    Molting or feather issue?

    Vents are clean, I don't see anything crawling on them or near their combs/eyes. So im hoping it's just a molt!

    Molting or feather issue?

    Molting or feather issue?

    Im not sure if we have mites or lice, they don't seem to have any signs of them but i only check on them a few times a day lol. Some are losing a small amount of feathers on their backs/shoulders but I believe it's our rooster playing favorites with some of the hens. I do sometimes see the other...

    Molting or feather issue?

    Good morning! It's spring time finally in new york, and I'm noticing some of my almost year old hens loosing feathers starting around their necks/shoulders. They have never molted, I got them as day old chicks in early july and i never noticed them molting other than their first chick molt. Two...

    Unfortunately yes, eggs 1+2 weren't fertile for some reason, or they were early quitters since I saw absolutely no development!

    Number 11 turned out to be a beautiful silver/yellow looking chick! Once everyone has a few days to settle into the brooder I'll take individual pictures. So surprised and grateful 9/9 hatched without issues!

    Everyone is doing well! Still waiting on #11 to hatch but since its been about 24hrs since everyone else hatched they were all moved into the brooder. I'll get better pictures of them individually but I'm so so happy with the turn out and how nicely everyone hatched! Excited to see the colors...

    3, 5 and 6 have all pipped! I can hear some faint chirping which is really neat. Hoping the rest decided to join the pipping party!

    Lash egg maybe??

    Thank you again so much, I worry about these silly birds lol. She is completely normal now, back to herself and very happy to be back with the flock!

    Lash egg maybe??

    Tysm for the response! I feed an all flock pellet because we have a rooster and I offer 24/7 oyster shells and have recently been feeding the egg shells back to the hens. She normally lays beautiful healthy looking brown eggs but this morning i found the other half of a very soft egg shell with...

    Lash egg maybe??

    Hi all! I've got a super sweet hen who's less than a year old that was acting fine this morning but now seeming uncomfortable. She was hanging out inside the coop (which isn't common) a little fluffed up and not interested in any scratch grains when I spread them. Her crop feels normal, slightly...
