Here are the pics of my friends breeding stock. What do y’all think? Also does the chipmunk stripes on the chicks mean it’s a girl and the ones without are boys? What breeds do you reckon the parents could be since they’re clearly not RIR based on the pic?

How exactly are Rhode Island whites bred? My friend is selling Rhode Island chicks but never specified if both parents are rir or one rir and riw and the chicks turned out like this. What do you think?

Hello everyone, would the chicks of a Rhode Island roo over a Rhode Island hen be red sex links? what would be the outcome of a thode island roo over an ISA brown hen? Please help as I am managing my flock breeds and trying to get autosexing or sex linked breeds.

Hello everyone, would a Rhode Island roo over a Rhode Island hen result in sex links? Or would a thode island roo over a ISA brown be sex links? Please help as I’m trying to manage flock breeds and get auto sexing breeds.

Update: there was a small crack in the egg, perhaps that’s why she ditched it? I was planning on putting fertile eggs from my friends chickens under her if she was broody. I was just a bit confused as she sat on it for 20-30mins consistently with no problems then started screaming trying to get...

Hello, my 6 month old rhode rock hen laid an egg today morning and rolled it under her. The egg wouldn’t have been fertilized as we don’t have a cockerel. We put in some hay for her and she made a nest around it and sat on it for around 20 minutes. Then she started trying to escape and I let her...

Do you know what strand of mycoplasma she may be having? Her limbs are fine, she can walk proper just didn’t because she’s lethargic? BTW there’s no vet in my area that can take care of poultry, getting antibiotics is very difficult. Also with her eye, there’s nothing wrong with it. no...

The amoxicillin is 500mg, I only started treatment yesterday. I’ll give her some yogurt too :) my flock have flubenvet layers pellets which include dewormer in it but I also just give regular layers pellets

Hello everyone, one of my previous posts had to do with the same hen who is having problems now. A little context, she hasn’t laid since 2nd April which is unusual since she lays 4 times a week. She is a Hyline hen (egg production breed) and is almost 2 years old. I’m contemplating on what’s...

She’s like this

She’s silver/grey. Are EE typically sex linked?

Hello everyone, will a welsummer roo x araucana hen create a sex linked or auto sexing chick? I don’t really understand the concept about how to create a sex linked chick. if it is how would I be able to distinguish the males from females? Would the chicks be EE or olive Eggers?

She stopped laying 5-6 days ago (2 days before she got noticeably sick) we last dewormed our flock for roundworms and cocci, treatment lasted 6-7 days.

Nope, she’s always laid good eggs with proper shells. I checked her vent and there’s no mass or inflammation. What indicates that it may be a reproductive infection?

No antibiotics, I only have panadol (paracetamol) it’s a mild human pain killer medicine but I don’t know if it’ll help.

I’d advise giving her vitamin supplements like vitamin D and B. Offer her extra grit separately. have you noticed her struggling to breathe? Is there a bullying issue? I’d also suggest checking her legs for any injuries or if there’s something stuck in between her toes. It happened to my hen...

Hello! Thank you for your reply. I know that her breed usually dosen’t live long as their production breeds but she’s not 2 yet, she was perfectly fine 4 days ago but then started being away from the flock etc… she’s gotten a bit better, not sleeping inside her wing as often, walking and moving...

Thank you for your reply! She’s been acting strangely for the past 2-3 days; not eating (having to get force fed),lost weight, not firm poops and it smells a lot, hasn’t laid in a week, lethargy and sleeping with her head in her wing. I don’t suspect she has any other forms of mareks only the...

Do you know how long it takes for a chicken with ocular marek symptoms to be properly diagnosed with it since it’s apparent? I know it happens over time but how long is that? A few months? I’m really worried as it’s not a perfect circle but other than that her eyesight seems fine.

Hello, can you take a look at my most recent thread? It’s to do with suspected ocular mareks. Please help!!
