    My Guinea have stopped laying after a death in the coop

    All my hens are young, just over a year old. I'm thinking it was the shock of losing one, they had been together since birth. As long as this is a natural thing to happen I don't mind as long as it doesn't hurt them.

I love my hens but it has become apparent that the Buff Wyandottes I ordered is what I got but something else was mixed in because a few of my hen have different combs. The hens...

    Black spots on my chickens combs

    The spots dont rub off. All the chickens seem robust healthy and are all eating well. I checked all their feet and there isn't any scaling. After reading all I could find and looking at the pics on the internet I'm ruling out Pox, none of the spots look similar to what I saw in the pics and...

    Black spots on my chickens combs

    One of my Hens as well as my Roo has black spots on their rose combs. I havent been able to find any info on this other than frost bite and the temps are not low enough for that. Should I be worried about it?
