    Rooster Breeding Injury

    Thank you!! @Wyorp Rock No flies on the wound right now, so I’ll keep an eye on it. Fingers crossed they molt this fall and get back some new feathers

    Rooster Breeding Injury

    Hello! My mother-in-law just gave me her two salmon favorelles; her rooster clearly had favorites, and their saddles are so worn off 😞 One has a wound under her wing - it looks ok for now, I just put some blu kote on it. For both their saddles - is there anything I can do to promote feather...

    Skunk attack wounds - please help! **GRAPHIC PHOTOS**

    Hello everyone! Saturday night my husband and I were enjoying the last light with the girls out and saw a skunk skulk behind one of our sheds. We quickly put the girls away and shut the coop. The next night (Sunday) we went out a little late to shut their door and the skunk had obviously gotten...

    Looks like your OE has a small tuft on her head similar to the tuft my OE has! So cool seeing all the varieties of how OE's can turn out
