    Hens "cock fighting"

    They eat the same type of food as normal, weather has been constant, overall they have the same environment as they have had the last year or so.

    Hens "cock fighting"

    They both weigh around 5 lbs. Neither of them is going broody, both laying a few eggs per week. We collect the eggs once a day. There have not been any challenges to the order that I know of. The barred rock normally picks on the welsummer a little bit but not enough to do any damage.

    I looked into molting but dismissed it when I read that it starts on the back and works its way down the rest of the body. I thought that it could be mites or lice so I bought some permethryn 10% solution. I sprayed her down yesterday, and sprayed the coop as well with the diluted solution. I...

    Egg production drop, Diarrhea, and Bare spots

    Hi, My 1 year old Welsummer hen, stopped laying eggs around 13 days ago. For the last week, she has had very watery poop, sometimes with a white haze. She has a spot on her back that has been ruffled for the last few months, but only around 2 weeks ago, it has started to go bare. It is...
