    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    He has even gotten past his baby crow (which sounded broken) into what I am proud to say is a full blown crow :-) and he is like 3-1/2 months old.

    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    He is doing much better, thanks. It was nice this weekend so we had him out of his "infirmary tub" walking around the yard to strengthen his legs. His hole is even healing really well. I'm amazed by how resilient chickens are.

    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    Happy to report the wound is healing nicely and rooster has even started crowing....although tonight after giving the shot of penicillian he started clucking oddly and then seems to have lost feeling in his feet and legs...I think I missed the muscle, but he still happily ate his cheese (a treat...

    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    emys, unfortunately there isn't any nice pink flesh surrounding the hole to be able to stitch. I will avoid peroxide going forward. Would A&D ointment help or should I get neosporin without pain medicine. Would saline solution help?

    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    Thanks, we have him isolated him from the rest of the flock and have him under a heat lamp in the pen as it is very cold here. We have also put up a barrier to the newly introduced chickens to the flock of existing.

    Hen Pecked Rooster - hole in side, surrounding skin black

    Help, we have a rooster that has been hen pecked where feathers are missing under his wing and there is a hole in his underside. We can hear noises coming from the hole the skin, can see what looks like intestines, and the flesh surrounding is black and crackly. Some of the other skin on his...

    Cinnamon Queens and Black Rocks???

    When they were little they had yellow bottoms and a bit of white in their wings (which has grown/molted out)...one is so big she won't get up on the roost bar herself (just a little spoiled). Thanks for your input.

    Is it possible the larger black hens are Black Australorps?

    Cinnamon Queens and Black Rocks???

    Thanks, but any idea what type of sex-link?

    Both started laying the same day........and both on the roosting board

    From what I've read it is common for the first eggs to not have a lot of substance to the shells but they do harden. I haven't had any lay over night but often I've found eggs outside the coop on the ground. I figure since mine just started laying that they are not aware of what was happening...

    Cinnamon Queens and Black Rocks???

    I've got an assortment of hens and have identified the Mille de Fleur and what I believe is a Japanese Buff Blacktail bantams....but assuming these reds are Cinnamon queens based on pictures and these various black ones are black rocks. Can anyone confirm? The bigger of the black hens have a...
