I feel like I’m posting on this topic way more than I should 🤦♀️ I have four newbies, one blue red laced Wyandotte, one lavender Cochin, one lavender Orpington, and one salmon favorolle. They are four months old, I put the Wyandotte in a local poultry show as a pullet, and they said she was a...
My golden comet chicken, almost 5 months old, was suddenly very lethargic this morning. She didnt run out of the coop with the rest of the birds, and just stayed on her roosting bar. She doesnt usually let me touch her, but shes letting me pick her up and inspect her without complaint now.
Her...
Hello everyone! I have a question. So me and my sister got 4 new chicks 20 weeks ago and they've been doing great until today. One of our chicks (named Chloe) started acting lethargic today. She is standing still and closing her eyes most of the day. She is still drinking water but not eating...
I return with my 3rd post of these 3 chickens, who are now almost 4 months old (3 months 3 weeks). Hopefully they will finally be old enough to definitively sex! I've been confident for a while that I have 1 pullet (n.o 1), and 1 rooster (n.o 3), but n.o 2 is throwing me off. Has a smaller comb...
So I just got four russian orlofs about 4 months ago, and all has been doing well. As far as I can tell, we have 3 roosters and 1 hen. Our hen has just recently has started being wobbly. When she stands up, she wobbles and when she tries to walk she face plants or falls on her side. She either...
One on my pullets passed suddenly yesterday which prompted a widespread inspection of the rest of the flock. This is the first year of having chickens and I thought things were going well - aside from the lice, which is another matter.
I have one wyandotte pullet (~4ish months) who has always...
Hi all, I have a 4 1/2 month old se right hen who recently fell ill and I have no idea what to do. Found bloody poop 2 weeks ago and treated everyone with corid for 5 days, now a week later symptoms are still present so we’re treating again. However, two days ago my se right started panting...
We have 4 buff Orpingtons and they are all 4 months old. One of them has a lager crown and gobble. We think she maybe a rooster, but this is our first flock so we have no idea. We haven’t heard a rooster crow from any of the them.
The first 2 photos are the chicken we think is rooster. The...
My 4 month old buff Orpington hen is hiding a bush. She was fine right before and all the sudden she ran to the bush. We have no idea why we think she might be laying an egg, but she is only 4 months old.
One of the chickens went on top of her and she started to do a “bagel” sound. We put them...
What would happen if you breed a 4 month old mixed female duck. The mix is Rouen/Cayuga if that helps. No eggs yet. I just wanted to know if it would harm the female. I am not just tossing them in a pen and breeding them or anything, I just wanted to know if it would seriously harm the females...
So I got my brahma hen today and whenever I get near them, they will start chirping like a little chick but it's sound kinda crack a little bit. Is it normal? They are around 4 months old and today is their first day here.
My 4 month old silkie chick just started wheezing a little bit today, and she's been breathing with her beak open and throwing her head back. She's also sleepier than normal and has barely eaten anything. She's drinking well though. I don't really want to put her on anything else since she's...
I just got liquid selenium for my 4 month silkie to help her absorb all the vitamin E she's getting, but I have no way of measuring the correct dosage. I know selenium is highly toxic if a chicken gets too much. The bottle has a dropper but no labels. Anyone have any advice? I'm supposed to give...
The silkie chick I'm treating for severe wry neck has these discolored spots in some places. I thought they were from her lice infestation but now that all the lice are gone, these spots have scabbed over but not gone away. She hasn't been able to stand or walk for a little over 2 weeks. I just...
I received these 4 month old chicks after a 4 hour road trip from Lahore to Islamabad.
When I received them, there was blood in the stool. On inquiring from the person who sent them, he said the chicks were never sick in the first place and that this is coccidiosis and that he will return the...
According to my city ordinance I am allowed only 3 hens. I have 2 4 month hens, and recently my neighbor's hens were killed by raccoons and they gave me their lone survivor, a 2 day old chick. My hens are not even laying yet and I'm afraid I have no idea how to handle this situation. Can I...
My little babes are almost 4 months old. Where does the time go? :hitHere we have Willie (barred rock rooster) Eggbert (grey Easter ‘Egger’ rooster), and me hens: Pippy (has a slightly deformed comb) Zippy (perfect comb), and Yolkie! :p
I have 2 gorgeous boys that were hatched in mid-August that need homes. I am near the Twin Falls area in Southern Idaho but I'm willing to travel, especially if I know they'll go to good homes. I have asked local farms and placed ads, but have had no interest shown in them :( Please, if you...
