    Tail feathers bloody and plucked by other chickens

    Thanks for the reply. So I cleaned the wound up the best I could. I had my husband hold her over a basin while I poured fresh water over the are to try to rinse it. I then used betadine and sprayed Vetericyn over it. It was a really uncomfortable for her and she was trying to wriggle away, but...

    Tail feathers bloody and plucked by other chickens

    Yes, I have a dog crate that she can recuperate in but she’s gotta go back out eventually. Will the change in temperature put her in shock?

    Tail feathers bloody and plucked by other chickens

    Thank you for the quick replies. I’m gonna take her inside and get her cleaned up. But I’m concerned about subjecting her to such a drastic change in temperature once she’s cleaned up and goes back into her isolation pen. It’s 30 degrees outside. Is that too much of a change? How do I...

    Tail feathers bloody and plucked by other chickens

    I need emergency help to save my chicken. She recently finished molting. I think the other chickens saw the blood feather and began pecking. They’ve plucked out her tail feathers and she’s a bloody mess. They have plenty of space, this isn’t due to over crowding. my question is: are her...

    5 week old Dominique

    hello all! I was hoping some of you could lend your expertise to sex my 5 week old Dominique. Recently, she’s been making some weird noises and her behavior towards the other pullets is making me wonder. She likes to dive bomb the others, and sometimes will climb on top of them (more like...

    Going away for the weekend?? 4 wk old chicks

    I have 6 3-week-old chicks that are currently housed in a spare bedroom, indoors in a brooder. I have to go away for 2 nights for work. Is it safe to leave them for this time? The chicks will be 4 weeks old when I have to go away, if that makes a difference. I have a hanging quart waterer with...

    2.5 week old Barred Rock chick—hen or too?

    Hello! I’m brand new to chickens. I have 6 chicks that are 2.5 weeks old. I’ve really become attached to them but with each day, I’m becoming nervous that I may have a couple of roosters instead of hens. Specifically, my Barred Rock (or maybe he/she is a Dominique, I really can’t be sure as I...

    Hello! I have 6 2.5 week old chickens (light Brahma, Dominique, buff Orpington, silver laced, partridge Cochin, barred rock). I received them when they were a day old. It’s been great fun having them and I can tell I will have chickens always, from here on out. It’s amazing how attached I’ve...
