    feather loss around vent

    I am having a similar problem with 2 out of my 6 girls. All the downy fluff around the vent area is gone. They've been treated for mites, worms, etc. and no re-growth has taken place. They've been that way for about 5 months. The 2 with the problem are barred/Plymouth rocks. The other 4 are...

    Please help a newbie - no idea of breed or sex

    Yes, so they said earlier. However, last small photo of 3 on the step has surrogate mum in it (top left - in the middle of moulting). The only hen I am "sure" of is the little white one in the background in the cat picture. They're about 10 weeks old now, possibly a bit older.

    Three have quite prominent combs - little black one and two speckled/spotty ones. The little black one is very red, the other 2 less so to varying degrees. When do spurs start to form anyway? (I stupidly thought they'd have rudimentary ones straight out the egg!!!)

    Hi folks. We got 2 Australorp (or we think they are Australorp) hens and a little cream hen with caramel flecks about a year ago. Little cream hen sadly passed away in January and our biggest Australorp girl then got broody. We got a dozen fertile eggs from a friend of a friend and our...
