    Feather loss

    I will try really hard to get a picture but the chicken that has the problem doesn't like to be handled. I have a barred rock that has lost quite a few fethers around her bottom and now has lost feathers on her crop. The skin looks bright pink but other than that I see no signs of anything...

    Gold Sex-links being aggressive?

    I recently added to my flock and the chicks were let into the coop just a day or two ago. My two gold sex links immediately started attacking and chasing the chicks to the point of almost ripping one of my leg horns combs off. After reading some posts I have heard this breed can be aggressive...

    How much down time should a chicken have during the winter?

    most of my chickens lay unless they are molting. Then they take a month or two. Occasionally a week off here or there. It really is the individual bird.

    Long story but any info would be appreciated.

    I recently added a new rooster which upset the pecking order in my flock. It moved a chicken that wasn't there to begin with, to the bottom. She hasn't taken it well and seems to be losing some weight. Her comb has been blodied on different occasions and now it is pale and some of the areas...

    Rooster attacking one of my hens.

    I recently got a new rooster as my old cochin was too submissive and getting stripped of his feathers by the hens. The new rooster is a full sized mixed breed. Yesterday was the first day he was out of the cage with the hens. Today I noticed that he attacks one of my Rhode Island reds. He...
