    Mites, hen pecking, or other disease??

    We added new birds last summer. Originally felt we had a lot of feather pecking going on. The adolescents kept preening and pecking the beard feather out.

    Crusty mouth/beak 5 year old favacauna : pox/canker?

    6-7 week old blue laced Wyandottes sexing

    In case anybody ever looks at this thread for information on there chickens, these two did indeed turn out to be girls. About 4 weeks later I am pretty sure given there pale pink combs and lack of wattles. They would be about 11-12 weeks in this photo
