Please provide more info so we can better help you - do you know what was the cause of the injury? Is there any smell or discharge from the wound? What blue chicken cream are you referring to? Have you used any other products on the wound? Age of the hen (I'm assuming this is a hen from the...

What a cutie! You can also try posting on the state tread https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/find-your-states-or-your-countrys-thread.270925/

It's hard to tell from the pictures if there are any pests. It looks like feather pulling. Her red bum is just going to make it worse, you could try some blue kote to hide the red and help it heal. If you can watch them and see who is being aggressive and when/how it's occurring. Do they all...

Could be some kind of pest. Please inspect her very closely and see if you can spot anything and check if any eggs on feather shafts. Can you post some close up pictures and we can help you look.

I think that might be tripe (stomach lining of cow, sheep, pig)with onions or scallions and whatever those round things are - yellow cherry tomatoes maybe? I think that dish is called montsumikomi. Tripe is not common anymore in the US but not uncommon in other places. I had something similar...

If Sunny is getting aggressive perhaps a time out then reintroduction to attempt to reset her position in the pecking order may be needed. If that doesn't work then some people might try something like pinless peepers (i've never used them myself but some say they work), maybe set up a permanent...

I'd guess pullet. Pretty!

I give mine away to the neighbors when I get to many. You can also beat up individual eggs and freeze them in silicon muffin tins to be used for occasional frozen treats for the chickens in hot weather or for scrambled eggs or thawed and used in baking, they last quite a while in the freezer. I...

That's a tough situation and I understand why you're concerned. Keep treating the wound as you are and hopefully it will heal, the purple stuff was probably blu-kote. If you want to post pictures of the wound that might help to determine how it's doing. As long as there's not infection- pus/bad...

Concerning. Contact your local representatives, tell your friends and neighbors, everyone should speak against this.

Cecal is about every 8 to 10 poops and you're probably just noticing it more than other poop because it is yucky looking, sticky and stinky :sick. If everyone is eating/drinking/acting normal then I wouldn't worry.:)

I don't know if you can get this in the UK but we can buy it here in US from several different hardware/garden stores and online from Amazon.

If you have free range chickens and don't have a coop and run secured with hardware cloth to keep them out - then found this video that provides some helpful information.

We have several kinds of hawks around where I am. And lots of crows. Don't believe the old wives tale that crows deter hawks completely, crows will chase hawks and alert you to there being a hawk around but it won't keep them from coming after your chickens. When my chickens hear the crows now...

I know several people have discussed this in the forum before @iambebabeba I think had a post I saw about that crossing and had some good results. Maybe they can chime in with their experiences. @NatJ also may be able to provide some good genetics info?

You could try posting on your state thread and craiglist too. Good luck and I hope you find him a nice home! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/find-your-states-or-your-countrys-thread.270925/ https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/how-to-post-on-craigslist.76257/

I'm so sorry that you lost your dad. :hugs The weather certainly hasn't been cooperative for building. Sounds like you've given them a good place and are keeping them well entertained till you can get the covered run finished. :thumbsup I have a mirror, a hanging swinging perch, some old hard...
