It's been very warm here in TX so frostbite isn't an issue. They live in a coop every night and the roosts are round. There's hardware wire for the flooring.

That's what I'm thinking. They don't have any symptoms of mites.

We brought home some Barred Rocks about 3 months old a week or so ago. One morning we noticed one of the hens was missing a toe and thought she came that way and we just didn't notice. The next 2 days another emereged from coop missing a toe. Then The rooster was missing a toe and spur. Some say...

We feed our chickens scratch grains. Well, we used to. Now they won't eat it! What's up with that and what do you feed your chickens?

Very informative. I have not checked her for the ectoparasites, but will as soon as I hit the send button. Thank you!

What great advice! We had bought all the chickens together and now, something is wrong with our other Silkie. I posted a picture in a new thread. She lost her feathers on her back.

All the other chickens were standing around watching him. It's like he's doing some funky dance in his head and the body...

about 8 months

My Silkie roo is walking around with his balance off, kinda doing a figure 8 and going in circles and biting at other chickens. What is going on? It's frightening me!

P.S. I'm pretty sure it's our Americaunas Polly and Anna doing it!

Thank you, I appreciate that!. I'll get some

What's wrong with Neil Diamond? He has a raw spot and feathers are funky.

Thank you!!!!!

We have a couple hens that have been sitting on eggs for 3 weeks now. Some of the other hens lay their eggs in the same box as the broody hens boxes and I don't know which are fresh, and which are close to hatching. My PLAN is, to get out there tomorrow and mark the eggs, but until then, here is...
