to do, but then must have gotten scared off before anything further happened. Let’s see what others say but in any case, I’m sorry for your loss!

    Salmon Favorelles - 2 weeks old

    My gal had slightly darker feathers than a pure breed but never black feathering in the shoulders or chest. It’s hard to see in the picture, is there black coming in on the chest?

    Early thoughts on sapphire olive egger?

    So stumped!!

    This is an 11 week old sapphire olive egger that has me so confused. I’ve gone back and forth on gal/guy and still don’t feel certain. It’s face is SO red, none of my others of same age are. It acts and sounds completely different and is often picking fights with my young cockerel...

    Salmon Favorelles - 2 weeks old

    Some Faverolles that are hatchery quality (like mine) might have some off standard coloring in the wings, face but I’ve found that any black that shows on the chest or shoulders is a male. The wings here make me lean cockerel but the tell-tale sign will be the chest. Here’s mine at close to four...

    All I can say is mine that ended up being a rooster had that exact wing coloring, even that early 😅

    Cooper Maran chicks hens or roosters?

    In my experience, marans have faster comb development than some breeds. However, to my eye, I’m seeing two, possibly three cockerels based on these photos. Let’s see what others have to say!

    Any guesses on this Light Brahma?

    Me thinks they are both young sirs.
