I recently had a chicken who got sick and died. She started with a thinning tail but seemed fine. Then suddenly she lost the feathers on her breast, got very thin/weak and died. I now have two more who have lost the feathers on their breasts and have the thinning tails - they seem ok health...
Hi All,
I'm fairly new to "chickens" and have six Black Australorp hens. I'm wondering what is the best material to put in the nesting boxes? Right now I have hay but would love your opinions. I have pine chips on the floor.
Thanks!
Hello,
I live in PA and had two chickens who passed away. Yesterday I got 6 new Black Australorp hens (about 16 weeks old). My problem, they all look the same and I want to be able to tell one from another. Is there an easy way to identify them that won't hurt them?
