    No rooster, I live in suburb but I noticed the ladies sometimes go on top of one another. I always wanted to get her a little sweater but I could never find one!

    1 of my black astrolorps has no feathers on her back, what can I do?

    Hello oh my goodness I touched her belly and yes it does feel very watery, I know this may be irrelevant but she has this obsession with water whenever I’m changing it she just drinks and drinks and follows any water trail on the floor.

    Thanks for your kind words, I am starting to think it may not have been an injury after all but a reproductive issue, after reading some of the replies. I might be taking her to the local bird vet this afternoon. The good thing is she seems a little better.

    I’ll have a look into that, thanks. I’ve never given a chicken a tablet like that before, I do think she is low in calcium. I let her out and currently she’s found her way to an outdoor chair and is nesting in that.

    Hello, both her wings look abnormal and her tail is down. She comes outside every day so gets whatever sun is available. She normally eats all day long. We feed the chickens a classic seed mix as well as protein-based food, and our leftover veggies and lots of lettuce and grass from the garden...
