Can anyone suggest a way to strip off the waxy cuticle/coating off my old girl’s new tail feathers? I know they are very sensitive but I didn’t do it after her last fall moult because I assumed they would fall off. It took months and her feathers never spread out properly, the poor thing never...

So sorry, I’ve had to go out of state unexpectedly. As soon as I am able, I’ll get photos. Thank you for your response.

My 8 yr. old hen’s nostrils are slowly being closed off by her own tissue. She’s been coughing intermittently for 2 yrs. or so but has been healthy in every other way. No signs of contagious disease, but her nostrils look to be closing off, and not by mucus. Eating aggravates it as she eats...

Mine won't eat green pepper flesh but love the centers.

What type of sand did you use?

Practical and charming! Wish it were mine :-)

By the way, what is the age difference between the chicks and the new chickens?

You should put Blue Kote on the areas that are wounded to discourage others from picking at that area. I am too new at raising chickens to offer any additional advice...sorry.

No, no roos. Also, she is at the top of the pecking order and the other 3 hens get along w/ her just fine. Just as in her previous molt, she started losing the small feathers on her face and head. I just hope it doesn't continue into a full molt.

My banty Leghorn finished a winter molt about one month ago and hasn't starting laying again yet. Now that the days are lengthening she appears to be starting another molt and I am concerned. Once again she is loosing the feathers on her head and is replacing them. I worry that this is going to...

I'd suggest doing a forum search on trimming spurs....should be a lot of good advice. Just use the search box located under "Logout". You are wonderful for taking in these birds. Poor guy, nasty wound, so needless.

taprock- I love your quilt. You are very talented! Good Luck

Could it be an abcess?

So glad your Silkie is doing well! What is ACV? One thought about releasing the rabbit. A white rabbit will be very vulnerable to predators, unless he's in the snow. I'm not sure wild rabbits will take kindly to him, but I don't know a great deal about them. It makes sense though, as male...

Quote: Yes, sounds like she's broody.

Quote: I agree, his feet don't look normal----I think mites also.

Definately not pink like a BA. Anyone, could she be a black Rock?

She looks like my BA, but mine has slightly darker feet. Check between her toes, close to the feet, for pink skin. Sometimes it's more apparent in my hen than the bottoms of her feet. Pretty girls!

I have 2 BR pullets and one has a more curved tail than the other. Yours look like pretty pullets
