This may sound weird but I didn't know who else to ask. I have a rooster who is turned vicious and I picked him up to put him in his pen (we have had to isolate him, he is destroying the birds) and he pecked my bicep and broke the skin. The injury is very odd. It bled a little but mostly under...

He usually looks like this He is such a beautiful boy. He is an Australorp. He is about 8 months old, he has reg wood shavings in the coop, they have roost poles but usually stay out in the fenced in in chicken yard. There is another younger roo but they grew up together and have never...

This photo was taken in June. This one was taken later in the summer. The hens have filled out but haven't started laying yet, but I think one just did. I got a little egg the other day. There was a roo in the group (rescued, long story, good ending though) and he is a beautiful, big roo...

I already have two roos that don't fight, and this one seems to be really sweet but I am praying it is a girl. But the feet are really big. The comb is small. I just don't know. PLEASE take a guess. I think he/she is about 5 months old. More photos:

Before I knew better I took about 5 hens off of someone who I no longer trust. These were supposed to be hens. There are three that look like this and are NOT laying. Not crowing either. Is it possible for it to be male?? If so, what breed?? And I am almost certain this Australorp is...

This bird is extremely high strung and runs super fast so it was hard to get a good photo.

I think he is about 14 weeks old.

UPDATED I am going to be talking to the state vet (AWESOME INFO) in the morning but I have a question, I have two little birds who never shared bedding, food or housing with any of the adult birds. I am prepared to lose my entire flock but was wondering if these birds, who aren't even in the...

Update I spoke with the Diagnostic Lab as well as a woman from the Kentucky Dept. of Agriculture. The diagnosis was definitely ILT and there was a trace of Mycoplasma. Since we have already treated for MG 10 days ago, (tylan 50 1.5 ccs and 2 for big birds for 3 days each--all of them) and...

I am worried i will lose even more. Please help if you can.

I need to find the vaccine ASAP. I don't know if I can buy it anywhere other than ordering it online? I have no idea what to do. I have isolated the sick ones and every time I do they die. Two coughed up blood. I have tried everything. My husband and I just tore apart the coop (again) and...

Originally I thought it was "pasty bum" but it has gotten worse and is more along the lines of vent gleet as described on several internet sites, including BYC. I have washed her several times only for it to get worse. She is a mess back there. It doesn't seem to bother her but it looks...

I got them from a friend who kind of rescued them but they spent a few weeks quite confined. I have a huge fenced in chicken yard, a shady area and lots of grass for them to play on. They either clump up in the chicken house, in the corner of the yard or next to the quarantine pen. The only...

The comb looks orange but it is pink. Thank you for any help!! Cheryl

The first photo is the most recent. The second photo, the close up, was taken 6 weeks ago. Thank you in advance for any help.

I got some hens from a friend who had too many and they are supposed to be Australorps (sp?) They were rescued and were in a cage all together. They lay snuggled together like little chicks. They seem to think they are still in a cage. I have a very large, fenced in area for them to pasture upon...

The combs on the other two are tiny and baby pink compared to the brown and white one. His is big and red already and he is the smallest/youngest one! Thank you for any feedback. I love them already. Also, I have no idea about the one behind the brown and white one either. They look like...
