    Help 16 week old chick picked to near death

    I had my 4 buff orpington pick on our blind Americauna until near death. They were ok in the first few months but must have discovered she was different and I had to separate her for good.

    Light colored comb?

    One of my hens has a really lighter colored comb than the rest of my girls and she is losing alot of feathers? I am a first time chicken owner, only a year, so I am not sure what this could be. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

    How To Get Chickens To Stop Pecking Another Chicken?

    That is so weird that your Americauna is picked on by the buffs, I have the same problem!!! I have 4 buffs and one Blind Americauna. I think they realized she was blind and that made her different so they picked on her. Of course she, Bella, is our favorite and we just can't get rid of her so we...

    Cleaning up a chicken...

    I don't think my hubby will go for that, lol. Would it work to use a warm rag and just clean that area? Would I still have to dry her off? She is probably not going to like it, not really that tame......

    Cleaning up a chicken...

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but, literally, my buff orpingtons are great, however one of them has a serious dirty bottom and I can't remember where I read about how to clean them up so they don't get a blocked vent? My hubby thinks I am nuts but I can't stand looking at...

    eggs are tough to crack/peel

    Is it normal to have the shells be extremely difficult to crack? or does this mean I am giving them too much calcium? Also, when I hard boil them they are a pain to peel.....any suggestions? Thanks:)

    Do all young hens start off laying small eggs?

    My girls took forever to start laying, they were 9 months old. However, the eggs were large right away. Once in a while we get a smallish weird shaped one, but not too often:)

    Dog that eats eggs?

    I have a problem with our German Wirehaired pointer. If I set an egg down somewhere, even for a minute, he grabs it and eats it, I think? I left an egg on a small table and wondered what happened to it and then I found a few small pieces of shell on the floor and assumed Jesse ate it! Now...
