    Feather-legged bantan

    So my new batch if chicks is a mix but this bantam I can't figure out a breed despite hours googling all the hatchery sites. It looks similar to my OEGB as a chick but this one has feathered legs. Any guesses?

    Panic! Problem at Meyer Hatchery made me change breeds :(

    Hi All, I spent 6 months looking forward to my newest chick order and my first roo (Black Jersey Giant). I wanted a HUGE, docile, pet rooster for my girls. I did all of the research in the world to make my decision. Now, Meyer just called to say that none of their Jersey eggs are viable. I also...

    White dandruff on floor coop

    I have two White Marans pullets. Once they became about 3-1/2 months I have noticed a white like dandruff on the coop floor. What is this and is this normal? I am new to Marans and feather legged/footed chickens. Thank you.

    Langshan??

    I have this 22 week old pullet and I'm just curious if I'm correct in guessing that she's a Langshan? She does have a greenish tint all over her feathers. The main thing that I noticed though... All of the Langshan pictures I have looked up have red combs and wattles. Hers are black. Does this...

    Mille fleurs?

    Hello I have a 4 month old Mille fleur. She’s extremely skittish even for a chicken that hasn’t been handled a lot. I got her from some guy in CT. Shes so skittish she runs so fast she trips over her long feathered feet. Does anyone know if she’d be okay if I clipped them shorter? And or how to...

    Help! Cochin without feathered feet?

    I received this chick from purely poultry, having included a Red frizzle Cochin bantam in my order. The other Cochins that I received were black and grey, and as Cochin-ish as expected. though this red One has some Cochin features, it is very different than any Cochin chick that I have had. It...

    Breed of bantam?

    What breed do you guys think she is ( brown one)? I was thinking maybe a belgian because she's brown and sort of speckled wings? She has feathered feet too and seems like a good flyer (she flew from an object about a foot and a half or more away from me onto my arm once). She's about 2 weeks...

    Is this normal or is something wrong?

    I can’t tell if my caramel brahmas have scaly leg mites/something else wrong or if this is what brahmas’ feet are supposed to look like. Thanks!!!

    Lameness - 2 roos

    I'm not sure if it's breeding injuries but both my Marans roos are mildly lame, some days worse than others. At first I thought that a couple of the feather shafts in one of the toes of Mukluk (roo #1) was causing him to gimp around, now I'm not so sure that's it. He walks like he had chinese...

    two bantams same breed but one has row of spikes on comb already?!

    Only couple weeks old. Im in shock one has a defined row of points on comb already. Would this indicate its a roo only at a couple weeks old as the other one has a flat comb with no points or spikes.
