    Comb and wattle frostbite

    Hi, I have a rooster named Lucky, almost 1 years old I believe. Australorp. We had a really cold night and I went outside to feed and he had frostbite on his comb and wattles. This was not there yesterday. He seems to be eating and drinking fine and not in too much pain to not terrorize me, so...

    Hen has blue-purple lump under skin

    Yeah this is new skin (when I say scalping I mean it was really ripped off her head completely) so I'm really hoping it's just something ingrown

    Hen has blue-purple lump under skin

    Hi, I have a hen, not sure exact age but she's under 1 and she lays eggs. I was giving her a bath (she needed one) and while drying her off I noticed a lump in her back hackle area. It's blue/purple, it's hard, and maybe about the size of a bug. When I touched it she didn't seem to be in pain...

    Hen's wound is infected (I think)

    Sorry it took so long to reply, I went to bed after making the thread. I have pictures now, and no I really have nothing except for two antibiotic creams, but they have pain killers in them so I can't use them, I'm working on getting stuff but I can't right now, I just wanna know if there's...

    Hen's wound is infected (I think)

    Hi, about a less than a week ago my hen got a terrible injury on the back of her neck/head area, probably from a rooster but not sure, I cleaned the wound twice a day and put manuka honey and vaseline on it twice a day too (I do not yet have antibiotic cream that doesn't have pain reliever in it...

    Injured chicken, can I bring her inside?

    Hi, I made a thread yesterday about how my hen lost a good several inches of skin on the back of her neck. She's in her own separate cage outside, but the problem is it's cold. I live in Michigan and we have 40 degree F nights around this time, and although I know she can regulated her...

    Rooster ripped hen's skin right off (Graphic imagery)

    The bleeding seems to have stopped, I have a picture of it now, I'm sorry I'm just still shaking I'll see what I have but any antibiotics I've found in my house have painkiller in them, so I'll see what I can do with some soap and water

    Rooster ripped hen's skin right off (Graphic imagery)

    Hi, I went out to check on my chickens today and I noticed my hen bleeding from her neck, I isolated her and got a closer look at her, my rooster ripped the skin off her neck, she's still alive and walking around shockingly, she's eating and drinking but I don't even know what to do. Is it...

    Chick makes this awful noise in the morning

    Hi, I have 3 olive egger female chicks, I'd say they're 4-6 weeks old, and in the morning, one of them (I don't know which one) makes this awful noise around 9 AM that sounds like a creaky door. She doesn't make this sound any other time of day. Maybe tractor supply lied and gave me a male...

    Given 3 hens (?), wasn't told their breed

    Yeah I get that, I've certainly had my share of asking a seemingly normal question and getting ridiculed, so it's alright! As long as your intentions were good!

    Given 3 hens (?), wasn't told their breed

    Oh yeah they're in a separate cage from my other chickens, we know that's a bad idea I'm not sure about their living conditions but I'm pretty sure he was just giving me an excuse to not say their age (might've forgot or something I dunno, he also tends to give himself more projects than he can...

    Given 3 hens (?), wasn't told their breed

    Hi, I have once again been given birds. Life is just like that I don't know. I don't know their age, person who gave them to me said they should start laying eggs in a few weeks, they're small with no comb and waddle so I dunno if that's true. He says it's because they were raised in a small...

    Are leg bands uncomfortable for chickens?

    I'm not sure where it is as my mom put it on while I held him, I'll check later though, and I honestly never paid attention to whether he had feathers on his feet I didn't know it was important, I'm very new to all this so I'm sorry

    Are leg bands uncomfortable for chickens?

    I don't know what feather footed is and I don't know how really tight the band is or supposed to be, but this is the type of band

    Are leg bands uncomfortable for chickens?

    Hi, yesterday I put a leg band on one of my chickens and went to bed. This morning he's sort of stumbling around and limping and kinda like, hopping to walk? I don't have a video of it but are they uncomfortable to chickens? I don't want him to be uncomfortable
