I have a hen that is red raw and losing feathers. Could this be from my rooster or some type of pest? Should I seperate her from the rest ? Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Thanks. No mosquitos. Def maybe frost bite. I saw pics online and was afraid of that. I just went out and found the vents along the soffits on the coop clogged with dirt and straw. There is moisture on the ceiling but not much. It has been a pretty mild winter but a few cold days with wind...

Is it normal for a roosters comb to have those black marks? He is healthy (as far as I know)

Yes to all above questions. They all only use one of the 4 a ailable nesting boxes.

So, I had one out of my 5 hens acting like she was a mom. We do not have a rooster so I am saying she was broody. She would scream at me when I took the evgs and sat on ALL 4 eggs as though she was hatching. 2 weeks into it after kicking her off the eggs she seemed to "stop". Now all of the...

Thank you for your response . We took her to the vet to get put down. He confirmed what I had thought. She had a blockage. Not sure why or for how long. It was obvious that she was starving. You could "pinch" her breast bone ( not sure what it is called ). I feel horrible for not catching it...

So now I have one chick that was laying every day all week. Unfortunately they ate one of the eggs which is a huge problem I understand. But today she did not lay. Is that common or a problem? I just put a bunch of straw in the coop because the weather is changing. Noidea what I am doing but I...

I have 6 chicks that are 18 weeks old. They have not laid any eggs yet. I saw/heard one of them in the coop making some strange noises and it was obvious that she was in the nesting box. The wood shavings were as though she was burrowed down in them. I was sure she was going to produce because...

I have 4 chicks that I received 10 days ago. I was going to go pick up 2 more of the same age (same place) and didn't know if it was okay to do so?
