    Which rooster should I keep?

    I cleaned them up a little after I took this picture, hindsight I probably should’ve done it before but I was super busy. They’re both doing well. I was given a trio when I already had a rooster but the people I received the hens from wanted the rooster gone as well and wouldn’t consider just...

    Which rooster should I keep?

    I have two Lavender Orpington roosters and one needs to go. I want to keep the one that will be best for breeding and both are not people aggressive so that isn’t a problem. We had some wind last night that blew open the door separating the roosters and they fought so that’s why they look beat...

    Large wound on hens neck***WARNING PHOTO***

    That’s good to hear! I’ve been holding my breath the last couple days, I’ve never dealt with such a large injury on a hen before. Should I be covering the wound at all?

    Large wound on hens neck***WARNING PHOTO***

    I’m not entirely sure and that’s why I’m worried. I’ve been slathering her in bag balm so the exposed skin won’t dry up and cause her more pain. The bag balm melts and looks shiny/yellow but I hadn’t put any fresh balm on her when I took the picture. What antibiotics would you recommend and how...

    Large wound on hens neck***WARNING PHOTO***

    It’s going on 4 days now since 4 of my hens were attacked, 3 of which died. The one that survived has a large open wound on the back of her neck. I’m pretty sure I interrupted whatever animal it was that was attacking my hens because the bodies were still warm and one was still alive. I...
