No, I haven’t noticed anything else off. It’s just the paleness.

Yes, most of them are. One or two are coming off of being broody and may not be laying

So it’s been pretty hot for days, it can get up to 100 degrees. We’ve been free-ranging the chickens and it’s mostly in the shade but still hot. For a few days I’ve noticed a lot of the hens get really pale, like white combs and faces. They have multiple water stations and drink a lot but I...

Just found this insanely small egg in our coop today, is this a problem or just a funny occurrence?

Thanks for all the replies! We figured it out and kept them in the indoor coop with some fencing around, big enough the chicks can explore and run through the fence but other hens stay out. All five eggs hatched, and we’ve got great and fluffy little babies!

So we gave one of our broody hens 5 eggs to hatch, today we got our first one hatched! Once they’re all hatched and fluffy, do we need to separate mama and babies from the rest of the flock? Or will they be fine on their own? They have an outside area where they are most of the time and the mama...

We do have two small bantam roosters and a big australorp roo. We’re getting rid of the trouble one, and now that I think about it it’s possible he’s been trying to mate and just pulls out feathers (he’s super small). I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it continues, thanks.

Not entirely sure but 6-8ish months, the flock JUST started laying

My hen has some feather taken out on her back, is it mating or molting? If it’s from mating, is that a problem or is it ok?

Our two bantams got into a fight today and we’ve separated them, and our silkie has some comb damage. We cleaned it a little bit and put anti-bacterial ointment on it, and it is sort of at the base of his comb and I’m worried it will could be damaged enough to come off if he rubs his comb or...

We have a very small and very pretty porcelain bantam rooster, who would do well in a flock with bantam hens. He’s getting all mean because we don’t have bantam hens for him. (The picture below is a little old) and we’re in the Fauquier County area in Virginia.

I don’t know if that’s an option for us but I’ll keep it in mind, thanks!

We desperately need to rehome our two Sussex roosters, we have four Roos and they fight. They are free, in the Fauquier County area in Virginia.

Our 7 month old bantam rooster has these black crusts all over his comb, could they be bugs, or scabs, frostbite or sunburn? They’re inside the coop at night and we live in Virginia so the temperatures have been fluctuating from 20-60 degrees a lot lately. No other chickens have it but he is the...

Could I put something on it for that?

Shouldn’t be frostbite. We live in Virginia, the lowest temperature it’s been is 60 degrees.

Doesn’t act weird, he’s around 12-15 weeks old. Very small bantam.

I don’t see them in any others, and I tried to pick one off and it didn’t come off.

my bantam rooster has little black specs like rocks or something in his comb and wattle? His comb also seems dry and flaky.

Our bantam rooster, Mr. Blue Sky, is pretty mean to our flock. He’s around 10 or 11 weeks old, and when he’s with his favorite person (my little brother) he gets all cuddly, rubs his beak around his hair, and makes these tiny baby cheeping noises. He doesn’t do that with anyone else (and usually...
