    Chicks ears look swollen?

    This new flock is giving me a run for my money. The flock is twitching their heads, occasionally sneezing and scratching their heads. I separated two because they were showing signs before any of the others. Well now I look and it seems like around their ears are swollen and missing feathers...

    Head twitch and sneezing

    UPDATE: I ORDERED TYLOSIN FROM JEDDS THAT WILL BE HERE BY THE 29th. WISH MY FLOCK LUCK. 🤞🏼 I posted yesterday about my 5 - 6 week old chicks twitching their heads. I was holding two today and they both sneezed where clear mucus sprayed out a bit on my arm. I put vetrx, nutri drench, and poultry...

    5 week old chick twitching

    My 5-6 week old black australorp started twitching a week ago. This one is the first one that started twitching and occasionally sneezing. Despite separating them, the whole flock is now. They’ll even twitch while asleep or resting. Treating with - vetrx, nutri drench, and poultry cell in...

    Ameraucana Genetics Clarification

    Which color Ameraucana parents would produce 50% Silver - 25% Black - 25% Splash? Would ANY pairing be able to produce this percentage of these colors? I purchased a dozen hatching eggs from someone who appears to be at least an honest seller. She has very good feedback, but that probability...

    How long should I wait for my hens to start laying before I should be worried?

    I have 4 chickens - 2 black australorps and 2 rhode island reds. All were about a week old when we got them on june 22nd. In that time, we had a big move to an area 2 and half hours northeast of where we were in Pennsylvania. We had sprung backwards due to daylight savings where we start to...

    Black Australorp x RIR or GSL

    Hello everyone! We just had three chicks hatch in our broody-hen pen, and I was wondering if anyone knew what these little guys are! (I know NOTHING of chicken genetics.) We have one lone rooster so it’s no question who the father is, but we have three different mother possibilities. We have...

    When will my girls start laying?

    I have five 29-week old Black Australorp hens and still no sign of an egg from any of them! They have been on layers pellets since 23 weeks and appear happy and healthy. I am starting to wonder if the breeder wasn't honest about heir date of birth, but I don't know how to age them. Here is a...

    Black Australorp - Roo or Pullet 5 weeks old

    Hey Everyone! I've been researching sexing Black Australorps and I'm at all loss here, so I'm hoping someone might have experience with this breed and help me out :) We added to our flock this year and I was so excited to find Black Australorps at our local feed store. They were supposed to be...

    Suspect of being roosters 🤣

    Hello! I’ve had these chicks since beginning of March. The feed store said they were a mix. RIR and Black Australorps. Now I have 9 of them…I’m guessing 2 BAs are Roos and 3 maybe 4 RIRs are Roos. The BAs have bigger combs than the other two and much stockier and thicker legs with bigger feet...

    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

    Mystery bumps/bites on Roosters comb?

    Hi all- My black australourp has a ton of bumps/bites on his comb/wattles. I thought it could be mosquito bites being that I live on a bayou, but if that were the case why don’t any of my other hens & Roos in the flock have them? Is this something to be concerned with or is it just mosquitoes...

    Producing my own crosses

    A lot of people were hating on other breeders that cross their chickens with other breed. Here is my opinion: As long as you are treating your chickens right (by providing their basic necessities) and breeding to create chickens with distinct characteristics like for more meat, eggs, color...
