My white leghorn's comb has turned white on the top and started to scab. We had some very cold weather with windchills in the negatives. I watched the girls and everyone seemed okay, but then I noticed her comb turned white on the ends. It has some scabs that I can't tell if they are from the...

I've been doing lots of research on Bumblefoot on here and on the web. My girl has a very swollen foot. I turned her foot over and it had what I thought was the scab on the bottom of her foot. We washed off her foot and I got to work on removing the scab. But, it was more like a hole in her...

We picked up our chickens from the hatchery on Monday and this little one seemed ok. It's now 4 days later and she can't stand and is very weak. I've been holding her all day to keep her close and warm and have given her watered down yogurt through a dropper and also some water with vitamins in...

I got some Polish chicks from Meyer Hatchery on May 23th. Two of the chicks died within 48 hours so they offered me a refund so I could replace those two chicks. The next available hatch wasn't until June 13th (3 weeks later), so I ordered 3 new chicks (figured 3 was better than 2)! I...

My two RIRs both have raw, red butts and missing feathers on their butt and top. The redness and raw started when one of our chickens turned out to be a rooster (this was a surprise)! Once he started getting at the ladies we got rid of him. That was at the end of January, so I expected the...

I have 7 chickens. 2 RIR (6 months old), 3 White Leghorns (approximatly 8 months old) and 2 Buckeyes (18 weeks old). The one Buckeye gets picked on, but mostly over reacts to everything. She screams and runs to hide when another chicken gives her a sideways glance, so she is very dramatic...

Long story short, I'm a first time backyard chicken owner. I got 6 Rhode Island Red chicks in April, and 4 of them turned out to be roosters. We had to get rid of them. My dad's friend raises chickens and he gave us 3 white Leghorns. He said they were about 5 months old and had just started...

We are first time backyard chicken farmers, and when we got baby Rhode Island Reds in April, 4 of the 6 turned out to be roosters. We had to get rid of the roosters, and my dad's friend told us he could give us 3 Leghorns that had just started laying (he said they are between 4-5 months old)...

We had a "rooster problem" (as in, I had the luck of picking 6 baby chicks and 4 of them turned out to be roosters), so, the roosters went to "live on Uncle Ryan's farm" and my dad's friend who raises chickens gave us 3 laying Leghorns and 1 4wk old Buckeye. The Leghorns actually integrated...

We have 6 Rhode Island Reds. They are 11 weeks old. 4 of them have very large combs, and 2 of them hardly have them at all. "Everyone" (this is a collective "everyone" who actually know very little about chickens) is telling me that the 4 with the combs are roosters and the other two are...

I bought chicks at TSC and I *think* they were sorted, but my cousin said when he went they only had unsorted ones, so now I'm wondering if I have hens or roosters. They are 5 weeks old in these pictures. What's a good method for telling them apart?
