So, I have a coop of 7 hens and a rooster. One of my hens is a Naked Neck, I noticed that whenever the hens want to take her food, she'll lower her head towards the ground, and if she doesn't, they'll bite the skin on her neck... Is this bullying? They don't peck, they only tug at her skin once...
My Red Star has gone very light in weight, when I pick him up, it's like holding air. He is not very lethargic, but he walks slower than the others, when he eats, he doesn't eat everything he pecks at, he also drinks water. He also has a pooey butt.
What's wrong with him, and is there...
Hi, fellow chicken-lovers!
Do any of you know what breeds my chickens are?

He has black legs....
I was unable to get a picture of their entire body, they just keep moving around. xD

Hello!
A few days ago, my chicken broke her leg, today, I noticed the top of her leg, where it meets her body, is blue? She is eating, drinking, chirping and hops around on her good leg. Why is her broken leg blue and is it serious? Please let me know!
One of my 2 month old chickens won't eat, she'll only drink water but she still walks around pecking the ground.. Is she okay or is she sick and what should I do?
For a little while now, I noticed that one of my chicks is limping and when I took a closer look at her, something was going on with her foot. It was like she couldn't spread out her toes.
It looks something like this:
Can I know what it is and how I can cure it?
Thanks very much!!
I've been trying a while now to introduce my chicks to my cats and dogs without them trying to bite it.
One of my dogs go absolutely crazy if any of the other dogs or cats go near the chicks' coop.
How do I introduce them without any of them getting eaten? :/
Hello!
I became a new chicken owner about a month ago when I got 12 "female" chicks.
I just noticed today that one of my chicks' comb is more red and a bit larger than the rest of "her" sisters. I just want to know if it's a male or female.
Thanks very much!!
