@chooksman @kcrandall I will keep this in mind going forward. Thank you both for your advice. Little Diana continues to eat, drink and respond to my voice with chirping. I can't express how over the moon happy this makes me!

She's eating and drinking! :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate 🙏 😍

She's standing up!!!! I'm so happy to see her stand! I do give them ACV on a regular basis. Right now, it's just the medicated water with Corid. I'll ofer her some more eggs and see if she'll eat.

I do not feed a medicated food. However, the entire flock is currently being treated with Corid as a precaution because we found blood in stool of one bird in another of our coops. They are 8 days into the treatment. Regarding the Marans, they have not displayed any symptoms. Stools have all...

I found one of my BCM pullets last night when I went to shut up the coop. She was laying on her side, eyes closed, barely breathing. She offered no resistance at all when I picked her up. I brought her in the house, held her against my chest and wrapped her up like that till about 2 this...

One of my four and a half week old cockerels is crowing! :lau He sounds broken but it's so cute! (yes... I'm a total newbie) Also, @Chooks man , so far, your "guesses" as to gender are right on target. The few that you didn't indicate, I guessed at and somehow, we both managed to be correct...

That was my understanding about the wings bands also. But then I read a bit from a family that used them and when they culled a few of the roosters, they noticed serious issues with a lack of muscle development in the wings that were banded vs the wings that weren't. I suppose it's possible they...

I wondered about wing banding. I very nearly decided I was going to go that route and then I read that it has long term detrimental effects to the wing muscles. So I tabled the idea until I can learn more and make a better decision. Right now, I'm using zip strips to identify each group and in...

Okay, this does make sense. So, for me, I kinda have the same goal but I haven't known how to manage it. I have three groups (lines). The first is a single pullet that I hatched July 8th. There were 18 eggs but only one hatched. That pullet came from Omega Hills. The second group (line) are 2...

@Punkybrewster please explain what you mean when you say they are line #1. I've noticed a lot of people referring to their chickens from pen# or line#. I have no idea what that means except to assume they have lots and lots of different coops? It's a bit confusing to me. I'm sure it's some sort...

While I'm not the OP, I'm grateful for this information. I have so much to learn. I'm almost embarrassed to say I didn't know anything about either of the Marans club. Thank you!

@Chooks man I want to say thank you again for taking the time to evaluate my pictures... there were a lot of them! I have compiled your comments along with my own notes in a document for my own reference. I have so much to learn! If I'm going to do something, it's always been important to me to...

She's the tiniest one in the bunch but I adore her! I'm already calling her my Bella. Thank you so much for the input!
