Thanks, got some athletes foot fungle cream, I think it contains miconazole. Should that work?

Thank you so much :) .. I wonder why none of the other birds have gotten it

Thank you.. if that’s what it is, is it contagious? This rooster has been living with our flock and they haven’t been affected at all

It’s face has always been a little dry but it’s gotten MUCH worse recently

Here’s another photo.. to be clear: it’s face has never been this bad, just a little dry .. it’s gotten much worse recently

Our 5 month old rooster has always had a really dry, odd face..but we never really thought anything of it. Although it’s hard to tell in this picture.. his face is really puffy and not like any roosters we’ve ever seen. What skin condition might it have and how can we fix it? Also there are a...

Chick is now walking around happily without any assistance! we ended up using a bandaid which worked well🐣 thanks for your advice

thanks for you reply, we read up on different methods and ended up using a bandaid, do you think that would be strong enough to work? She/he seems quite tired (probably from hatching?) so isn’t interested in trying to walk right now, just sleep.

Thanks for that 👍

She’s been broody for approx four weeks sitting on unfertilised eggs. We thought it was strange too although I wasn’t very specific before..she was off them for about hour and a half and then we lifted her back up and she stayed there, we left the house and when we came back we realised she...

Last Wednesday we gave our committed broody hen 8 eggs, we removed her from the flock and all went well until yesterday. She hopped off her eggs (we presumed she was just having a drink and food break) but she was off them for approx 4 hours and only spent about 20 minutes eating and drinking...
