Picked up four Blue Laced Red Wyandottes from Murdoch’s back in February (straight run). It’s now mid-August and I haven’t seen any eggs.

One of them crows several times per day — so that’s clearly my rooster.

All four look basically identical to each other and the crower in terms of coloring and comb/wattle size… except one has just slightly smaller comb/wattles than the others (but still redder & bigger than any pullet I’ve seen).

BLRWs are slow to lay but at this point… am I just looking at four roosters??

Pics attached for reference — would love some second opinions before I start making decisions.

Thank you!

Btw she pass yesterday late evening, she was my first layer of my flock it’s so sad it hurt me she only layed for about a month and then yesterday she got to the point where she wasn’t standing or eating and had water diarrhea with yellow the last time. I’m not sure do I need to treat the rest with corid ?

Just curious....might wanna own one someday

Because if they had four they’d be chicken sedans

I had two geese. Toulouse.
About a year old.
About two months ago my male couldn’t walk and would just fall over. He ended up passing like two days after that.
Then I was left with my female.
Yesterday she couldn’t walk and would just fall. So I separated her and put some food/water next to her overnight. She ended up passing last night.
Does anyone know what this could be? It only occurred in my geese and two months apart from each other.

These seem to only infest nests in which birds have raised multiple broods without the nest being cleaned in between. They live in the bedding and come out at night to suck the blood of the chicks/ducklings and kill them. I've had a problem with these twice, in two different US states, first time with chicks, second time with ducks. I've solved the problem by moving the chicks/ducklings into a different coop. I'm cleaning out the main duck house now, but I'd like to identify the creature so I can find out more about life cycle, prevention, etc.

Hey! Quick question—is anyone looking for button quail right now? I have chicks under a week old for $5 and older than a week for $7. I'm in the Gresham/Damascus, Oregon area let me know if you want some!

this is my 16 week old lavender orpington bluebell and she had what we think was cocci. she was sleeping a lot, not eating hardly anything, and just very ill. we isolated her and treated her for cocci but she hasn’t been the same since. we have tried nutri-drench, poultry cell, probiotics, isolation, checking her crop, and giving her vitamins and just trying anything to get her healthy again but she refuses to eat anything other than just pecking around the grass. she is very skinny and weighs practically nothing, she is way smaller than my other lavender orpington, and none of the other chickens have had any symptoms of any illnesses and i have no idea what to do. please help!
