Any ideas on what breed/breeds this bantam rooster might be?

feeds@yuku.com (maise) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:42:55 GMT

Just had a neighbour drop this guy off to me, having found him up the road. He's a small but not as small as a Old English Game Bantam, nice looking boy. Bit of scaly leg but otherwise fine. Any ideas as to what breed or breeds he might be? Can't seem to make these pictures any bigger but if you look on My Images and view as a slideshow you can see much better. The feathers on his chest are almost laced, having a pale centre stripe.

I'm new but have been popping in for info.

Hey everybody. I was just reading the thread in here about bringing back the BB to what it used to be. I'll bet my story isn't much different than some others. I found this sight because I started raisning chickens in my back yard in the city and don't know jack about what I'm doing. So far most of my info has come from just reading all the threads. It has also been very helpful when I have specific questions. Folks have been very kind and helped me with my exact...

Is this feather mite?

feeds@yuku.com (gspieler) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:05:09 GMT

This situation is new to me. From what I've seen on this board, I'm wondering if Hanna Banana has feather mites?

How do you know and how is it treated? Ugh

Thanks,

Chick Chair sighting

feeds@yuku.com (Sunnyup) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:19:40 GMT

Chick Chair was looking well when sighted over the weekend. My dh and I went to Poulsbo on Saturday and we had a very nice visit with Cindi and her daughter Hailey. CC said that she is lonely for her BYC friends and she appreciates the cards folks have sent. She has been out of touch after mishaps with her computers. She hasn't had Internet access for about a month now. Hopefully her computer will get returned fixed this week.

Local residents were surprised last week when CC and...

Rooster Attacked (again) by another rooster..HELP!

feeds@yuku.com (LEE) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:20:47 GMT

Hi

I posted a couple of months ago after the first time "Redneck", our sweet rooster who lives at the farm where I volunteer, was attacked by anotehr rooster. This poor little guy has been through his share of traumas ...though I'm afraid this last one might do him in...or at least restrict him to a not so pleasant existence.

He recovered beautifully from the last incident except for that he lost sight in his right eye...otherwise, his other eye was 100% and...

Hunched up watery droppings

feeds@yuku.com (Betsy01) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:32:54 GMT

7 year old hen: hunched up, squirts clear poo on occasion, passed only egg "white" yesterday, ate this morning but not this evening, is drinking, I inserted a finger into her vent to check for an egg and felt nothing but she felt really hot. Her comb is purple, crop empty. She was broody and hasn't laid an egg in over 3 weeks. What do I need to do?
Thanks

Bird Medications, Uses, and Doses

feeds@yuku.com (calpsychik) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:31:18 GMT

A very comprehensive list:
http://www.pigeoncote.com/vet/formulary/formulary.html

Remember that most of these have not been authorized for use on food animals (egg or meat), so you use them at your own risk! Many vets recommend withdrawal periods of 2 weeks to a month.

Some of these doses are different than a vet prescribed for my chickens (this list is for pigeons, which are much...

Help, can't find a thread I read

feeds@yuku.com (handymans special) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:06:29 GMT
It seems as if a recent visit to this forum was during a dreamlike sequence. I visited many threads and saw pictures of some next boxes I would like to recreate. Of course, I can't find a single one of the threads now. There was one thread with a video of a pair of ducks 'helping' a chicken lay her egg. - that is gone, too. Was I dreaming? Has anyone else see that video? It was a very neat nest box setup the hen was using, too.

Janice

I went to the coop early this morning to open the door, there sat one of my black hens outside with her head bent down to the ground. My heart leaped and I said, "OH, NO!" She jerked her head up, looked around as though to say, "I guess I didn't make curfew last night!" Julie

Hi all.... Well, many of you "know" my huge blue cochin roo Dumbledore. He is now 5 years old. I was thrilled to get a purebred BLUE cochin son out of him late last year (Hagrid). Hagrid is gorgeous and every bit as large as dumble. I have 19 hens, but of that, 3 are very young - but... still enough to go around. Dumble has kept Hagrid in line - but yesterday it changed and Hagrid went after him tooth and nail, so to speak. They were both bloodied and in the middle of it,...

The day before I tossed the eggs from the Hamburg girls. Remember I wasn't going to do anything with them? I went last night to check for eggs. A big fat zero. I went to the Dutch pens, nothing. I don't get it, they just started laying again after our heat wave. I'll check again in a little while to see if there is anything in the nests at all.

I've since learned two things; I found an egg in one of the out buildings. Would never have found it if all three Hamburgs...

I got Ellis from Trade Center Supply(TSC) at begin of last May. At first, I thought he was gonna be partridge cochin because thats what he looks like when he was days old chick. But now as he has got older and older, he doesnt look like cochin anymore! I wasnt sure if it could have been dark brahma? But wasnt sure if there is any BANTAM brahma?
Ellis is only 3 and half months old. And yes, I suspect Ellis is gonna be rooster cuz of its hacket being so pointy. isnt he ?
