    Polish chicks pecked bald

    I noticed a few days ago and have since separated them from most of the other chicks which are rir's, and started applying vaseline to deter. I dont see any new pecking but how long will it take for new feathers to come in? It's so baffling to me, like i was watching them before treatment and...

    Underweight bantams?

    I got two little american game bantams, they're so small but also their keels are pointy. I've tried giving them dry pellets, mash, grains, dried worms, and some scraps whenever i have some but they aren't gaining weight. Is it normal for them to be on the skinnier side?

    Hen is having trouble breathing

    Actually i went ahead and checked. No, her eyes arent bubbly, i can still hear her breathing weird when im not holding her. I checked in her mouth but didnt see any obstructions. Her nose isnt running either... I just got her so I hope she will be okay

    Bantam pair breeds?

    Thank you everyone!! That makes me so sad that he was dubbed incorrectly though. I love him and hes such a sweet boy. Supposedly he's like 7 months old? Will he stay sweet? I see that the breed you guys mentioned is largely used for cock fights and that makes me nervous that he will be more...

    10 month old pullet hasn't started laying eggs

    Hi again.. its been a while. My little girl Sugar is now a pullet. She has a huge pair of wattles and comb so a part of me is concerned she could be a roo but she doesnt have any rooster feathers, never crows, and acts like a hen. Plus she's a white leghorn so she was bound to have a big comb...

    Fermented some feed, did i do it right?

    Sobbing. I heard cayenne can be good for "preventing parasites" but honestly i wouldn't be surprised if I was lied to because that's just the condition of keeping any animal these days. Thank you!!

    Fermented some feed, did i do it right?

    I combined water, oregano and cayenne pepper with whole grain (millet, milo, sunflower, corn) and some egg layer pellets that my chickens don't seem to like very much lol. It's been fermenting maybe about 2-3 days, with the lid loosely placed on top so gas could escape. Every time I opened it to...

    3 month old pullet or cockerel?

    99.9% sure pullet, but I'm doubtful of my luck as all 4 others appear to be pullets too. Thoughts?

    Cat attack, please help

    Thank you so much guys. I might start to bring my chickens inside during the night and early afternoon, to protect them and it's been getting very hot during the day (I gave them a big wading pool and bring out frozen treats every day but they are still showing a lot of heat stress)
