Hello! I have a 5.5 year old Rhode Island red hen. She has always been super healthy - no problems ever. Earlier this week I noticed that she had poop stuck to her butt feathers, and I took her inside and cleaned her up. But this has reoccured since then and her comb has shrunk and she has lost...

I understand that roos generally despise being held, but this one acts like he is being murdered. He is also being super scared when he is not being held. They have been handled from day-old chicks till now, so this doesn't make much sense. The other rooster (speckled sussex) is fine being...

Here are some pictures of the BO's feet. The Favorelles girl is improving.
