Thanks everyone! I know it's not a rooster because I only have the 3 hens. She is also the only one that isn't laying yet, the other 2 are. I will keep y'all up dated.

Thanks! I will continue to watch them...They are all pretty normal except for this bald spot.

I checked to see if I could see anything on her and I didn't. I did go out and spray down their coop yesterday though just in case. I'll have to watch and see over the next few days I guess.

I don't have a rooster, just the 3 hens. I have noticed her being pecked at once or twice. I have also noticed her pecking at it a bit, that is when I started using the blue kote and giving them some scrambled eggs for the extra protein. I just didn't know if it was something serious that I...

I posted on the emergency board but maybe y'all will know. Y'all all seem so smart! So my girls are about 27 weeks old. Only one is having this issue. I started noticing that she was missing feathers and then yesterday I saw that she now has a huge bare spot! The other two are fine. I...

A parasite?? You mean like mites or something completely different? These are the first chickens I have ever had.

I have 3 chickens that are about 27 weeks old. Only one is having this issue. I started noticing that she was missing feathers and then yesterday I saw that she now has a huge bare spot! The other two are fine. I started spraying blue kote this week to hopefully keep the others from pecking...

Hope everyone has been well!! I am super excited, 2 of my 3 are now laying!! Today is the 2nd day in a row to get 2 eggs!! YAY! I am just waiting on my Easter Egger to start laying. I think I read somewhere they take longer to mature. For awhile I was worried because everyone talked...

I am pretty sure, this was about a month ago, this is about the time they all started to really turn red and grow in there combs and such. I'll have to try your trick with the shell.

It's not so much that she is easier to catch it's that she isn't backing away and fluffing up at me being a little more aggressive. I should have added when she first pecked at my shoe I kind of bent over and was talking to her and she flapped up and pecked me right on the nose!!! My barred...

So I have 3 girls, about 21 weeks old. A Barred Rock (more tamed first to come up to you), Black Australorp (a little shy, hangs back), & an Easter Egger (changed her name to cray because she is a little spastic & crazy). My DH said he noticed the black australorp trying to peck at him, which...

When you say coop do you mean actually inside the coop? Or just in the coop/run. I got my first egg last Friday! And just got another one today...yay! BUT this one was laid just in their run. The other one was laid in the PDZ of the poop board. I have plastic eggs in the nest box and you can...

Thanks! I was pretty excited. But I haven't seen another one today.

I'm really not sure. It could be one of 3 but I'm really thinking it's my barred rock.

Of course she didn't lay it in the nest but in the poop board with PDZ but it's an egg!! I actually moved it to the nest
