A few of my hens have been losing feathers. I've checked for mites/lice and haven't noticed anything like that but I don't really have a trained eye for spotting them. Anyway, my RIR hen was in the nesting box this morning and I noticed her feathers. I do have a rooster, and he has a few...
My poor roo Foghorn had to be isolated due to bloody behind (I was told my other chickens may have pulled his"blood"feathers? Idk a lot about chickens as this is my first flock so I am still learning very much. I have him isolated bc they kept picking his bloody rear. Well now he is showing...
4 week old muscovy, we have (had) 3 of them. A brown, blue, and black. We put them in our new duck tractor with a kiddie pool, food, and a small house, long story short, we went to check on them, and the two were walking around peeping normally and the brown one was laying flat between the wall...

Im pretty sure shes a hen, but this is coming from little to no chicken experience. However, i dont know what kind of hen she is. Shes grown pretty quickly, one of the two biggest of my first six chickens. I thought she was a buff oprington when she was a chick bc she was in a bin that was not...
I am new to owning chickens, my grandparents had them for a long time and i eventually (from a series of unfortunate flogging events) became pretty anxious around roosters. :lol: :/ and well, pretty much all chickens. But i decided to try my hand at raising some chicks in hopes that they may not...
