    Possible bumble foot?

    I just wish I knew why she was putting her weight on the one that looks bad and not putting weight on the other foot

    Possible bumble foot?

    So I have a bantam Cochin who is limping. I’ve checked her feet and I’m thinking she might possibly have bumblefoot (pictures below) on her right foot. The crazy thing is yesterday morning she was favoring the other foot big time but that one seems fine. Like she is barely putting any weight on...

    Attacked by a falcon!

    Help! One of my chickens was attacked by a falcon this afternoon. I’ve cleaned her wounds, mostly just scratches but there are a couple spots I’m concerned about. Right at the point where the wing come ya to the body and a puncture just in front of the wing. I’ve flushed with saline and applied...

    17 week Rhode Island Red gender

    I’m curious to see if she starts laying soon or holds out till spring. My 26 week old hens are laying still, only started about a month ago, so anything is possible! Fingers crossed! :fl

    17 week Rhode Island Red gender

    I've been pretty confident that our little Penny is a pullet but I just want to make sure I’m thinking correctly lol. She is 17 weeks now and since she is my first and only RIR I have nothing to compare to. I feel like she is much redder today than she normally is...perhaps getting ready to lay?

    Thinning wing feathers?

    I’m not necessarily concerned about nutrients I just know that can have an effect on the feathers if they are lacking something. They get mealworms and fresh fruit/veggies as treats. For feed she is on a mix of layer/starter feed because the others aren’t laying yet

    Thinning wing feathers?

    I’m pretty sure she is actually the dominant one based on behaviors when I introduced newbies to the flock. They aren’t penned up too much during the day, they spend most of their time ranging in my big enclosed garden

    Thinning wing feathers?

    @Wyorp Rock here is a photo of her. With the angle you can’t see the feathers in question but they are always showing at her side No rooster, she carries her wings the same as the other chickens but those flight feathers are very exposed because of the curls. And they were definitely more...

    Thinning wing feathers?

    I noticed today that my bantam frizzle Cochin has thinning in her flight feathers. I checked her out good and don’t see any parasites. Do I need to be concerned about this? She is 21 weeks and just started laying a week ago (6 eggs in 8 days!), she it the first one to lay in the flock, I don’t...

    Introducing new chickens
