That is good to know, I wasn't sure. Glad to see it is not mites. I haven't seen any pecking on her since she arrived so hopefully she'll be able to heal up nice and quickly. :)
I am honestly not sure where she was kept. Now she has plenty of room at her new chicken coop. I notice new feathers growing back (I'm not sure if you can see that in a picture) . The women told me they are 3 months old. Seems kinda young for molting, but I am not an expert on chickens.
We just bought five Dark Brahmas and one of them has missing feathers on her back. Are they mites? She is the only one so far that is missing any feathers. Could you all help me out?
Thanks you guys! :) It seems like it took a while, but makes me happy that they aren't living in a dog house anymore (haha) and got somewhere nice/safe to live!
Thanks. I hope it doesn't come to that. I might try letting them meet somewhere

This my Josie! She is so good with the whole family, cat, chickens, my daughter. Question though. She is being super aggressive towards my lab. Jumping on her and biting. snarling, teeth showing its like the more comfortable she gets with our family the more aggressive she gets towards Zuzu...
We are finally done with our chicken coop, I am so happy about it.
When I first brought three chickens home we had to keep them in a dog house. Yes I know not safe, so we worked our butt off every night when my husband got off work and all weekend.Finally being finished felt so good. I saw the...
I live in OK and the summers are horrible and humid, but winters are nice and cold. :) She has pretty fur, I am not sure if she is full purebred (she is not very big) but she has that pyrenees fur and I just love it!! Can't wait to see it come winter all fluffy! Mac is a beautiful dog!! Thanks...
Let me get some more pictures of both chickens. Yeah I know that that Easter Egger in the back ground is a rooster :) If they aren't Austrathorps what breed are they? Sorry everyone I am a newbie.
