    Rough patch on feathers

    After a good look at the the affected chickens vents, under the wings and where the feathers are missing, there was no sign of any lice or mites. I’m going to get those cameras installed soon to see if it’s just feather picking.

    Rough patch on feathers

    I’ll make sure to check for the mites and lice. However I don’t really think it’s from bullying do to the younger birds already being integrated for at around 4 months now. I’m currently in process of installing some cameras in the coop and the pasture to better monitor them in the future.

    Rough patch on feathers

    We have 4 older hens (2years) and this hen is one of the 4 newer hens (8 months). Around 3 of the birds have experienced some feather loss as seen on my other post. The scabs on her comb are when she was first introduced.

    Chicken feathers missing

    Hey all, A few of my hens have missing feathers on the front of their neck. This has been going on a little while now and am trying to find out why. I don’t think it’s molting because it is already January. Is this because of molting or something else?

    Weird color chicken egg

    Hey all, recently one of my younger hens started laying. However she lays very pale eggs. When rubbed off with water the egg goes back to brown. Is this something I should be concerned about? Note: Normal egg on right

    Feed storage

    I’ve been storing feed in a galvanized trash bin for awhile and they are good. I keep it inside the garage. I recently got more chickens, hence more feed. I usually keep the feed inside the bag but now that’s not possible because they don’t fit. Can I just dump the feed straight into the bin...

    How do you store your feed/scratch?

    Went out to Home Depot and got a metal trash bin. Works perfect as we had problems with rats beforehand.

    Chicken fell in water

    last update: I woke up to check in her and she was up and active. Completely back to her normal self, moody and loud. She’s eating and drinking fine. I let her run around a little outside and decided she should go back to her friends in the run. Thank you to everyone for your help!

    Chicken fell in water

    Ok update: chicken is in a small bin in the house all wrapped up like a little burrito in Towels. She’s under a heating lamp and appears to be better. She drank a little sugar water. Under the wings is warm and dry. Thank you all for the help. Will update you soon.
