    Mites, Pecking or Something Else?

    7 birds. Run is 90 square feet. Coop is 6x6 by four feet tall with a roost. I let them free range in the afternoons and I don’t often see them peck each other. All my chickens but one are missing their butt feathers. All the chickens lay normally except this salmon faverolle.

    How to Stop Self Pecking

    I have a salmon faverolle who had her beard picked at all winter by the rest of the chickens when food froze to her beard. Now she stands in front of the other hens waiting for the feathers on her neck and chest to be pecked, and if they don’t peck them then she does it herself. How can I stop...

    Jersey Giant Butt Feathers Missing

I have a few other hens with feathers missing below their vents, but their skin is healthy and I attribute that to their good egg laying. This jersey giant is otherwise healthy. I’ve posted a...

    Surviving Minnesota!

    Awesome! I lived in Plymouth as a kid. I live in CT now, and have a small backyard flock. It's cold and snowy here, but not as cold and snowy as Minnesota.

    Salmon faverolle

    I have an 8-week old salmon faverolle outside in the run. I just looked back at old pictures and her wing feathers were mostly an orange-brown, not that dark. Keep us updated, I would be curious to know what it is.
