Hello recently i noticed my brown leghorn rooster has been getting weak. His comb is flopped over to the side and is getting darker, also has been losing weight. I had him in a bachelor group but I think he got pushed to lowest in pecking order. Could it be stress or parasites maybe?
These 2 chicks are full siblings just hatched about 2 weeks apart. The older chick looked about the same as the younger one maybe more red in the down. I would like to know if anyone has guesses on what the genetic color would be beside paint.
Does this cockeral look like he has blue I know he is genetically a paint. But his mother had no blue but i also don't this his father has it too. Also does it look like he has barring around his head or somd other coloration.
I have a at least 7 year old hen she has been looking down the last couple days. She is losing weight and is having lime green poop, her crop has water but i don't feel any food. Is there anything i can do or is she just dying for being old ?
