Great article. I only have a very small number of those items, so I love that you have it all written down for us.

Thank you, I will. Definitely not a poop butt, butt will give her a good washing. What type of soap do I use or just warm water?

My leghorn is molting, her backside is completely bare, it is covered in white. Could this possibly be some kind of fungus or bacteria? I have attached a photo. (Not the best shot) Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Very informative. Will keep this information handy in case of crop emergencie.

;)Thank you for replying. I seperated her, washed her leg and applied some Hydrogen Peroxide. She ate and is resting comfotablely. I'll see how she is in a few day and I am pretty confident she will pull through and be up and around in no time.;)

My dog attacked my young Hen 2 days ago. Feathers are hanging off from top of chin all the way down. Is eating and drinking, but not sure if it is staying in her. Tried to attach feathers but unable. They keep coming loose. I am new at this and do not know what to do. Will try again to...

Thanks for the response. I will look under "dog attacks" and see what i find. She is still alive and at times full of pep. Seems to be a good sign. Time will tell.

MY chicken was attacked by my dog last night. I separated her and she is alive and alert this morning. The dog got her around the neck and pulled all her feathers off. They are still hanging from her "chin", or top of her neck. Her flesh is exposed. I saw her take a drink this morning, but...
