I had a couple chickens like this during summer. The other chickens were pulling out the feathers from their fluffy butts. Eventually the feathers grew back. :3
I love when I have the time to do a complete clean. I normally clean for my chickens as best I can, but when I have time, I love to make the area look absolutely brand new. You're right, it feels so nice after and is so worth it. Your chickens will appreciate it too.
Edit: Looks like I...
I love Cochins, all types of Cochins. So everyone let's post pictures of our Cochins, age, name, and what category they win in your hearts. Just for fun. Every fluffy butt chicken is a winner.
I'll post a couple pictures of my hen and deceased frizzled bantam. I'll grab pictures of my new...
We found one of our broody's nests on the patio. There were twenty or so frozen eggs, they're nearly unbreakable. My brother and I had fun launching them into the air, the never broke.
You saw my thread, but I'd just like to help you out now. My boy started out exactly like this before plummeting to his symptoms now. Make sure he keeps eating and drinking, I'd isolate him aswell. The only thing my boy wanted to eat was just his regular food, be careful though. I had water...

Nope, she's quarantined as well. :3
The food has been changed for a long time, we just bought completely fresh stuff as well, just to be sure. I'll do that with the water, thanks!
Thanks flashover, I'll try to get you some more info today.
Aww, Jbpatwood I hope your roo gets better!
Originally I had brought back a chicken from the fair and she seemed fine. A few days later she was floppy and could hardly walk and later, she kept falling over and wasn't able to get up. Now, two weeks later she's fine again. However, I have two other birds now that are sick, they seem to...
Thanks for the compliments guys~!
Thank you very much for the tips Black Cochin Bantams, I'm definitely new to this! We purchased the birds for my first ever 4H project~
I'll snap some pics tomorrow of their leg feathering and overall type, I might have some pictures of their babies as well...
I just got my first Cochins (bantams) in August! I got them from a lovely breeder at the fair~
I love this little breeding pair, and my buff Orpington is sitting on six of their eggs. C: Their names are Desmond and Alys.
The hen got the tips of her comb ripped off by a mean rooster. Oh...
I just wanted to share this cute picture of my brother and his Mille Fleur d'Uccle chick. The little girl absolutely loves him! I can't quite remember how old the chick is, a month or two? He'll probably want to post more pictures of her once he sees that I made this post!
Please excuse the...
My hen Beatrice (Buff Brahma, about a year and a half old) came back from the local fair and she seemed perfectly normal until a few days later. I noticed she wasn't running around the yard as fast as usual, and she didn't seem to have any interest in her daily activities. Just after I noticed...
