    Bumblefoot: is surgery the only way? The vet said it's not necessary.

    Hi, guys! I'm currently a bit worried about my chickens. I'm still in short of money to build their coop since I'm strugglying with my own health. However, my lavender brahma had bumblefoot... The vet told me to clean the area and apply an ointment which I did for 3 weeks. I'll write here the...

    Rooster noises: is my roo feeling comfortable or sad? + Strange behaviors

    Omg, thank you so much! Your answer is truly gold!!!!! "This also may be why the other rooster was aggressive with you: he interpreted what you were doing was attacking or trying to mate with the other rooster. Or he may just be an aggressive idiot." I agree with you! I thought he would be...

    Not a disease, but: how to care for brahma's feathers?

    Hello! I took quite long to answer, but the doctor told me molting in Brazil will happen all the year. We can observe some feathers falling but not all of them. Well, Titânia is currently on molting. Her back has very few feathers. She was also hurt by lice... BTW it's SUPER hot here. I'm not...

    Not a disease, but: how to care for brahma's feathers?

    Thank you! Since me and Titânia are going to the vet this wednesday, I'll ask about the molt and about the amount of fish she would recommend for them. Well, Titânia doesn't really have those things around her calamus to form feathers this moment. I asked the seller today he said she's around 8...

    Not a disease, but: how to care for brahma's feathers?

    That's right! The sir who sold me Titânia told me she's a lavender one. I was just not sure she was really a pure one... But his brahma in the picture look much more bright and fluffy than Titânia, specially the feet. Her feet is always a mess... BTW, when I find her feathers on the floor...

    Not a disease, but: how to care for brahma's feathers?

    In fact, I live in Brazil, so it's tropical and it's hot almost all the time in my region (South is colder, they can reach 0 degrees). It's 32º Celsius right now by the way and she's laying everyday in the morning. I didn't know I could offer fish for chickens. I eat fish everyday, by the way...

    Not a disease, but: how to care for brahma's feathers?

    Hi, everyone! This is Titânia. She was introduced last month to the flock. She came here with some problems that I'm already solving with the vet's help. But I was wondering if there's something I can do for her feathers to look prettier. I know in this picture we can't see it well, but her feet...

    Rooster noises: is my roo feeling comfortable or sad? + Strange behaviors

    Exactly. I'm not rehoming them! I'll build a coop in which I can separate the girls from the boys if necessary in the future (saving money for it right now). It's just a prevent measure. Also, I know Auri would become food if I rehome him and it would hurt me a lot. And he's a good rooster even...

    Rooster noises: is my roo feeling comfortable or sad? + Strange behaviors

    Well, since I live with them since they were chicks, it's a fact that Sol could do it 'cause she did when she was a chick!! BigBlueHen53 gave a kind and good advice! It's just that maybe not all chickens will do it. I hug, carry and cuddle Auri all the time and he never tried pecking my face. I...

    Rooster noises: is my roo feeling comfortable or sad? + Strange behaviors

    Hello, Everybody! I came here few times since I'm a first-time chicken mom. I have 4 chickens. Three of them (2 males 1 female) are 6 months old and the other one I'm not sure but I think she's less than 1 year old (got her recently). I was very worried about re-homing my boss rooster (Auri)...

    Help! 5 months old pullet laid her first egg + introducing new hen

    Hello, Mrs K! Thank you for your answer! You're right! I don't have much experience with chickens. It's all first for me, but as I said before, I have dilema. I tried to rehome Auri, but it didn't work. Me and my mother were heartbreak. He was also following me like crazy, I felt like abandoning...

    Help! 5 months old pullet laid her first egg + introducing new hen

    I feel more relieved!! I think I'd be too anxious to leave such good chickens to someone else who could mistreat them... Auri was getting a bit violent, but I somehow managed his behavior. He's only stressed when it's about time to get in the coop... Apart that, he's calls the others for food...
