    She does get picked on from time to time. I've heard that Buff's are so docile that other breads will act more aggressively towards them. I thought they were just establishing pecking order and it would stop. I really don't want to introduce an antibiotic unless I have to. I'll keep...

    Those were great sites. This does look like Avian Pox, hopefully just the dry pox... They all talk about no treatment just prevention but I am going to continue with the saline and neosporin. I'll keep an eye on the other girls and do the same for them if I find any. Would it hurt to give...

    Are my girls confused?

    My girls are about the same age and they actually go in the coop to sleep but still pile up. I have been going out and putting them on the roost. They are slowly getting the hang and I'm finding them piling closer and closer to the roost each time... I too, have a night light but I'm thinking...

    Howdy from Round Rock, Tx! Just getting started but we have 4 girls, hopefully. They are four weeks old now and love their coop. I was surprised to see how quickly they learned to get in the coop at night. The auto door is working great.

    Posted years back under different profile "farmerpalermo." Finally got my girls, at least I hope they are girls. 2 black australops, 1 buff orpington, and a golden sexlink. My little barred Plymouth Rock "Rocky," didn't make it through the brooding, he showed no growth for 2 and a half weeks...
