    EE with copper on wings?

    I just came across a comment that said Easter Eggers with copper on their wings are cockerel specific. I’ve been watching this white one, thinking it’s a little man for a while, but I haven’t been too sure because I am not sure of the breed 100% because I have another definite EE because of...

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    Thanks for all the help, everyone! My husband and I talked it over and decided that culling was in the best interest of my current flock, especially since I have 13 I’ve raised inside due to go out in a few weeks. This is my first cull, but I knew going into chicken owning sometimes it’s...

    Coryza is pretty fast to show symptoms, but MG can take weeks unfortunately.

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    The first few days they were in the same run as my main flock, but in a separate coop/small run inside. Then they moved into their own run beside this flock. They’ve never shared housing or food or water. I am a bit worried about whatever droppings would have been left in the main run. It’s been...

    Reading up more on it, it seems a lot of people choose to cull for canker. Even treatment can be a temporary fix if it works?

    I am very worried of that being the case because he presented with respiratory issues two weeks before any of the yellow showed up in his mouth. I’m relatively new at chicken-ing and am wholly not ready to have to cull him and the hen he has been with, but with 7 adults and 13 babies that’ll go...

    Yikes! I was hoping it would be a “he has this, and this treats it” situation, but with all the respiratory illness possibilities I’m not hopeful.

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    When I’m holding him I can swear that he smells bad, but when I try to sniff closer to inside his mouth there’s no increase in the smell or anything. So I genuinely don’t know.

    I forgot to add before I got to look at him, my husband took this photo and said he had several of these lumps on both sides. By the time I seen, there was no lumps like that, so I’m unsure if it was maybe something he was eating just stuck or if it is part of what’s going on.

    Please help identify what is in my roosters beak!

    Backstory: I got a bantam pair from a swap (after saying I’d never do that). Three days later I noticed the rooster was sneezing/or coughing, lightly gasping periodically, and had foam coming from his beak. I’ve been giving him tiagard for a week to no resolve, he still sneezes/coughs and...

    6 weeks- can we tell breed yet?

    Number one, I’ve thought maybe cream legbar cockerel, but it doesn’t seem crested to me.

    6 weeks- can we tell breed yet?

    That’s the one I’m suspicious about, and of course I’ve babied that one to death too, so that would likely be the case haha

    6 weeks- can we tell breed yet?

    Does anybody want to help guess some chicken breeds? Just over 6 weeks old. From RK, most were unlabeled. Options they should have had: Welsummer Cream legbar Welbar Easter or Olive Egger Barred Rock Black Australorp Silver Laced Wyandotte Cinnamon Queen And then there are definitely some...

    Tiagard or amoxicillin?

    My bantam roo has a slight respiratory infection. He’s still eating and drinking, so nothing has taken a turn too badly yet. No eye swelling or leakage, just mucus mouth and cough/sneezes. Tylan 50 is out of stock. I have amoxicillin and can purchase tiagard. Which would be better to treat with?
