    Odd growing bump on my naked neck’s neck

    The bump is slightly larger now and the “scab” has fallen off on its own, revealing a good-sized crater beneath. It does not seem to be infected— nothing oozing out and neosporin has no effect. The bump is solid, not squishy. I can’t find any information on anything like this.

    Odd growing bump on my naked neck’s neck

    I noticed a small bump on the neck of my naked neck hen’s neck a week ago. It has grown and now has an opening on it’s top. It doesn’t seem to hurt her when I touch it. Nothing is oozing out of it. Any clues?

    2 year old hen stopped laying and I’m worried

    What would a wave pattern or irregular imprints tell me? Her shells were normal but on the thin side.

    Her last egg is long gone. I recall her eggs were noticeably thinner than those of her sisters. I’ll try the frozen coconut oil idea. Thanks.

    As an aside Louella is not acting broody, so that doesn’t explain the lack of eggs.

    2 year old hen stopped laying and I’m worried

    I have a small 2 year old hen Louella in a flock of 3, all the same age. I do not artificially light their coop so they stopped laying in November and resumed in February I think. Louella’s eggs since then have been infrequent but huge, much bigger than those of her 2 larger sisters. A couple...

    10 week olds that I suspect are cockerels

    Can you please tell me if you think these are male? If so I need to find homes for them outside of Seattle. 2 photos of each.

    Male or female Turken?

    She/he is 5 weeks old. We can’t have roosters here in Seattle and I will be heartbroken if it’s not a pullet because it is such a sweet character! I’d appreciate any insights.
