    Butterfly chicken saddles

    Does anyone know where I can get some butterfly chicken saddles? It has to be the butterfly kind becasue of where the roo wears off a circle of feathers off my hens. I have some, but let one of my girls hatch out some chicks so I need more. Louise does not seem to be doing it anymore!! I can't...

    Feather loss

    Thank you! :). The saddle is because of rooster boy. He is breaking feathers... but it took him awhile to do it. He is not doing it on purpose. He is a pretty good boy otherwise, I hear they can sometimes cause some significant damage. He took on a Great Dane!! The Dane had no intentions in...

    Feather loss

    OK thank you... I have had chickens for 6 years now and I have never seen feather loss like this for molting!! Exp when she lost them all overnight. I guess she is just a crazy molter. I feel like a noob now lol

    Feather loss

    It happened over night, just the breasts on her, and perfectly naked... like a plucked chicken. She has molted before and it never looked like this. Plus I have the other hen with the same thing just a lot more. No one else is doing it and they are all the same age.

    Feather loss

    Something ripped a very large amount of feathers out of one of my hens. I am not sure what it was, there is a lot missing from around the neck, the back, the breast, and her but. Now a would imagine a predator would have been able to kill her since there is so much gone from the neck. Not only...

    Re integrating hen back onto flock

    Ok good. its been 2 weeks and she raised the others since they are just a day or so old. She is the mom. That makes me feel better. i am just gonna give it a few more days till I know she is healed. The thing is she is avoiding them like the plague so I hope she just gets over it. Maybe she is...

    Re integrating hen back onto flock

    Ok so a while back my hen was injured. Now either she cut herself (quite badly) on a window or it was the rooster. There was 2 slices the same length and the same width part So I don't really think it was him as the rest of the girls are fine. Now I had to take her and put her in a dog crate in...

    White and black spots on comb?!

    I think it may be frostbite. Not sure about the discharge it could have broke open and got infected. Any others have any suggestions?

    Letting my hens hatch eggs.

    OK I will, though i suspect your being really sarcastic. If not then I am truly sorry. With my BSL I bought some balls from the dollar store. I place 9 balls on her nest, she then laid 6 and then sat on them got that 1000 yard stare and would not move off the nest. I bought some chicks waited...

    Letting my hens hatch eggs.
