I'm getting ready to do a scholarship for my 4-H poultry club and I'm deciding between 2 breeds. These chickens are going to be shown, and not put with my home flock, if that makes a difference. The two breeds I've narrowed it down to are Buff Brahma Bantams and Bearded d'Anvers Bantams (not...

My White cochin hen's feet have basically died. She can't move her toes or roost. I originally thought she was just sick and put her with my old roo. She was doing great and today I moved the two into my extra coop, but when I was showing them the roosts I noticed her feet were... black. I...

One of my BO roos is not in very good shape. He keeps his tail very low (almost dragging the ground). He can hardly keep his eyes open and he keeps his head held tight against his shoulders. He seems to be very weak and can't keep his wings up against his body or walk very much. He does have his...

Now I have pics! His name is Silver Head, because when he was younger he had, well, a silverish head. But now his head and hackles has more yellow colored feathers with spots of brownish red, and he has a kinda rose comb I guess (I never really understood the whole comb idea). His body is...

My large Cochin rooster makes an odd girgling noise pretty much everywhere he goes and the only times he doesn't make the noise is when he eats and when he runs full speed (that's right he even makes it when he sleeps). My other cochins don't make this noise at all. So is this normal? Should I...

One of my over bred hens is getting back her feathers, and they're blue! She's really balck and blue! They're more blackish on her body, but on her wings they're straight blue. Is this normal?

WOOT!!! My first egg from my pullets!!! It's about an inch and a half long, very light brown (Almost white), and I don't know who laid it. I have mostly brown egg layers (Buff Orps, Barred Rocks, a Red Star, etc.), a white egg layer (White Leghorn), about 10 mutts, and 3 Easter Eggers. I'm...

I showed Star(Red Star), Gertrude(BR), and Peaches(BO). Star won 2nd in breed and 2nd in variety. Gertrude won 1st in breed, 1st in variety, and champion in breed. Peaches won the same as Gertrude. Star was against a top quality Red Star hen sooo she lost, but they were the only two of that...

He said he'd give me a CX and Turken, he raised them for meat. What is the best way to trim them down to a healthy weight? Exercise? Minimal feeding?
